I spent four wonderful days at Villa Jacaranda. The rooms were beautifully decorated, the garden was stunning, and the staff were friendly and attentive. Breakfasts on my private balcony were absolutely delicious. The location was close to the beach but far enough away from the busy North Cliffs area which seemed quite noisy. More

We have spent the last ten days at Jacaranda and enjoyed every minute of it. We were loathed to go home! Ajay and his team are wonderful. Nothing is too much trouble. Jacaranda is a stunning house, very clean, quiet (out of festival time!!!) and to sit on the veranda enjoying breakfast is the stuff dreams are made of. Jacaranda... More

Just returned from an extremely relaxing 2 week stay over New Year at Villa Jacaranda. A tranquil oasis away from it all. We were very well looked after by Ajay and his team, with thoughtful added bonuses of fresh crisp linen, a small fridge with icy water to combat the heat, fresh flowers in the rooms and a constant soundtrack...

We stayed here for 2 nights in February. The owner spent a lot of time welcoming us when we arrived and giving us information on things to see and do in Varkala. Our ground floor bedroom was spotlessly clean, airy and cool with our own private terrace where we ate breakfast. Lovely touches are everywhere, like an old Indian cooking... More

Ajay the host and his team have been very welcoming yet not intrusive, we received excellent customer service in a very professional way with no pressure just care. We had the garden room, which allowed us to enjoy the tropical garden, as outside the room we could sit in the sun lounges in the verandah. The rooms are layed out... More

I regret you had a bad experience with our booking procedure. It is precisely because the online payment system on our website does not reflect real-time availability that the following text has been inserted: "Please contact by email BEFORE making an Online Payment". Although the text is prominently displayed (no 'fine print' at all), it is understandable that sometimes this... More

Ajay was a fantastic host and his small team are really dedicated to making your stay special from the candle lit garden to the home baked bread and pineapple jam for breakfast. The villa is beautifully decorated and the rooms are bright and airy. I couldn't have wished for a more serene and peaceful place to stay surrounded by exotic... More

Of our three week stay in India this is the most comfortable and welcoming place we've stayed. The location on the south cliff is away from the thick of things on the north cliff. If you don't mind the steep climb back from the beach this is a perfect place. Food and hospitality wonderful! Homely touches like flowers, tea and... More
