Being considered very expensive property with classic vintage look, every small work that is helped is expected for gratuity (tip). Even a Rs 500 tip is sometimes considered quite low.

A real gem. The mix between luxury and the Chettinad style just works beautifully. The rooms are comfortable and spacious, and the staff made us feel like royalty. Take a detour if you need to, in order to experience this place. My only regret is that I forgot my swimsuit, and the pool itself was stunning.

Truly wonderful stay
This is a beautifully restored old home and it was an absolutely lovely experience staying there. In fact, my husband and I liked it so much, we flew in our families to join us as well. The entire property is has been restored with such innovativeness and stays true to the heritage of the place. The staff were phenomenal and friendly and made us feel entirely at home. The food was marvellous as well.

The most memorable stay in a while
The property is an absolutely lovely old house which has been restored with great care and innovation. I say house, but it has over 68 rooms and the building alone covers an acre of land. Apart the stunning interiors, what truly made the stay memorable was the staff and the way they made us feel at home. My husband and I liked the place so much, we flew in our families to stay as well. The food was some of the best authentic chettinad cuisine I have had.
