Vakathanam : locations de vacances

Another fantastic stay at Sara's Riverview! The house is spacious and beautifully done! A large courtyard surrounded by greenery! All amenities for a long stay are provided for. The host Saiju and his brother Biju are one of the best! We love frequenting this homestay!!!

Great option for international travelers! Sam provided additional details and tips regarding local restaurants and facilities. The onsite caretaker was helpful to get everything setup and ask questions. Amenities were solid - hot water in bathrooms and AC in all rooms. Thanks!

Great place to stay. Very well maintained.Food was exceptional. Responsive staff who took care of all our needs.

If I could give 10 stars I would! Ajay and Jenson looked after us exceptionally well. They were kind, patient, so respectful of our space and the food was absolutely stunning. The boat was so clean and comfortable - we felt so totally looked after and safe. And the journey and scenery was stunning. It really came down to these 2 lovely men who looked after me and my sister (we’re 55 and 60) with such kindness and respect, and humour. We really were blown away by the service they provided and hope that they get good recognition for their work!

Absolutely loved Vishnus place. Was quiet and peaceful and the location next to temple is amazing. Loved the sound of the chanting everyday. I had space to do my yoga on the roof at sunrise. The area is very sweet and free from tourists. I cycled everywhere - its all flat. Great little beaches, bought fish from the fish market on one beach. The kitchen has all you need. Theres a municipal swimming pool in the village. Local buses are brilliant to get around - bus stop at the mango tree opp temple. Went to cinemas in Cherthala, Kottayam and Kochin. Local train was great for Kochi. Cycled to different restaurants daily - Apsara was a favourite, had THE best parothas. Vishnu is such a lovely man. He was always there to ask anything, replied straight away to questions asked via whats app and we also treated ourselves to a pranic healing from him. AMAZING. I'd love to go back and am sure tge area will never change. Enjoy xxx

Peaceful stay.. perfect way for me to welcome 2025! Its a beautiful 2 bedroom space with a coomon room n spacious verandah towards the backside of the home. There is also backwaters behind the house which makes for perfect early mornings n evenings. The best time i spent was early mornings by the backwaters - could see flock of ducks pass by, locals taking boats going to their destinations, and the beautiful sunrise hitting the waters - just gorgeous! Jeffin was amazing - very responsive, helpful, and the complimentary breakfast provided was yummy Kerala style. Thank you for all the help during the stay. If you are looking for a serene place with calming vibes and gorgeous tropical climate then please book a stay.

Great place, owner is always keen to help. Serene, beautiful away from hustle bustle. Great place to relax.

Jason and his mother Daisy had been wonderful. Although Daisy is a quiet person she receives her guests with a great smile and there was a good interaction. Please ask if you need something. The place is not too far from boating and other places of interest like the Birds sanctuary etc...Everything went well during our stay. I recommend highly. Jayaraman

I had a lovely experience with Sebastian and Cecilia taking care of me as if I was one of their daughters. The room is big and pleasant. The location is incredible just 2 steps from Marari beach the long, Peaceful fisherman spot at walking distance from different shops or tuk tuks stop to cover cheaply longer distance if needed Among cafes and restaurants right on the beach, to eat with your feet in the sand, i would recommend the Louvre very tasty food, pleasant atmosphere and lovely service! By the beach you can also find fresh coconut prepared by a few smiley, friendly women as well as other local foods or snacks. This location thus is really brilliant! Perfect to relax and enjoy sunrise and sunset and a real experience of peaceful India. Every day Cecilia prepares amazing breakfasts delivered personally by Sebastian each morning! I would certainly recommend to have some delicious, typical dinner with them! Anything you need just ask Sebastian and he will find a way to help!
