Smoking-friendly holiday rentals in Puducherry

I had travelled with my family including an infant. This place just felt like home away from home. Nicely maintained & a responsive host. This would definitely be my first option for my next Pondy staycation!!

Nice stay, and the host was very communicative and helpful throughout. Would recommend

beautiful place to stay. very spacious place and couple friendly. Premises can accommodate 5 - 6 cars. Since the stay is inside the auroville, it will be always fun and pleasant to commute.

We were a group of 4 friends and had booked this place for 1 night. The place was extremely clean and neatly maintained. AC was a boon in this weather. It is centrally located and the major touristy spots are just 1-2 kms away. Siva even allowed us early check in. The check in and check out process was also very smooth. It is located on the main road so finding a parking spot can be slightly tricky. Overall, it was worth the money and the experience was great.

it was a nice stay at the apartment it feels like home and the view was excellent! nice seaview and very good location to stay

Joli appartement situé à 2 rues de l’ashram et du samadhi, dans un environnement plutôt calme ( pour Pondicherry). Victor est un hôte charmant et Sanath, en charge de l’accueil, est d’une infinie gentillesse, et d’une aide précieuse. Grâce à lui ce séjour a été parfait. Petit bémol concernant les appartements attenants dont les occupants ont fait beaucoup de bruit même la nuit. Cela a été vite réglé grâce à l’intervention de Sanath, mais c’est à savoir.

Our stay at The Coast - Ocean was wonderful. The rooms are spacious and designed for comfort. All the rooms, including the living room are on the top floor, so yes it did get hot but that wasn't a problem because the ACs were fantastically fast-cooling. The bathrooms are spacious and brightly lit. In fact, the entire property is devoid of any dingy corner. Checking in was smooth, thanks to Sushma, who was prompt, efficient, and accessible while respecting our privacy. While the comfort of the rooms may discourage you to step out, step out you must, because the beach, the iconic cafes and the restaurants are all so close! I'd definitely recommend this for a group of 4 to 6.

“Our stay at this beautiful homestay in the heart of the city was truly a wonderful experience. The location is perfect—right in the city center, making it easy to explore nearby attractions, restaurants, and shops. The home itself was clean, cozy, and well-maintained, providing a comfortable and relaxing atmosphere. Shubam was an exceptional host—always responsive, courteous, and ready to help with anything we needed. His warm hospitality made us feel right at home and added a personal touch to our stay. We truly appreciated his support throughout our visit. We highly recommend this homestay to anyone looking for a convenient and welcoming place to stay in the city!”

We rented the private hut space in the property and I must say, we felt home instantly! The Hut was so cozy and welcoming and it was exactly and more than what we expected. I wished that the ceiling of the first floor was even higher as we had to crawl every time we had to move. however, we got used to that too quite soon as it brought us all more together. We were allowed access to the common areas of the property. It is extremely well-maintained and it's heaven to be there. The kitchen had everything we needed and it's great we could cook ourselves, make ourselves some tea. Vignesh was a very kind and generous host. He showed us the other rooms which I'm looking forward to booking the next time I'm in Auroville. if you're looking for a place that's away from all the noise, amongst nature, economical, functional and feels at home, this is the place.

Had a nice and comfortable stay. Good privacy. Host was nice and supportive. Provided good inputs on local places of interest.

Amazing property, beautiful house and very spacious, not too far from good places to visit! Loved the stay, would highly recommend!

Property is at a great location. Surrounding is extremely busy. There is no car parking, you may have to park car on road side.

Rizas is an amazing host — warm, responsive, and thoughtful. The house is perfect for families, with all the comforts you’d want for a relaxed vacation. It’s conveniently located, with plenty of restaurants nearby and the charming French Colony just 1 km away, which made exploring the area super easy. The kitchen was well-equipped, making it great for those who enjoy cooking or just need a quick meal. Most of the main attractions are within close proximity, so getting around was a breeze. Highly recommend this stay for anyone visiting the area — it truly felt like a home away from home!

Very responsive and helpful host. Clean home which met our needs more than adequately. Due to our limited time and hectic schedule we could not spend time with the host family. We will definitely return in the cooler months and spend more time and explore the lovely city. Thank you guys!!

location is superb, very well contained place. some tea leaves and sugar would mk the place more than perfect.

Had a great 2-night stay — the place was clean, cozy, and exactly as described. The host was responsive and made check-in super easy. It is near to Rock beach and walkable to many good restaurants and French colony. Would definitely recommend for a comfortable visit!

really cooperative and helpful host. clear view to the sea. all zomato Swiggy delivery serve at the location. some electrical fixtures like balcony fan, sockets and kitchen light needs to be fixed. else really good.

The stay was incredibly cozy and felt just like home. It had all the amenities we needed, and the check-in process was seamless. Located in a peaceful residential area, it was just a 10-minute ride to all major attractions. Highly recommend!

I would recommend. It’s got all you need as a base to enjoy Pondy. Responsive host. All (minor) issues were sorted promptly. Cosy and comfortable place. Wish I had time to stay longer!

The stay was awesome.. cute place in the heart of auroville.. close to the famous food joints and the beach as well Would definitely recommend this bnb!

My stay at this luxurious 1BHK retreat in Auroville was nothing short of spectacular! The private swimming pool was a highlight, offering the perfect spot to cool off and soak in the serene surroundings. The modern interiors were stylish and impeccably clean, creating a cozy yet upscale vibe. The bedroom was a haven of comfort, and the living area was ideal for unwinding after a day of exploring. The complete privacy made it a dream getaway for my partner and me, and the tranquil setting truly lived up to its promise of exclusivity. The hosts were gracious and ensured every detail was perfect. I can’t recommend this stunning retreat enough for anyone seeking a peaceful, luxurious escape!

The place is exactly as shown in the descriptions. Spacious and clean, located at the heart of white town. Lot of good cafes, beach, ashram etc. accessible by a short walk

Great place to stay with your family. We had a great time. The team at La Ruelle was very responsive, making the entire check-in and out experience easy. The place is as the description suggests, close to the beach 🏖️ and right in the midst of White town. Felt right at 🏡! ✨
