St Stanislaus Villa is a Jesuit Villa in the Woods –  just 100 km from Mumbai & just 2 km from Lonavala station.  It consists of 3 charming bungalows with 28 rooms, a main hall, Conference room, dining room & kitchen. There’s also a Chapel to refresh your soul. The property has 7 acres of forested land with tall trees and bushes, birds chirping, swings, see-saws, park-sets, benches, hammocks and open spaces to walk, run, play or to just to reconnect.At the Family camps, there’s fun filled activity right through the day; or if you prefer just to relax & ‘chat with an old friend or make a new one; to pat a dog; to watch a spider build a web; to smile at a child; or to read from a good book’.  Since this is a Catholic Family Camp, there’s the daily Eucharist  in the morning & we pray the Rosary in the evening. And then of course there’s the sumptuous meals.  We’re sure your family will have a super time…… Yes! It is a ‘Little bit of Heaven!!!
