Up to 5 LPA About Savista Savista is not a conventional hotel. It is a 100+ year-old Rajput haveli on a 12-acre organic farm outside Jaipur, with 13 rooms, each one different. Guests come for slow travel: farm-to-table food, yoga, block printing with master craftsmen, and our Ayurvedic cooking day with visits to Jaipur's vegetable and spice markets. Our guests include international travelers from Europe, the US and South Africa, and Indian families and professionals from Delhi, Gujarat and Jaipur. Savista has been featured in The Guardian, Condé Nast Traveler and Bon Appétit. We open for the monsoon and winter season and close from 1 April to mid-August. We are small on purpose, and we want a manager who knows every guest by name. What you will do Guests and service
• Run the day-to-day guest experience, from the first enquiry to the thank-you after check-out.
• Welcome every guest, know their plans and preferences, and solve problems on the spot.

• Coordinate with our yoga instructors and craftsmen so experiences run on time. Compliance and finance
