La Villa

Wonderful stay at LA VILLA. The rooms, staff, pool couldn’t have better. The food was the best we had in Pondicherry. It’s a small boutique hotel with only six suites but this makes it special because you’re not tripping over other guests. We had the pool to ourselves most days. Would definitely recommend.

La Villa is a cute boutique hotel in the French quarters of Pondy. The service, staff, location, rooms and everything else that is expected of a hotel was top notch. The staff made all the difference, they were helpful with everything, recommending places to see and sorting our logistics. Anil, Hansa, Lupin, ***** with the girls who helped us with breakfast and dinners were flawless. We would definitely come back to La Villa!

Beautiful stay, cordial staff. Located in the heart of White Town, so the best places are near by. The staff is well trained and suggests the best places to visit and would also book you a reservation if asked. The sitting area on the around floor is lush green, great for having meals

The epitome of a luxury boutique hotel. Elegant and understated, and true to the heritage of Pondicherry. The suite (Southside Story) was beautifully appointed with a small private terrace. Anil, Hans and the entire team made my too-brief stay absolute perfection.

The staff were personable, attentive and willing to help. Managers (like Vijayaraj and Viknesh) were generous in sharing their knowledge about Pondicherry with us. We had dinner in-house and the food was delectable. The chef / kitchen obviously took great pride in putting out their offerings. I ordered a couple of items that were not on the menu (including lobster bisque) and it was awesome, filled with flavor. Location of La Villa is good, if you prefer to be in the heart of White Town (although the streets can be busy at times). As for the room (no. 1), the layout is not intuitive (this is an old, converted building with function forced to follow form). The power points could have been better placed. Parts of the doors and windows may not work smoothly but this did not detract from a comfortable stay. The pool is shallow and lacks length. It is more like a plunge pool +. La Villa has paid parking (about 80m away) but no quarters for drivers. The staff recommended a lodge about 2km away for our driver (and the driver complained that he had to put up with drunkards in that lodge).

We had an absolutely fantastic stay at La Villa Hotel in Puducherry, a beautifully restored French villa. From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed with warmth and hospitality. The rooms were charming, blending heritage with modern comfort, and the atmosphere was peaceful and relaxing. Our dinner at the hotel was exceptional, with every dish thoughtfully prepared and beautifully presented. A special mention goes to Viknesh, who took the time to ensure every aspect of our stay was perfect. His personalized care and attention to detail made us feel truly valued.
