Excellent property truly retaining the authenticity of Chettinadu. The house was immaculate. The rooms very super big and airy. Food was served at different locations for every meal, giving a unique sense of ambience all the time. The food was excellent as well and had a personal touch by the chef and his team at every meal. The staff were extremely courteous and helpful, ready to help at any given time, with warm and welcoming smiles.

What a fantastic hotel! Beautiful building throughout. Lovely cool big rooms. Great swimming pool and grounds. The staff are so warm, friendly and very helpful. The food is superb. I took two early morning cycle rides with Shiva around the local villages and these were superb too - Shiva was a local expert and showed us some very interesting places. A relaxing stay in first rate heritage hotel.
