An erstwhile private residence of the rulers of Cochin, 300 years old Chittoor Kottaram is located about 20km from Fort Kochi. It lies at the edge of the backwaters, making it the perfect location to have access to sightseeing spots of Fort Kochi and yet be tucked away in the midst of nature. It gives the faraway feeling you need on a holiday, as you require a boat to get here.  The refurbished palace lies in the heart of nature’s abundance to reboot from a pacy itinerary. The property overlooks a small creek – ideal for you to forget about the city din and get into a holiday mood. It helps that there is a spa and swimming pool in-house to notch up the comfort and indulgence.

The fact that there are just 3 rooms amidst subtle luxury, means that you are never in the company of crowds. It is ideal to book as a personal property for a group, or know that it will deliver to its promise of intimacy and isolation. While your eyes feast on the stunning views of the watery backyard, there is enough for the palate to get excited as well. The focus on local cuisine with authentic flavours is a major plus for guests. The pool, spa and chance to unwind in a serene place are the biggest draw for the property.

Many guests like to stay here during the Kochi Biennale to have the best of both worlds. You can step out in the morning to go see the art galleries and installations in Fort Kochi, and be back comfortably in your cocoon. Choose Chittoor Kottaram for easy access to all the top highlights of Cochin and Fort Kochi and also bag a luxury and comfortable address.
