We are a small, close-knit family—my husband Antony, our two sons Samuel and Thomson, and myself. For the past 20 years, I’ve had the pleasure of welcoming guests into our home. I find immense joy in meeting new people and learning about their cultures and traditions. My family and I love connecting with travelers from all walks of life. I am passionate about cooking, and I take great pride in preparing delicious, home-cooked meals for our guests. In fact, we even offer cooking classes for those interested in learning some of our favorite recipes. Our son Thomson is a talented Indian classical singer, and guests can often enjoy his soothing music during their stay, adding a special touch to the experience. This is a little about my sweet family, and we look forward to sharing our home and hospitality with you.

Fort Kochi is a historic town that beautifully blends the rich cultural influences of India, the Dutch, French, British, Portuguese, Chinese, and Jewish communities. Located in Kerala, Fort Kochi forms part of Cochin, the state’s prime tourist destination, which also includes the modern district of Ernakulam and the older peninsular areas of Fort Kochi and Mattancherry. While Ernakulam offers the modern conveniences of shops, restaurants, and urban life, Fort Kochi stands as a captivating reminder of the city’s colonial past, with its Portuguese churches and atmospheric old mansions. Among its many landmarks is St. Francis Church, the final resting place of Vasco da Gama, a key figure in Kerala's colonial history. This church is believed to be the first European-built church in India. The iconic Chinese fishing nets along the shoreline add to the charm of the area, while the cobbled streets, ancient trees, bustling fish markets, and vibrant ice cream stalls make it a favorite gathering spot for both locals and tourists. Just nearby is Mattancherry, home to the historic Jew Town, where visitors can wander through atmospheric streets filled with spice markets and handicraft shops, offering a glimpse into the region’s rich cultural heritage.
