Tucked away in an unspoiled nook of a quiet Kerala village called Vambalathupadam, against a backdrop of rolling hills, surrounded by lush green paddy fields, The Home Stay is a haven of serenity and seclusion. The main house, a half century old edifice, and the home stay, nestle in a three and a half acre property which boasts of several exotic floras. A natural, fresh water pond (which local people call a 'kolam') teems with myriad fish and on lazy afternoons a dip in its cool waters will be both rejuvenating and refreshing. The Home Stay retains an old world charm in the presence of the family matriarch, who is a sprightly 95. A unique feature of the home stay is the heady mix of experiences it offers. This includes an opportunity to connect with the local milieu and participate in the simple, sedate pace of village life.
