If you fancy a true luxury holiday, consider this real-life palace on Airbnb.

The suite in a 300-year-old property is available to book, and it even comes with a private butler.

Located in Jaipur in India, the palace is home to the region’s royal family but they are renting out a suite in one of the private sections.

It includes a lounge, kitchen, bathroom and private indoor swimming pool.

Apparently guests including Princess Diana and Oprah Winfrey have stayed there.

It does cost around £8,000 per night so it’s not exactly a budget option but it does look incredible if you have the cash.

All the proceeds from each booking go to the Princess Diya Kumari Foundation, a local nonprofit dedicated to supporting rural women and people of Rajasthan.

The stay includes a chauffeur-driven car from the airport and the private butler who can provide sightseeing recommendations, make travel arrangements and organise restaurant bookings for you.

You’ll also get a member of royal staff to escort you on a private shopping tour around the city.

Every day you will get breakfast and dinner at the in-house restaurant Baradari.

The description on the website says: ‘You can expect tailored menus featuring hearty Rajasthani dishes like laal maas, top shelf wine and champagne, as well as an interaction with the chef during these meals.’

There’s also a complimentary guided tour of the complex by a member of royal staff so you can learn all about the architecture, art and decor.
