A SCARLET DREAMSCAPE
Balanced Life
|August 2025
With its elaborate architecture, tranquil gardens and sensory-rich experiences, Villa Palladio in Jaipur is more than just a getaway - it's a journey into vivid imagination.
Just 20 minutes from the heart of Jaipur, stands the candy- striped wonder of Villa Palladio. Designed by Swiss-Italian hotelier Barbara Miolini, together with Dutch designer Marie-Anne Oudejans, this private retreat is a love letter to colour and culture. The nine-room private villa emerges as a whimsical fusion of Indo-Mughal opulence and Italian maximalism, which might be what a Wes Anderson fairytale set in the 16th century would look like.
