This was a great escape from our city life with an easy drive from Madurai. The mansion is all it is billed. Incredible architecture, both heritage building and the entire village setting. You can book a bullock ride to explore the other Chettinadu buildings in the vicinity or to go to their spa. The multicourse genuine Chettinadu dinner was delicious... More

It's interesting to read reviews for Chettinadu Mansion, clearly it appeals to some people more than others and even those who like it do so for varying reasons. It's a wonderful heritage building that has been beautifully restored. The owner gave us a warm welcome and we found it an overall relaxing place to stay. The rooms and bathrooms are... More

The mansion is to be experienced. The area itself is quiet, however the people are as warm here as in the rest of the south, and I met and spoke to several of them. Mr. A. Chandramouli and his charming wife joined me after dinner for coffee and a chat. He is an interesting man who obviously is very proud... More

Stayed here for a night. We were welcomed by the owner who was quite friendly. He gave us some brief introduction about the mansion and his family, which I guess is quite common among the "Chettiars" to do so. The food was good, no doubt since it's Chettinad food. What had impressed me the most here was, when I had... More

A unique place to stay in a most unusual but interesting town. The manager is extremely friendly and helpful and is full of information on the history of the mansion and other houses in town. Only part of this property is in use as a hotel with the remainder still used as a family home. Even if you are not... More

Entrance to his mansion is through a huge marriage hall with black and white Italian marbles, copper plated celing from England and the pillars of shining black marbles. The giant portraits of the...

This is a very individual place to stay. We were welcomed by the owner and his son. They have restored the property to what seems very like original 1920's condition. The bedrooms are basic but comfortable and clean. They open onto veranda's overlooking an open courtyard. Dinner is served in this courtyard, which is open to the stars -makes for... More

As Ianp1 says, this is all about the destination, not the hotel. I am guessing from the photos that we had the same room as he did. The whole place is very clean, and although simple, a lot of thought has gone into doing it up. The décor in the room, whilst not to our taste, is pretty amazing –... More
