Holiday rentals with a fireplace in South India

The place is perfect getaway from the hustle bustle of life providing ample space to relax, chill and enjoy the nature from close. The location is a private house and blessed with scenic Valley view. The property owner Mr Janak is a great host. The cook Alka prepares very delicious meals including typical Gujarati dishes. The caretaker Ankush is a great person, and always available for support during our stay. The place also provides opportunity for a good morning walk and or run without any traffic hinderance. The property is old but bed linen and baths are well maintained with hot water and cleanliness in and around. Eventually it was a great family time for us accommodating 10 people in one place. We had great fun in playing childhood games and run around the property.

Really nice place, the host is very friendly and hospitality. You can rent a bike here, It is very convenience for tourism.

I had a wonderful stay at The Rustic Vilaa in Goa! The villa perfectly blends comfort with a charming, earthy aesthetic that feels both cozy and luxurious. The location is peaceful yet close enough to explore popular beaches and local hotspots. The host was incredibly responsive and helpful throughout our stay. The private pool and outdoor space were highlights—perfect for relaxing with friends. Everything was clean, well-maintained, and exactly as shown in the photos. Highly recommend for a serene Goan getaway!

Room is clean and neat with super silent air conditioner, wardrobe with locker and cloth hangers, bedside tables, dressing table, spongy bed with multiple pillows and extra bed in case required. Washroom is clean with hot water and other amenities. Kitchen equipped with all appliances and essential consumables, compact dining arrangement. Inverter & ironing facility also available. Near to Bakel fort and beaches. Thrikkannapuram Thriambakeswara temple. On the bank of Bakel river. Cultivated coconut, arecanut & other fruit plant. An upcoming farm is a good view. Complementary breakfast is served, lunch & dinner to be managed by the guests. Nearby restaurant contacts are made available at the villa. Hospitality is fantastic throughout the stay and reachable over phone at any time for any assistance.

The place was excellent and we loved our stay. The hosts were both responsive and helpful. They went out of their way to make dinner for us even though it was late. They recommended places to visit and made awesome breakfast. The place itself is huge and well done. We enjoyed our stay and totally recommend you book it for your getaway.

Skyfall Elysium was exactly the kind of place that we were looking for ! Short escape from the city located in the lush green scenery and amidst tea plantation. The placed matched exactly as described by the host. The view from the glass walls are unmatched and top-notched. Caretaker Mohan was very helpful and responsive throughout our stay. During monsoon there can be powercuts in the area, however the property is equipped with power backup. We faced slight issues due to the powercut but these are unforeseen situations and are not in anyone’s hand ! I can definitely count this property for my 2nd visit to Ooty if planned in future !

Beautiful home! Comfortable stay at a friends place. that's the feeling I carried at the checkout. host family was extremely polite , helpful and simple. beautiful surroundings of coffee plantation and biodiversity made it a perfect relaxing vacation. will come again

Sampan's place is beautiful. It's tucked away in a quiet corner and all you can hear are the birds! They're both wonderful hosts and seem to know what you might need by sheer intuition! Don't miss Som's Getaway when you're in beautiful Kodagu, the land of hospitality!

Great location, spacious apartment, rooftop pool pool overlooking the sea view and gym. Apartment is fitted with all the necessary utilities. There are no interruptions with light — there is a generator. Great fast wifi.

We stayed 5 nights at Cecilia Cottage and did not want to leave once our time was up. A beautiful and peaceful apartment that felt homely right away. The host sharmini went above for all our requests and made our stay very special. I can’t wait to visit again. Thank you very much for everything!

Great and clean stay!! Loved the view..

Easily accessible property, nestled with Golf course greenery. The host Mr Jeet is super responsive and we had a blast during out stay. The clubhouse had enough activities and restuarants that made us not even wanna venture out. The balcony had great view Pimpri city and the MCA stadium.

Mary was helpful with questions and requests. Very nice apartment. Main bedroom was large with large en-suite and changing area. Great location. Helpful reception and security staff.

One of the most aesthetically pleasing places you could rent in the beautiful town of Pondicherry. The co-host Mr. Kuharaj was gem to deal with. It’s right in the centre of the town and is walkable to all the attractions. The only drawback was the unavailability of car parking. As the property is located in a bustling commercial Street, parking your car close to the stay is a problem. Overall had a wonderful stay at Casa Mel.

Nice and confortable stay!!

Sagar is a very good and responsive host also the way he had mentioned the small details about the switches in the apartment is so good 💯 really love the place and was very helpful throughout the stay Thankyou sagar for making me belive that good people with such good heart still exist

This place is excellent for those looking out for a sundowner experience, a villa on a hillock. the interiors were beautiful. You need to connect with the caretaker at least two days in advance if you have any specific food requirements as this place is far from the market area. The villa exterior looks very old , I think for the price paid this should be taken care of. we loved the gazebo area which is the best place just to sit and lie down on the charpai (beadstead/cot) , and enjoy the sea breeze in the afternoon, followed by sunset. The caretaker was very good and ensured amazing food service, simple, yet very tasty, they gave us both konkan and Rajasthani cuisine. Overall a great place with minor things to be taken care of by the host.

We really enjoyed our stay here. We were 13 people and occupied the entire villa. Every mentioned amenities are accurate. Rooms are very spacious. Interiors attract the most. Maintained well and extremely clean. Host is very responsive and helped with smooth checkin and check out. Caretaker was very helpful and was available whenever we needed something. Pictures doesn't justify the beauty of the villa, it's more beautiful in real and very well maintained.

If you forget to close the windows at night, the thick mountain fog will creep in like a ghost — and by morning, you might not even see the person sleeping beside you. The mist swallows everything, turning the room into a cloud — beautiful!! Tucked away in nature, this serene villa offered a peaceful escape with panoramic views, perfect for unwinding and recharging. Wake up to birdsong, sip coffee and enjoy the gentle stillness all around. It's a space made for true relaxation. Ideal for couples or family and friends, seeking quiet, beauty, and uninterrupted peace. It's slightly off the beaten path and away from the hustle and bustle — but that’s part of the charm. The kind of place you'll want to return to again.

The place was amazing, has a lot of open space, as well as a great sunset view

Our family of 4 + 2 dogs spent a night and we had a great experience. The house was beautiful and well equipped (the pictures don’t do justice to the place), had pretty good bathrooms, with fantastic surroundings, lots of open space, lots of inside and outside seating (the wooden platform with the comfortable chairs was especially nice) and had good privacy as the caretaker’s outhouse is down the lane. The approach roads were pretty good (we came here in a low ground clearance sedan) and the WiFi, while not terribly fast, did the job adequately. Shikha was proactive in reaching out and quite responsive when we had questions. The caretaker family was reasonably friendly and took care of everything we needed politely and provided some pretty good homely food. We all had a peaceful, calming and really enjoyable family time. The dogs especially enjoyed exploring the property, the walks in the open spaces around and getting to meet ‘Bhoora’, the caretakers’ dog. We’d love to come back!

Entire villa with 3 spacious bed rooms and a huge hall cum dining. Care taker couple, Bala and Shanthi were great with very tasty food. TV with wifi and parking space makes it value for money. Few minor drawbacks are - need a car as away from centre of ooty and no good public transport, Room heater is available only on rent and no power backup. Overall excellent holiday villa for family.

One of the best stays I’hv had in a while! Mr. Silva and his team are the sweetest. Never ever did I hear the word NO from them in the 2 days we stayed at the Brockenhurst Bungalow! The food they prepared was made with so much of effort and love. The heritage vibe of this bungalow is unmatched! We had an early departure at 6am. The chef made sure we had our breakfast handy with a smile!😀 The views are amazing, the fireplace is soothing. If you want to learn hospitality then staying here is a must! :) 10/10 recommendation if you’re visiting Nuwara Eliya

The property stood out as shown in the pictures. Food was delicious. Had a pleasant stay. Suggested some maintenance improvements and understood from Sayed that the property will undergo renovation shortly. Will look forward to book again. Cheers!!
