Saratha Vilas Chettinad Palace - Hotel - Hotel in Kothamangalam - Sivaganga, India

experience magique dans un lieu hors du temps et hors du commun. Un grand merci a Bernard et Michel qui ont pris le temps de nous accueillir chaleureusement. Outre des chambres exceptionnelles le repas etait tout aussi exquis. J'espere pouvoir dans un proche avenir revenir afin de renouveler l'experience.

We had a wonderful stay at Saratha Vilas in Chettinad. Saratha Vilas has been beautifully restored which makes it a very pleasant hotel in the middle of the countryside of Tamil Nadu. We explored the different villages with the bicycles that the hotel lent us. The place also offers great massages, excellent food, nice swimming-pool, cooking classes, detailed historical context, etc... I would definitely recommend to stay there.

Amazing place - excellent customer service, good restaurant, spacious & well kept heritage rooms. They will provide detailed maps of the place and will go above and beyond to make the stay comfortable. I will definitely choose this place again.

The palace is exceptionally beautiful with the fine artistic work done on everything situated and located over there. The are lot of steps to climb if the room is interior and it might be difficult for elders

J'ai ete tres bien recue fin janvier 2023 dans ce lieu magnifiquement restaure par ses proprietaires, deux architectes francais. Le gout du detail est exquis, on y mange tres bien. C'est un lieu unique et sans aucun doute l'hebergement plus plus magnifique jamais rencontre ailleurs en Inde du Sud. Par ailleurs c'est un palais, dont la valeur historique est extremement interessante pour tout voyageur sensible a l'architecture et a l'histoire du Tamil Nadu. Agnes

Large rooms, tastefully furnished. Attentive service. Delicious food. The owners place great importance on being a part of the local community and infrastructure. A beautiful part of Tamil Nadu, and a great base from which either to explore the area or to relax for a few days. Price wise, it was in the 'treat' range for us but it also felt like good value.

We had a truly wonderful stay at Saratha Vilas, a historical Chettiar mansion tastefully renovated by the owners, 2 French architects. The atmosphere of the house, with its comfortable rooms, beautiful courtyard and hallways, perfect service and delicious food, is incredibly peaceful and relaxing. The sightseeing can be done by bike, which is a great way to experience this part of the Tamil Nadu countryside. The hosts have plenty of good recommendations of things to do and places to visit to make it all a perfect stay!

The perfect hotel really. Everything you want from a boutique hotel with amazing food on site. Can organise everything for you. The village it is in is stunning, near an amazing walk that makes you feel properly in the countryside. Staff were great too. All round great experience.
