Fort Kochi Heritage Homestay

Fort Kochi 

Fort Kochi is a quaint little town that has an old world charm. The streets are lined up with old Dutch and Portuguese settlements and has a perfect blend of histories across different timelines. The essence of the place lies in its beautiful medley of cultures.  You will find a hint of Malayalee, Anglo-Indian and European flavors. The antique shops and the art cafes are a nice blend of tradition and the contemporary.

Spend a laid back day or two in Fort Kochi. Dig into the history, and walk around the beach and Chinese fishing nets. End the day with a classical dance performance.

The HomeStay

The home is situated at the heart of the Heritage Zone, Fort Kochi. The house was built during the Dutch rule, later renovated by the British into a rambling mansion, completed in Teak wood ambiance reflecting colonial rule and our chequered history. Presently there are two parts of the house. One is modern and the other is heritage. Modern is built on three levels around an inner courtyard. Every room opens in a colonial style common place. Heritage sectioned is kept as it was made centuries before. The rooms are spacious and complimented with teak wood floor and ceiling, attached bathrooms with running hot water, bath tubs and toiletries. Every room is air conditioned and has its own charm. A beautifully done common roof top garden is open for guests round the clock where you can read a book, listen to music or just relax.
