The resort is located conveniently amidst coffee plantation. Jio is the only network that works. Place is tastefully done but lacks practicality. Night vibe is the best but there is not much to do at this place. Food is passable.
Now coming to positives: Tastefully done property though lacking practicality Good vibe during the night esp when it gets comfortable 24 degrees and when lights are on Very quite and away from daily hustle bustle
Cons: No AC, my bad that I forgot to check explicitly. Days are unbearable esp if temperature is above 28 degree Celsius. Reason why no AC is installed by the owner -birds gets disturb, fair enough. But my point is for a room where one is paying upwards of 10k per night at such hot temperature - AC or cross ventilation is a must. This is where rooms lacks practicality, no mesh on balcony doors or windows so no cross ventilation unless you want to keep doors and windows open day/night and risk pests, lizards and flies to enter your room. Single fan in the room is insufficient if you are more than 2 adults. No daily cleaning of rooms offered or change of bed or bath linen provided. Food was passable, though chicken was served in every meal we all struggled to find flesh and taste, I need to meet the chef or butcher to learn such an art š.Attaching more than 1 pic to bring attention to such horrendous cut of meat. There is no common Swimming pool. Swimming pool is available for Villa guests which costs 20k per night and this too doesn't have ACs.
Overall very passable property for the amount one pays.
Avoid if you are with kids as property does not have anything to offer to keep kids occupied . A good place for couples if you are not inconvenienced by heat, passable food and lack of activities.
All these feedbacks were provided to the owner, hopefully it will be taken into account and the stay will be better for forth...
Ā Ā Ā Read moreI visited Sereno BARN in September 2023 with my cousins. We were a group of 8. We rented the villa along with 2 rooms. The place is spectacular⦠undoubtedly one of the best resorts in Chikmagalur. The minute we entered we were greeted by friendly smiling hosts⦠they were very down to earth, warm and accommodating. Always addressing us with a smile⦠The place itself was serene and breath- taking nestled among coffee plantation. We had rented the villa which came with a private pool and we had a ball enjoying the pool in the noon. The host provided us with huge Bluetooth speakers and it was literally a pool party! We had lunch and food was delicious & piping hot! In the Evening snacks we were served with back to back array of lip smacking dishes! From French fries to bhajjis, veg fingersā¦& many more!
Night we were provided with camp fire and starters in food - chicken lollipop and kebabs were scrumptious. We danced, sang karaoke had loads of fun.
Dinner was again served hot - their chicken biryani is highly recommended! Along with their akki rotis.
We were absolutely in no mood to vacate. It felt like home away from home. With tastefully done interiorsā¦.
Would definitely...
Ā Ā Ā Read moreExcellent place for a group or families get together. It is really a serene environment to go to get away from busy city life. Tha location and the surrounding environment is beautiful and very pleasant. The villa is excellent and as good as any villa in the city. I have to make a special mention about the hosts. Suhas is such a humble, helpful and friendly guy, you never feel you are away from home. He is always there to take care of your needs. And his mother ,Mrs Sarala Majunath was lively, jubilant and very actively engaged the families, especially the ladies in all the games and entertainment. I thank the other staff also for their excellent service. Special mention about the food, local food very tasty and could not stop eating more and more, especially Akki rotti and chicken curry. Not happy to leave the place so fast, and am already planning for the next trip. I strongly recommend this place for any family outing looking for a peaceful and enjoyable...
