Two French architects, Tina Trigala and Yves Lesprit, harmoniously extended La Villa’s colonial facades, creating an interplay with horizons of white walls. The spacious and cool rooms are veiled in precious fabrics and furnished with contemporary designs made from old wood. A custom-made swimming pool borders the shady, lush garden. Here is an elegant interplay of influences and eras, just as you’d find in old Pondicherry which is visible just a few steps away at Villa Shanti, the sister hotel that springs from the same inspiration.

We spent a wonderful week staying at La Villa and can highly recommend it as a base in Pondicherry. The beautiful building was in a great location, with the restaurant set in a lovely garden, and huge, comfortable rooms as well as a pool area that was perfect for relaxation time. The staff were all excellent, especially the friendly, efficient Anil on reception and delightful Naphisha serving us at breakfast, along with Kit making very helpful suggestions around what to do in Pondicherry. This is a special place to stay in this fascinating city.
