After stumbling across the Pimenta's website accidently whilst on our holiday in Kerela we decided it might be a nice place to chill out for a couple of days before we headed back to London. It turned out our prediction was correct and we had a fantastic time. Jacob was a perfect host and kept us entertained with trips to... more

It has taken us some time to get round to writing a review but with such wonderful memories, hardly a day goes by without we think of some aspect of our stay at Pimenta. We were more than delighted by the chalets which were well appointed and Jacob and his family worked hard to make everyone feel welcome and valued.... more

We just got back from a week's cooking holiday at the Pimenta and had a wonderful time. The bungalow was great, the food wonderful and Jacob took care of us really well. We also really liked the tour of the farm with Jacob's son - it was really amazing how many different things they grow there - from coffee beans... more

Our bungalow was tastefully furnished with colorful... more

Haritha Farms had the loveliest, most well thought-out accommodations and the finest food of any place we stayed in four weeks of travel throughout Southern India. Our one mistake was in having booked ourselves into only two nights here, instead of more! This is a bio-diverse farm in the foothills of the western Ghats, with four superbly designed and constructed... more

We arrived at Haritha Farms after a harrowing week of awful accommodations in Goa - and we almost cried when we saw how glorious it all was! The property has four newly fitted, comfortable bungalows for absolute peace, quiet, and privacy. The bathroom fixtures are all brand new (a total luxury in India) and the room was lovely, well decorated... more

For those of you who have India in their itineraries, here's a special place that's off the beaten track, but well-worthwhile visiting............Haritha Farms, The Pimenta, is an organic farm about 1.5 hours east of Kochin, in the rolling hills of Kerala. It's a very small place--7 bungalows set in an unbelievably peaceful rainforest-type setting, a self-sustaining spice/coffee/tea farm that's run... more
