Set in its own walled garden on the western shore of Vembanad Lake, this Italian-designed luxury villa offers accommodation as serene and exquisite as the views across the water – which is saying something.
Polished white marble and pieces of antique Tamil temple masonry have been combined to create the building, whose interiors feature the Malabar House chain’s trademark fusion of contemporary style and traditional Indian flair.Gourmet meals are served on chunky granite tables outdoors, and the pool is a cool haven under rustling palms.
Our opinion
A lovely boutique hotel oozing with stylish fittings and furniture set in beautiful gardens overlooking Vembanad Lake.
