The peace and calm of the surroundings, the beautifully vintage house with artistic trinkets and decor, the amazing hospitality extended by Mrs. Nair and the biggest highlight was her food!! Every meal was unique and delicious and so satisfying!”

“Poothali had been on my list for almost 6 months! It truly felt like coming home. A beautiful homestay where every corner has been so thoughtfully designed, be it the elegant rooms or the open spaces and dining area upstairs. My most favourite part of the house was the sitting area on the first floor. Endless conversations over cups of chai and banana chips!”
