Renta de bungalows vacacionales en Ernakulam

I stayed in Mary’s place for over two weeks, just soaking up the people and activities of the area. Mary went out of her way to help me be comfortable and get to know the area. She and her son Paul drove me around and I met the priest of their church, plus a man who told me about a ceremony women would be doing at a nearby Hindu temple on the next full moon, which I felt honored to attend. This is the kind of location where you should stay more than a couple days, get to know the people, take walks and yell good morning at everyone, ride a bicycle around the back roads and get lost and end up in someone’s yard and they’ll all come out of their houses and try to talk with you. Friendly people abound—many seem shy at first, but they are all so genuine. Mary let me use an old bicycle, and I was out on it everyday because the traffic is light enough that I did not fear getting mowed down by a bus or big truck. They are there, but not like in a city.. Mary arranged an appointment with a palm reader who was fascinating, and I even took several Carnatic singing lessons from a beautiful young vocalist. But the very best was the family next door—Biji and Benny and their four beautiful children. Biji is an excellent chef, and if you ask, she might let you help her cook with her. The family invited me to participate in Christmas Eve activities of caroling and church-going, and eating with 40 other people. They were kind and generous and eager to see that the foreigner enjoyed her time there. I’m going back, at least that’s the plan, because it’s so easy to get attached to a place like this. Travelers may be interested to know that Mary, at least during my time there, works in Ernakulam but greets her guests when she can and assists them. She phoned me several times to make sure I was doing alright. The location is not noise-free—a main road is nearby and you can hear buses and trucks driving by during the day. But it is relatively quiet. WiFi was unpredictable during my visit, and seemed to be down more than it was up, but you’d probably rather be looking at birds over in the rice paddy. This was definitely more of an authentic Indian experience than I’ve had in many other places where I stayed for a couple nights and left.

We had a wonderful stay for 6 nights continuously. Everything is well operated by the host. Do not have to worry about water level, LPG and power failure. House has a solar power unit. AC units and all electronics equipments are working perfectly. The kitchen has complete facility to cook by ourselves (we cooked all our meals during our stay here). It is completely equipped with utensils, cutlery, crockery etc. They have a segregated kitchen waste management system for plastics and biodegradable waste. This location is easily findable for delivery boys and service providers. People around the house are supportive. Surroundings are very safe for a family to stay without any concerns. At the same time, house offers complete privacy too. Church, temple, mosque, grocery shop, meat/ vegetable market are within 3 kms from the house. The best part is that the host is very swift in replies and attending calls.

My uncle and his family had a wonderful stay at Basil's place. Basil cares about his guests and wants to ensure that they are comfortable, he is a good host and I would recommend this stay to others coming to Fort Kochi.

We had a lovely stay. We are so happy with the place and service. The home is beautiful and a nice haven from the city. The pool was so nice. The team there makes you feel right at home and so comfortable. The breakfast was delicious. We had everything we needed during our stay. The host also help us set up transportation to and from airport, a day tour, and gave wonderful recommendations. I would highly recommend this house and host to others.

This was one of the cleanest place i have visited in india so far, met many Maldives in same building who were really friendly. And house owner is super friendly..😊

Amazing place .
