Emerald Isle | Heritage Resort/ Alleppey - Resort hotel in Alappuzha, Kuttanad Taluk - Alappuzha, India

I had the best days of my vacation in this homestay. The property is so beautiful, clean and well maintained. The surroundings are peaceful and stunning. Don't miss to cycle around, meet friendly people and see how the locals live. The staff goes above and beyond to make your stay feel special and meet your needs, they are lovely people. Also great massages and backwater tours are organized. Last but not least, the food is fresh and delicious. Don't think twice, do yourself a favor and go there!

Such a wonderful stay! Vinod and the team are excellent hosts and made our time so special. The food is some of the best we had during our whole time in Kerala and everyone went above and beyond to ensure we had an unforgettable stay. I'll be recommending to anyone coming to the area! The best!

Fabulous home-stay run by Vinod and his team. Warm and welcoming with fantastic food. We enjoyed walking, biking, yoga and massages during our short stay as well as a Shikara boat trip around the lakes and backwaters.

Our best stay in India! This is a beautiful, authentic heritage homestay with a lot of heart. It offers creative and contemporary room design within the structure of a heritage home which is over 150 years old and still owned by the same family. We loved our stay in the converted grain store! The hosts have over 20 years experience of welcoming guests to their home and it shows - the owner, Vinod, is clearly passionate about offering a really thoughtful Keralan homestay experience to his guests. The caretaker Sam, who also lives locally, is so kind and attentive and himself has been with the property for over 20 years and so has a wealth of knowledge about it. You really are getting the real heritage homestay experience here - not a corporate copy. The garden is truly a haven for relaxation - we spent a lot of time reading in hammocks that looked out over the paddy fields and we were astonished by the amount of bird life we saw. The garden is also full of fruit trees, spices and even a cacao tree! It was great to explore the local area on the bicycles provided - Vinod even helped us reach a remote toddy shop for a really authentic local experience - tasty (and spicy) seafood. The property feels remote and peaceful yet the hosts have an extensive list of activities they can arrange including boat tours, cooking classes and Ayurvedic treatments.

Sejour de 2 nuits dans cette maison d'hote familial situee le long de la rive , tres authentique et chargee d'histoire. Le service est impeccable, la nourriture excellente, l'accueil chaleureux . Des activites sont proposees : yoga, cours de cuisine, ballade en bateau dans les backwaters , bicyclettes a disposition. C'est une adresse que je recommande fortement

A gem in the heart of Kerala. This 150 year old home full of history located in nature is the perfect place to discover and enjoy the backwaters of Allepi. Run by two brothers, the hosts are incredibly kind and informative. Fun activities are offered such as cooking, boating, yoga and spa treatments. Rooms are comfortable with AC and full amenities (loved the outside shower). Food is delicious, home cooked meals with products from the garden. Couldn't be more pleased with our experience, recommended if your looking for a special moment with family or friends.

A beautiful property in a very peaceful environment. The family who owns it as well as their employees are very caring for their guest, they received us very nicely. The food was very good as well. I recommend this place.

Very nice place to stay. We had a delicious local dinner. Hosts were really welcoming. Everything was fantastic. 100% recommendation.
