In October my parents had to go to Mumbai. We planned a short trip for them to Panchgani. The stay was at The Blue Country resort.
In my mother's words "Panchgani is a beautiful hill resort not far from Mumbai. The Pune expressway is the best route to take. Once you reach Panchgani the sign boards that you expect of the Blue Country resort are missing. One has to keep asking at the crossroads. A sign board at the crossroads would be very helpful. The steps down from the reception were cumbersome, esp for senior citizens. The swimming pool was great, accessible from all the rooms. The Gujarati food was good at the resort. In October we did not get strawberries but we got custard apples which were delicious. Mahableshwar is one hour from Panchgani. The tableland is a good place to visit."
My parents had a great time at the resort.

The resort looks lovely Namita and the pool delicious.
Even I agree with your mother on sign boards for directions. It was very confusing if you go on your own... keep asking from locals.
Yeah, Panchgani is beautiful. :)

Panchgani is a quiet hill station situated about 247 kilometres away from Mumbai and 98 kilometres from Pune. Taking its name from the five gentle hills surrounding the town, Panchgani is a nature lover’s delight.
