We had found this place through TripAdvsior and were a lil apprehensive at staying at someone's home (never tried a homestay before), but were pleasantly surprised at the quality of stay. On arrival, we were promptly shown the room, which at the price we paid was a steal. A special mention about the property. The home was definitly one of... More

Our stay at Venice Castle began when Matthew rescued us from another homestay. He had previously informed us that, at the time of our scheduled stay with him, there would be a celebration at the temple adjacent to Venice Castle. He was worried that the noise would be disruptive and wanted us to feel free to cancel, which we did.... More

This was the perfect place for our one night stay in Alleppey. Great location: It is a short walk to several shops (look out for the banana crisp (chip) shops!), restaurants and the canals. It's also a short rickshaw ride to the very interesting RKK Memorial Museum (review to follow). The room: Our upstairs, AC and fan en suite room... More

Away from very busy and noisy Allepey at the end of a quiet lane in the midst of green, this very nice family run home. Upon our arrival we were wellcomed very hearty by Matias and his family. We could leave our luggage at VC as we left right away for a houseboat trip and took only one bag with... More

Matthew (the owner) was so helpful during our stay. I highly recommend this place because of his commitment to service - something we didn't always find in India. We had a houseboat booked but he warned us that there may be a workers strike looming on the day we had it booked. He spent about an hour out of his... More

We stayed at Venice Castle from 27.-30. January with our 8 yr. old daughter. Our upstairs room was very airy and had a wonderful view into the green trees. I don*t understand why Alleppy is compared to Venice, as the City is not really a beautiful spot. Loud, much traffic and especially after a long trip without AC coming from... More

Great place to stay and very efficiently run. Large comfortable rooms with/without aircon. Breakfast is included in the rate and there is free WiFi which was the best I've experienced in India. It was fast and always available which allowed us to Skype home without any problems. It's in the centre of the town close to the ferry and river... More

We arrive late at night off the train and had no prior knowledge of Venice Castle. We had just been given the phone number and had no idea what a gem we were about to stumble upon. Mathew is the perfect host. He rustled up some omlette and toast and we flet so at home in his beautiful house. Breakfast... More
