"Thank you for the amazing experience. Two days of total time with family & friends." Devi Subramanian, 1 - 3 Mar. 2024
"Thank you for a magical experience! To be in nature, with dear friends and surrounded by beauty in each corner of this beautiful home has been pure heaven. With much appreciation, Deanna Kerrigan + Ajay Narayanan - Baltimore, USA.
Echo Deanna and Ajay's sentiments! It has been such a treat. The curated attention to detail, the wonderful, attentive staff and calm energy has been so special. Thanks, in particular, to Bharani!
Thank you, Uttara Bharath Kumar (Chennai), Inder Kumar, Jacob Chacko (Greece)." Inder Kumar, 23 - 25 Jan. 2024
"We had a very nice stay with friendly and attentive staff. Excellent meals, charming interiors — excellent for a cosy family gathering. A downside was nightly and lasting local music blaring from loudspeakers outside the house. A leaking toilet was fixed with considerable local manpower." Bernd Andersson, 28 Dec. 2023 - 1 Jan. 2024
"We had a great stay at this wonderful property. The style and decoration of the house is wonderful, making it a lovely place to stay. We appreciate great service and good food and enjoyed our stay as a larger family. The beach is also great. The only thing is some more hot water. Thank you." Sundaravathanen, 26 - 27 Dec. 2023
"My friends and I had a great time at En Vilasam. It was age-appropriate and we kind of relived our childhood times at our grandparents’ home. The house was like a museum, and each corner spoke for itself. All the more it happened to be my friend Gomathi’s home, which I was not aware of. Good service, friendly staff. Thanks a lot." Rama Srinivas, 20 - 21 Dec. 2023
"We had a truly amazing experience especially with our furry baby Baloo, who enjoyed the most running around this amazing property. The furniture, artworks, knickknacks carefully placed around the house are truly amazing and make every corner a unique experience.
The food was just what we needed and Baloo too enjoyed his meals.
Barani was a great host and caretaker. We will definitely visit again with the extended family.
Thank you, Isha, Nitin and Baloo." Nitin Bansal, 18 - 20 Dec. 2023
"Fabulous decor and hospitality at En Vilasam. The proximity to the beach and open layout of the home were the highlights. Food and service were thoughtful and well done.
The loud blaring noise/music from the temple was quite unbearable, though, and took away from the experience." Sathya Ravichandran Sriram, 25 - 26 Nov. 2023
"Travelling from Darien, CT USA, I did not have any expectations about my visit to this truly special home. I was immediately impressed by how we were welcomed and how Barani treated us. The food was delicious and superbly presented. The great rooms are beautifully appointed and comfortable. The privacy is priceless. Thank you for a relaxing and memorable stay. I look forward to visiting you with our family again." Suresh Krishnan, 6 - 8 Nov. 2023
"Hello all,
It was truly a magical experience staying here. I came here with my family and a friend from America. He considers this experience truly unforgettable. The cook, Bishnu, is a master and everything she put out was homey, tasty and a joy to eat. Bharani is a great host who cares about his guests. He was always there to make our stay peaceful, enjoyable and comfortable. I will now start recommending this place to my friends, family and a whole host of people who would visit from other countries.
Warm Regards,
R. Ramkumar,
Ramya,
Siddarth, & Samuel Waters.."

"The villa was stunning and beautifully done up! The curated experiences were well thought out. We have to especially thank the in house staff Bharani and Bishnu.. they understood our diet requirements well and catered to our taste buds. They were really accommodating and took care of us well! Had a lovely time!" Siddharth Reddy, May 2023.
"En Vilasam ''My Home'' is truly a home away from home. This lovely 3BR villa in a secluded part of the Coromandel Coast is an ideal getaway from Chennai where the only sound is the rushing of the wind in the palms and the pounding of the surf on the distant shore. It comes fully equipped with all modern amenities and a helpful efficient staff but still manages to preserve the old-world charm that its former owner intended. And her former calling as an antiques dealer is evident in every nook and cranny of this lovely dwelling with its ornamental fishpond and quiet garden. We had a wonderful 2 night stay here and were left wishing we had planned for more time!" Ranjan Pal, January 2023.
"En Vilasam was truly an abode of my dreams. Just the way I would imagine a home to be. Open, free-flowing, eclectic and wrapped around a calm water body. Open to air bathrooms, a treasure trove of artifacts and splashes of colour completed the experience. A fishing village within arm’s reach, the availability of water sports and an 18th century fort were the icing on the cake. Two days was just not enough to enjoy the place." Sundeep Kumar, January 2023.
