Holiday houses in Anavilasam

We had an amazing stay at this place! After visiting Kumarakom, we booked this as a stopover on our drive back to Bangalore, and it turned out to be an excellent choice. The property is stunning, and our group of seven unanimously rated this stay better than our houseboat experience in Kumarakom. The caretaker, Titus, was exceptional—friendly, attentive, and ensured all our needs were met. While the food could use some improvement, it didn’t take away from our overall experience. We have no complaints and are already looking forward to visiting again!

For a nature lover like me, Joy’s place was just perfect! The house is surrounded by trees, making it peaceful and refreshing. It was spotless, well-maintained, and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. You get access to most of the villa, except for two locked rooms, but the space is more than sufficient and never felt restrictive. Uncle and Aunty live in the back portion, which was actually reassuring because they were always nearby if we needed anything. The kitchen was well equipped with all the necessary utensils and appliances. What truly made this stay special was their warmth and hospitality. Aunty’s food was amazing - she even made North Indian dishes just for us, which made us feel at home. And Uncle was incredibly kind. When I had a minor fall and needed a doctor, he immediately arranged for a checkup and made sure I was okay. Their kindness and generosity made this place more than just accommodation - it truly felt like home. Highly recommended!

amazing high-altitude location with stunning views. we saw beautiful sunsets from the backyard, beautiful sunrises from the front veranda, misty weather, and clouds drifting over the vagamon hills. the caretakers were kind and helpful, and the food was decent, though a bit low on salt. they gave us binoculars and we really enjoyed birdwatching and looking at the hills. the night sky looked good on the last night even with clouds and we even spotted some fireflies. there were some insects at night (unsurprising given the rain and the location). didn’t bother us much though, we were actually fascinated by the colourful ones. overall we had a nice relaxing time and would definitely love to visit again :)

Staying at this property was an experience we'll cherish forever. It’s not just a place to stay—it’s a feeling. Surrounded by lush greenery and fresh air, it brings you truly close to nature in the most beautiful way possible. The sound of birds in the morning, the cool breeze through the trees, and the peaceful environment made it the perfect escape from city life. Every moment here felt pure and grounding. The property itself is warm, inviting, and thoughtfully maintained. From the comfortable rooms to the tranquil surroundings, everything added to the charm. This place isn’t just a stay—it’s a memory in the making. Whether you’re a nature lover, a peace seeker, or simply someone looking to disconnect and unwind, this is the place to be. Highly recommended for anyone looking to reconnect with nature and themselves!

We stayed at Sunila's place for 1 day. She is a great host. The place was very clean and room was big and well-maintained. She cooked delicious food. Overall our stay was very good and we loved it!

Unforgettable experience! No words to describe the hospitality! The stay exceeded all our expectations. The host family is THE best. If you are a nature lover and enjoys human relationships, look no where! The 10 acres farm has good walking trail, small fish pond, coconut tree climbing gear, couple of swings, fresh fruits, hens, rabbits, all varieties of spice plantations, lots of birds, many kinds of trees. The host was super kind to offer everything available on the farm. Food cooked by Seeniya was so delicious! I am not writing about the exact experiences to save the surprise element! I fell little sick one afternoon and I can never forget the way Mr. Soji has helped in getting me to the nearest best hospital in his own car, stayed with me for 4 hours at the hospital and got me back home after I got better! Praising God for the opportunity to meet such a wonderful family! If you are planning to buy some spices, they offer at the best price, don't waste your money elsewhere!

You would never expect such a property in this location. The host, Surabhi, made us feel right at home, treating us like family. From check-in to check-out, she ensured that all our needs were met and kept us informed about what to expect. Our entire family enjoyed every moment of our stay. The only downside was that we could only stay for one day. We will definitely consider coming back here.
