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.

Our first trip to Pondicherry and this hotel was a fabulous base to explore the town. The staff were so helpful especially Anil and the lovely Lupin who remembered exactly what we wanted for breakfast over our 4 days. The in room massage was a treat after a long day of walking. Note: if you are staying in Room 6 - top floor you will have to walk up spiral stairs which could be difficult for some Overall a wonderful stay!

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.

Feels like home, great ambience, amazing breakfast, kind people! Staff were highly professional and Anil was the best. Very pleased with the stay, the food menu could be expanded but mind that I’m a picky eater, rooms were clean, service was very quick. Would definitely come back! Overall 10/10

The property was amazingly beautiful , it felt like home. Anil at the property was of great help for helping us explore pondicherry. Also Hans helped us by arranging activities. The breakfast at the property was the best way to start a day. Hygiene of the rooms was great,

We stayed one night at La Villa, and the experience was exceptional. The staff were incredibly attentive and detail-oriented, addressing every request promptly and always ready to assist. Special mention to the waiter on duty Wednesday evening and Thursday morning, who was especially helpful and made our morning memorable. The hotel itself is stunning, and the breakfast was absolutely delicious. If you're visiting Pondicherry, La Villa is definitely worth considering.

Lovely stay and great service. The staff was courteous and very helpful. The food was very tasty and well presented. Spacious rooms. Location was also good and in walking distance to the Promenade. The check in and check out process was quick. Recommend this property.
