About the home
This ancestral house was built around 110 years back by Mr pooppally
Vavachen between 1892 - 1895.The Great grandfather of DR. Paul
Pooppally.
The cottages are around 200 years old , They are old wooden Kerala
houses that were bought and restructured. The home stands secluded
in a property of about 3 acres… with varieties of fruit yielding
trees and varieties of medicinal plants and herbs Hence home to more
than 30 species of birds in the season.
Traditional Kerala cuisine is prepared with much love and thought….a
huge variety of Kerala dishes with some vegetables picked from our
own backyard, and organically grown.
Life around the house We try our best to maintain a eco friendly
atmosphere and since pesticides are not used and ecology is
maintained, you might occasionally find a some living beings around
the home like ants , flies or occasionally a lizard or a spider
,they are a part of the ecology cycle we believe in not disturbing
the natural habitats and eco-cycle with pesticides. please don’t be
scared since they are harmless and non poisonous.
Situated on the banks of River Pamba, in Alleppey
(Alappuzha) district of Kerala, this house is built amidst very
eco-friendly and serene surroundings overlooking the backwaters of
Kuttanadu. An enchanting backwater destination, Alleppey offers
visitors many other leisure options like Boating and fishing
facilities. Holiday packages on the houseboats, traditional
Kettuvalloms, are an out-of-this-world experience at Alleppey.
It’s unique designs and ancient carvings stands as an epitome of
ancient times and there are rooms completely finished in wood which
is a unique feature in these modern times.
Most of the rooms here are wooden which stands as a reminder of the
bygone era and overlook the River Pampa. They provide you with an
atmosphere to relax! All the rooms come with exclusive bath rooms
and hot water connections. And in most of them you can view the star
lit sky even while in shower. Traditional Kerala food is served here
with a lot of variety everyday. Some of the traditional dishes like
Meen pollichathu, Kerala chicken curry, rost duck, aviyal, payasam,
puttu-kadala, appam stew, Egg roast etc are well appreciated with
all those who have visited us.
Fifteen minutes from the coastal town of Alleppey, can transport you
into a whole new world cris-crossed by narrow canals and winding
water ways. Located at a gentle bend of the slow flowing river
Pampa….on it’s lower waterfront at Nedumudy. This heritage home,
with its rich traditional architecture imbued with timeless charm
was raised over a hundred years ago.
For those en-famille, this is the place to enjoy the luxury of being
truly alone when time acquires a meditative quality determining
one's attitude to the day ahead. The structure is enveloped in
greenery and is sympathetic to its environs with a generous spread
of spice and herbal plants (nutmeg, cinnamon, pepper, clove,
cashewnut and coffee).
In the charming quietude of this home, you may laze away your
evening under the leafy canopy of a guava tree, which stands
sentinel in the amoeba shaped pool. You hear the rustle of the
leaves as the cool evening breeze plays with them-Muse enough for a
poet…Float, if you choose, on a bamboo raft in the encircling placid
waters of the pool from where you can watch the residual brilliance
illuminating the evening sky after sunset. It creates a relaxed
ambience that helps you to unwind.
The garden stretches into the beckoning River Pampa. The backyard is
a light- filled sitting area with an abundance of green, and
presents the appearance of a covered courtyard.. The mango tree
offers a magnificent bower over a fish pool beyond where you could
relax with a fishing rod.
