SAMODE HAVELI

Individually designed rooms, filled with antiques and hand-woven damasks, are spread around a maze of courtyards and gardens - some still used by the family today. The vast swimming pool is a welcome sanctuary after days exploring the bazaars of Rajasthan's capital, its muslin-draped edges sheltering guests from the searing heat. In the evenings, north Indian specialties from the tandoor oven are served by the light of a thousand candles, or in the hugely atmospheric peppermint-cream walled dining room, under the gaze of dozens of ancient ancestral portraits.
