Aryavilla Heritage

We stayed here with our teenage daughters. We really enjoyed the homely feel and personal touches of this homestay. The hosts had excellent communication from the time we booked and were so friendly and helpful with everything we needed from booking a driver for us to get from Thekkady to Varkala, to breakfast, tuktuks, providing a cutting board, knife and plate for fruit we had bought - honestly, nothing was a bother. The room was comfortable with our own bathroom and private balcony and a kettle with cups, tea and coffee. There was a shared eating space with a water filter to fill up bottles, and we were able to use the fridge and kitchen facilities if needed. You are a 2 minute walk from all the restaurants and beach area. If you are looking for a chilled accommodation with a personal touch, we would recommend Aryavilla.

In a quiet location just 2 minutes walk from the busy tourist strip on the clifftop above the beach. Loads of restaurants and shops within easy walking distance. There was some sort of mix up with our booking so we were upgraded to an AC room which was nice as it was very hot! However that was only available for 2 nights so we had to move to the non-AC room which we had originally booked for the 3rd night. The AC room had a nice 1st floor private balcony, although the room was a bit small. The non-AC rooms are much larger with larger bathrooms and have small private terraces to sit outside. Despite the lack of AC the fans kept the room comfortably cool.

The staff was extremely nice and helpful. Spacious room. A pleasant sitting area outside the room to relax. A pleasant and welcoming atmosphere to the place. A cattle and cups in the room and a common fridge outside.

The villa is beautiful and well kept, and the room was comfortable. I loved being able to 'work from home' out on the balcony with the beautiful view. The property is very conveniently located next to the beach and strip of restaurants and shops. The staff were very accommodating and went the extra mile to take care of us, answering any questions we had. Thank you Mohammed and Suresh! We had a great time and can't wait to come back!

Location is a USP for the property...North cliff is only 50-60 meter's from the property and easily accessible.. All the major cafes are nearby from the property... We did not have our breakfast at the property but breakfast is available if you inform the owner one day before in evening. Property is neat and clean and host "Suresh" is very welcoming and also help us in planning our itinerary. Scooty is also available in the property for hiring purpose. Suresh has also helped in booking our taxi.
