We have just returned from our 10 day holiday in Cochin staying at La Dame Rouge. We chose this Homestay from it's excellent reviews. We weren't disappointed. Marco and his family made us feel very welcome and nothing was too much trouble for them. We stayed in the very spacious suite with large bedroom, lounge, shower room and private massage... More

Stayed here in December on a short holiday. We were there for 3 nights. Very very personalized service and a great hotel. Guess because it's a small hotel it becomes easy to offer personalized service. Meals were very good, the chef took personal interest. The rooms are nice, individually and tastefully furninshed. Was a good break from hectic schedule of... More

The cook served great food and he always asked what we wanted to eat.The house is very special and individually decorated. The suite... More

6 days rest and peace before a busy business trip. Great time, good food, ideal accommodation no problem doing just what you want. Excellent organisation from Marco including sorting me out with an Indian SIM card, nothing was too much trouble.

Marco welcomed us into our bi-level gorgeously made-up suite early in the morning (after an overnight bus trip from Mysore), let us sleep off the morning and offered us fantastic breakfasts and dinners and helped us to plan...

The master of the place, Marco, is also the soul of the house. He is very welcoming and will do whatever is possible to... More

I don't think a simple review will do justice. I arrived on my birthday with my partner and we were graciously welcomed with an aperitif. I've never felt more spoiled and welcome on a birthday before. The suite was immaculate, tastefully decorated, and was just exactly what we were hoping for. The house is just outside the hustle and bustle... More

It’s taken me too long to write this review, why? Well when you’ve have one of the best fortnight of your life you really want to take the time to tell other people about it. My wife Rachel heard about La Dame Rouge last year from close friends, I’d been to India several times before but Rachel hadn’t, she made... More

What a wonderful experience! A sophisticated, warm hearted, discrete but caring host; an amazing suite of rooms decorated with taste and love; Indian cuisine - quality products cook Indian style with a French twist - proper fusion as you would find in Paris or London (just better); an amazing team of staff - well trained but treated as equals and...
