We stepped in with a feeling of warmth and affection. The house and staff made us feel as if we belonged here. It is noteworthy to mention the retention of cultural beauty and architecture , most importantly, the room where I am writing this. The courtyard of green, the sun of red, and the pastel walls of the house are beautiful! The staff has been very available, extremely co...

We came here for our 2nd Wedding Anniversary and we chose this place for its heritage beauty. The room is lovely with beautiful settings and colours. We got the biggest room of all, the MADRAS SUITE, and wow like the name, the room was not just a room but felt like a home to us. The service by the people here, especially the manager Mahendran, was awesome. We had such a lovely...

Thank you for a very nice stay at this homely and very respectfully renovated and decorated temporary house. We enjoyed it a lot.

We had a wonderful stay in the Bombay Room! Thank you for your wonderful hospitality — especially the delicious breakfast!

Totally as expected as we know this house already! Wonderful, authentic & warm stay in Pondi. Super breakfast, kind & thoughtful staff :)

AMAZING STAFF, AMAZING PLACE, GREAT EXPERIENCE. THANKS TO ALL, HOPE TO COME BACK SOON.

We enjoyed our stay in Maison 26 Villa. Feels like being in a palace. Very nice decoration and service. Location is fantastic and quiet. I was in Pondicherry 15 years ago. It has improved a lot, now buildings and houses are better taken care of. It is more lively, with great shopping and food options.

Arriving from a dusty, tangled, overcrowded pilgrimage town to this hidden-away haven… Madam Kiran never ceases to surprise us all with her innovative flamboyant style. Thank you.

This was one of the best experiences we had at any hotel. We just spent 1 night here but the service was so heartwarming, we enjoyed thoroughly. Ambience is too good and peaceful. Breakfast is so delicious and pleasant! Looking forward to come again!

A beautiful and serene stay that will stay with us for long. We stayed here for a couple of days and couldn’t have expected anything more beautiful and calming than this place. A stay filled with greenery, authentic atmosphere, heritage and vintage vibe. We wanted to explore Pondicherry but actually ended up exploring more about the history of this place. The ground staff are a...

We had a fabulous stay in Pondicherry. The hotel is a beautiful, comfortable, delightful resting spot. The staff were super helpful in accommodating all our needs.

We spent 2 nights at this lovely hotel in our splendid room , loved climbing into bed! The location is great and breakfast is superb. Looking forward to coming back soon.

What a magnificent stay! Pondicherry is superb. The villa is full of charm and remarkably located, but even more so, the delicacy and kindness of the entire team, the gentleness and the warm welcome made these three days an unforgettable moment! We will return! Thank you!

Thank you for a wonderful experience! What a beautiful place — everywhere you look you find a gem to admire. The atmosphere was so special too, never to be forgotten. The staff was so lovely, kind and helpful. The local breakfast prepared by the cook was delicious. So glad we experienced staying here.

Superlatives abound. Here in Puducherry for research, so I have stayed in a few places in the area and this is easily the best overall. The staff are the top of the top of all. All the best and will definitely return.

I have been staying in South India since December 1, 2025, and this is the best I have slept since being here. The Bengal Room was pure magic, and I will miss the breakfast very much. I cannot wait to return.

What an experience! We loved our stay here! The home, friendly and courteous staff, and the greenery made this an ideal home away from home. I hope we can return soon! Mr. Mohideen, the house manager, was the best concierge we could hope for. He suggested, organised, and booked everything for us and made sure our stay was not just comfortable but also special. Mr. Syed was so h...

Right off the bat, Sudarshan & Sayed Anna’s smiles make you warm, followed by a feeling of awe in the central courtyard which feels like a Dali setup where the more I observe, the more I discover. Then Mahendra Anna’s warm tone and genuine intention to make you comfortable help you feel like you’ve always been a part. Maximalism done gracefully is what I felt as soon as I saw t...

All the staff is very sympathetic and Mahendran is very helpful. We really enjoyed our stay, even if it was too short.

Every corner is adorned with the most stunning and thoughtfully curated antique furniture, each piece adding to its unique charm and character. The attention to detail is impeccable.

The best part of our trip to Pondicherry was our stay at Maison 26. The Indo-Chine room we stayed in was out of an art book — like a dream. The entire villa is stunning and warm. The staff was super attentive. The breakfast was fresh, home-made and absolutely yumm. Highly recommend!! 5 stars

We had a great weekend at this charming property. We enjoyed every corner of this beautiful villa. The concierge service was the icing on the cake. We loved the food at Coromandel & the 'walk-in' privileges at coveted restaurants (& Coromandel) added to the feeling of being pampered.

Thank you for the lovely time!

Mahendran, Murugan, Siddique and Subba went out of their way to make us comfortable. The chef's delicacies were a cherry on top to our entire stay.

Very cosy and clean villa & rooms. Staff is extremely professional, very welcoming and very helpful.

We very much enjoyed our stay here at Maison 26, a beautiful home in Pondicherry. The staff were absolutely fantastic and most helpful. Would definitely recommend.

We enjoyed this very special stay in this mansion, decoration — all antique — everything amazing in this LuxUnlock private place. In Switzerland, where we come from (Zürich), you would not find such a place — thought it is also a place to visit.

We will remember our stay in Pondicherry.

Thanks for the wonderful stay! Property is intricately designed — so much attention to detail. Felt like home.

A beautiful location & heritage building. So lovingly restored and decorated.Wonderful staff to look after me! Thank you.

We had a pleasant stay, good location and great service by the entire team. We had our dog and the team helped prep his meals for which we are very grateful. Overall wonderful stay. Thank you :)

Absolutely wonderful staff. We loved our 3-day stay in the villa. The hospitality, food, location and the vintage decor of the villa is unmatched. We felt very safe and at home in the 3 days here.

On behalf of our small group of 6 buddies, I would like to show our appreciation of the hotel staff, especially their attention to detail during breakfast, which was sumptuous, tasty and valued. Thank you for your service.

We had a lovely stay at M26. The architecture, restoration & attention to detail is brilliant. It was very comfortable even for our fur baby. Definitely coming back.

The food at Coromandel Cafe was brilliant. The quality of produce served was fresh and great. Great ambience and the desserts were to die for.

Thank you for the beautiful villa experience. All amenities were also very good. The ambience of the entire villa is very nice, staff is very friendly & attentive. The Bengal Room in which we stayed was very beautiful.

We couldn’t have chosen a better accommodation than Maison 26 for one stay in Pondi. The location is excellent. The rooms are well appointed & very clean. The staff make the place + see to every need. They are always willing to help & go the extra mile to address all our needs. Special commendation to Siddique & Murugan for their service excellence. Thank you for a wonderful st...

We came in for a family getaway and we landed at the right place with Maison 26. The whole team has been supportive and the premises was very clean. The highlight was breakfast on both the days.

Amazing experience at this luxury stay. A big thank you to the whole team.

Came with a Dutch colleague and it work out really well for us. The rooms are thoughtfully arranged. For Europeans, the option of sleeping without AC maybe should be there (thinner bedsheets). For the rest, it was FANTASTIC, both in place & service.

Thank you for a lovely laid-back holiday in quaint settings. Your staff is warm, helpful and an asset to such a lovely property. Our kids loved the space.
