We spent a couple of nights here at the end of our two month tour of India and it was just what we needed. Spotlessly clean, tastefully furnished, spacious room, with wonderful shower and balcony with sea views. It was easily one of the nicest places we stayed and we wouldn't hesitate to go back. One change since the original... more

We stayed at Villa Jacaranda over the christmas period for a few nights, first impressions: What a lovely Guesthouse. We had room four. The room was charming, really clean and airy, it was nice to eat breakfast on the patio overlooking the garden, so quiet and peaceful. Ajay has a wonderful place and brilliant staff. If anyone is planning to... more

We have just returned from a fabulous break at the Villa Jacaranda. The villa itself is a delight, immaculately clean and full of small surprises, daily fresh flowers and lovely linen for example. Breakfast is wonderful with a good choice. The private verandah areas for the individual rooms are just that, secluded and peaceful, overlooking the beautiful gardens and through... more

Having travelled to Varkala for for the fourth time, I finally found my piece of heaven. Villa Jacaranda is such a treat. Run by a small staff, Villa Jacarana is intimate, and stylish - so many personal touches. Fantastic service, lovely breakfasts (included). My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay here and can not wait to return. more

We stayed in the top room which has a huge terrace with views of the sea. We are both bird lovers and every... more

Villa Jacaranda is a great experience we stayed as a New Year Treat and we were not let down. Ajay is a great owner and gave us some good advice about Varkala when we arrived. The restaurant on the beach he advised was fantastic. I have read some of the reviews which obviously are missing the point about this place,... more

Villa Jacaranda was almost the last destination of our India stay - and what a pleasant surprise. Even expensive places in India frequently display more enthusiasm than competence, with glaring omissions and lapses... but so much care and attention has gone into the design of Villa Jacaranda and into every aspect of the daily experience, that it would be at... more

We arrived from the airport and relaxed immediately. Villa Jacaranda is a beautiful, quiet and elegant place to stay. The 4 rooms are spacious and elegant - cool breezes meant we had no need of AC or mosquito nets. We were incredibly well looked after by all the staff - great breakfasts served on our private terrace and anything else... more
