The best part about staying at Villa Prakriti is Meena and her food... I was on a honeymoon trip to Kerala and after reading lot of about Meena's cooking; I decided to stay at Villa Prakriti. I am glad that I stayed there. Meena is really an amazing hostess who makes you feel at home within no time. She not... More

Meena is a charming hostess who made me and my 19yr old son feel at home as soon as we arrived. She is an excellent cook and worked hard to prepare a variety of tasty local dishes for us to sample. Her cookery lesson was great fun and definitely worthwhile as we learnt lots of tips to try out back... More

Staying at Meena's wasn't quite what I expected although it's difficult to tell what a place is going to be like sometimes. The house itself is very interesting and has a lovely seating area with a central space with plants open to the elements where you can sit and read or use the free wi-fi. The bedroom was basic and...

The room is very nice and clean. Meena can cook very well and we had a nice dinner at the roof-terrace. Meena knows the aerea very... More

We (a couple) stayed two nights at Villa Prakriti. We were hiking / rafting at the national park all day, so we did not have time to enjoy the garden, the terrace and the flowers as we would have liked to do. I wish we could have stayed longer to spend time on the roof terrace and to learn some... More

It was so good we extended by an extra night! Being British I've eaten plenty of Indian food and thought I had a pretty good knowledge of the cuisine but Meena took this as a challenge and prepared less well known dishes for our family including the best paneer I have ever eaten and an amazing aubergine curry.
