Description

Padikkal Residence exists to justify the qualification attributed to Kerala as 'God's Own Country'. Situated in Fort Cochin, the historic town on the west coast, Padikkal Residence offers 10 rooms - 8 with double beds, 1 air conditioned and 1 large suite.

Staying in the same building, the Padikkal family extends the legendary hospitality for which India is famous from ancient times - be that be the accommodation, the food or the courtesy extended.

The interaction with the Padikkal family offers you an enviable opportunity to learn and experience the traditional values and culture of this coastal town. Arrangements are in place to offer you the local cuisine - for breakfast, lunch or supper. You can ask for a wholesome vegetarian menu, if you so prefer. Or the delicious seafood preparations. Or the famous pork vinthaloo.

And if you want to learn the mystery behind these mouth-watering dishes, the ladies of the Padikkal family will gladly enlighten you.

Historical landmarks like the St Francis Cathedral where Vasco Da Gama was first buried, the famous Chinese fishing nets, the Santa Cruz Basilica, the Jewish Synagogue, the Dutch Palace and Jew Town famous for the spice trade are all within a radius of a few kilometres.

Not fortgetting the age we live in, a broad-band internet connection is available 24 hours.

Check out time: 1000 hours.

Assistance is provided for onward reservations, sight-seeing trips, boat cruises and trekking expeditions.
