Pondicherry | 8-10 Guests | 4 Bedrooms | 4.5 Bathrooms
WHAT MAKES IT SPECIAL
Maison Twenty-Six is a 120-year-old fully restored private garden villa in the heart of the French Quarter of Pondicherry. This one-of-a-kind home was built by a prosperous Franco-Tamil family who made their name in Indo-China. You too can enjoy the same exclusive experience in this beautiful home for a celebration with friends, a large family reunion, or to just get away for a long weekend. Chill-out in one of the many lounging spaces with music, refreshments and lunch or have a chef whip up a meal served right in your villa. Maison Twenty-Six is the first private villa rental in Pondicherry, and a long time coming. Pondicherry’s French Quarter with its tree-lined rues, pastel shaded colonial homes, and cafes and shops is the ideal setting to have a private space like this to stay, a place to getaway to, when you want to retreat from the tourists, in the privacy of your own French villa. Use our expertise to plan a myriad of exclusively curated experiences in Pondicherry & Auroville.

Exteriors & Shared Spaces
Built on two levels, Maison Twenty-Six is set around a lush foliage filled courtyard with a central pillar of green trees, climbing tendrils, and tropical plants symbolising the Tree of Life, a theme that recurs in all the house’s four bedrooms. Winding slate pathways lead to, arguably, the central gathering point of the villa – the Courtyard Verandah.
