CasaIdana
Your private three-bedroom retreat in Udaipur, welcoming up to nine guests, with a beautiful rooftop terrace for memorable evenings.
Terrace lounge
01The house
Whole house,
one booking
Casa Idana is a cosy, modern home with a warm, homely feel, and you’ll have the entire place to yourself. Three comfortable bedrooms, each with a queen bed, room-darkening blinds, a TV and air conditioning. A private living room with board games and a ceiling fan, and a dining table with plenty of space for the whole group. The kitchen is fully equipped if you fancy cooking during your stay.
One of our favourite parts of Casa Idana is the outdoor space — a beautiful terrace lounge where you can sit back and spend the evening together, along with spacious balconies, a firepit and plenty of outdoor seating. The terrace has its own outdoor kitchen and dining area, so you can cook, eat and enjoy the evening without having to head out.

04Occasions
Birthdays, shoots
and anniversaries
A good many groups book Casa Idana for a reason — a birthday, an anniversary, a Valentine’s evening, a pre-wedding shoot, a family getting together after years. The living room takes a decorated arch without looking crowded, the dining table seats everyone at once, and the terrace has held more than one evening that ran late.
Mention the occasion when you enquire and your hosts will help you set it up — they know the people in the city who do flowers, decoration and cake. Valentine’s evenings and pre-wedding shoots work beautifully here too.
Arrive during Diwali and the house is lit for you — torans at the gate, diyas up the stairs.

10Our vision
Why we
host at all
At Casa Idana Udaipur, our vision is to offer travellers more than a place to stay — a beautiful, peaceful and personal experience of Udaipur.

Inspired by our lives in education and the Indian Army, we value grace, discipline, integrity and service. These values shape the way we welcome and care for every guest.
Our vision is simple: to make every stay at Casa Idana memorable, meaningful and effortlessly comfortable — with the warmth of a home and the elegance of a boutique retreat.
