From the window you can watch everyday life unfold in the street below, and from the roof terrace you can look out toward Chamundi hill and the town. The climate in Mysore is pleasant for most of the year and there are ceiling fans throughout the flat, but air conditioning is provided in the bedroom for those who want it. Nivya can prepare breakfast, lunch and dinner on request, which you can enjoy in the flat.
You will be guaranteed the warmest of welcomes if you choose to stay here: however, as your apartment is self contained you can enjoy complete privacy whenever you wish.

Rooftop Retreat is located in a quiet hillside suburb only 10 minutes from the town centre by autorickshaw or local bus. With its colourful houses, small shops, and home industries like joss stick making, the area is fascinating to walk around, and gives visitors a taste of everyday life in an area well off the tourist track.
