Romantic hideaway w/ Pvt Pool, Alleppey

Sunsets & Palm Trees The over-an-acre property abuts the quiet backwaters of river Pampa, a place endowed with incredible natural beauty. Hardwood furniture, hurricane lamps, palm leaf ceilings, Malabar tiled roofs and other subtle details would take you back in time to a bygone era when life was much more peaceful. The _al fresco_ dining area on the edge of the river adds to the exhilarating tropical charm. The space The private corner cottage has attached plunge pool surrounded by lush tropical garden and bamboo fencing. The room is equipped with modern creature comforts and accented with _retro_ and _eco_ ambience. The bed is super comfy with 8 inch mattress and 400 thread count bed linen. The room has a bohemian eco-chic vibe with earthy fabrics in natural tones; a cacophony of rugs, throws and pillows. The ensuite is partial covered, however the shower is open to sky with tropical plants and a coconut tree or a starry sky overhead depending on the time of day you decide to shower :). Guest access Guests can access most areas on the property barring the main house or cottages that are assigned to other guests.

Other things to note Other stuff ...you may be looking for answers to.

COMMON AREAS Whilst your cottage has an option to 'dine in' in your own garden or there is a fair amount of space around the property, most wander towards the gazebo with its sheer curtains fluttering in the breeze or dine in the _al_fresco_ dining area on the edge of the river. Tip: the fish in the river do enjoy little pieces of left over egg from your plate. My favourite spot happens to be a discarded bench that I have placed on the rivers edge, a great place to sit and stare down river with a cup of tea or choice of poison and a fag (smoking is injurious to health) POWER ( Electricity) The village usually has a good run with power with rare interruptions. On occassion(s) we do have an interruption for which we have a back up generator that will power the air conditioning, lights and fans and your hot water supply. KAYAK RENTAL Kayaks rentals are charged at Rs 300 upto per hour per head.
