GRATITUDE Heritage
A charming home from home
Enjoy a wonderful homestay experience in the heart of Pondicherry’s French enclave, where the owners provide a warm welcome to guests.
GRATITUDE Heritage is a category two historical building thought to date back over 200 years. Since 2004, the current owners have lovingly restored the property, maintaining many of its original features and using traditional building methods to preserve the Madras roof terrace and the wide arches leading into the courtyard. A short drive away is the sister property, Kariappa House where there is a swimming pool available for guests of GRATITUDE to use.
Why we love GRATITUDE Heritage
-
Breakfast is served in the courtyard on a shared table with plenty of fresh bread and croissants from the local bakery
-
During the renovation, the owners involved Indian National Trust for Art and Cultural Heritage
-
The first series of The Real Marigold Hotel was filmed here
-
They use lemongrass oil instead of typical cleaning products, which gives a nice natural fragrance and keeps away mosquitoes
