We had a wonderful stay at the property which was fantastic. The property is lovely and the staff brilliant. Thank you to Meena and Jagath for their excellent hosting skills. Nothing was too much trouble. Nickel is a fantastic Chef who can prepare literally any meal you could care for to an excellent standard. The housekeeping ladies did an excellent job of keeping the rooms and property maintained and clean snd the gardener who kept the gardens beautiful. The pool was enormous and kept very clean by Jagath. A lot better than many European properties we have stayed at. All in all a great holiday and we will be back!

We had the most amazing holiday here. Beautiful and extremely well managed property. All staff were courteous, super efficient and friendly. Gorgeous food too! Swimming pool extremely clean and child friendly. Better than any five star experience I've had. Will certainly be recommending to family and friends and hope to visit again sometime.

After two weeks of hustle and bustle in Kerala, this extraordinary home fell nothing short of an opulent oasis. The design of the home is truly spectacular with its open and expansive entrance onto the pool (a constant invitation); the building's unique contrast of concrete and chestnut wood; and its charming ornamental antiques. Altogether the home blends southern India, its warmth and tropical surroundings, with sleek contemporary architecture and elegance. The most memorable part of our stay would have to be watching the hundreds of fishing boats twinkle on the sea at night. The view of the ocean was hard to take eyes away from at any point during the day - especially sunset when gathering for a delicious meal by the pool. From the start to the end of our stay the food we ate eclipsed all other meals we had eaten on our three week journey through India. The chef is highly talented, accommodating and diverse in his cooking (providing western food or traditional Indian as desired). For breakfast he kindly prepared our favourite local dish which was appams (local rice pancake), coconut chutney and dahl, alongside a pot of masala chai and fresh fruit. Another favourite dish was his spicy tandoori paneer which he made especially for the vegetarians at the table. Needless to say, we felt like royalty when we sat down for every meal. Finally our stay would not have been the same without the special Meena. She made us feel at ease from the moment we stepped out of the car and insisted on helping us with our heavy bags. It was such a pleasure getting to know her and hear about the cultural festivities taking place nearby and within wider India. I am already daydreaming about my return to this special place with more friends and family. There is truly no other place like it.

We are several families with children travelling together. Our criterias must match all ages. This is spot on. The house and pool are better than in pictures. Meena and Jagath with staff are the best hosts. Cooking is exellent for everyone. Incl kids.Surroundings: you have the real Kerala just outside the gate. Shorter strolls no problem. Otherwise Jagath will drive you

We had the most wonderful holiday at the Villa and already hope that one day we can return. The Villa is  even more impressive than it looks online, the view is stunning and there so much space. The pool was the most enormous private pool I  have ever seen and many hours were spent using this fantastic facility by the whole family. Ten of us stayed, 3 generations of family including four children aged 4, 6,7 and 9.   We  were very warmly welcomed by Meena, Jagath and all the staff. All the meals were beautifully cooked, well thought out and always fresh. One benefit for us was that the  children enjoyed the freedom and space within the house and gardens and felt very relaxed from the minute they arrived.   When we managed to drag ourselves away from the villa Jagath took us to two 2 different beaches in Kovalam .   The waves at Lighthouse Beach were lots of fun to play in and the children learnt to snorkel at a calmer bay nearby where you could also go diving. We also did a couple of tours, one to the elephant sanctuary and one on inland waterways. Neither trip was disappointing and we saw plenty of wildlife including a couple of fish eagles and best of all some baby elephants. We fell in love with India and Kerala, the people and the culture and would encourage anyone to experience this stunning area. We could not fault the staff or the villa and would highly recommend this to any family considering a very relaxing break away.

3 families with children from ages 2 to 13, we had a wonderful time. location is good, villa is beautiful, swimming pool is amazing, the service was great. Meena and the team where brilliant, on hand for everything we needed. We recommended for a luxurious break with the family.
