"As I stepped into Pardesa, I couldn't help but recall the wise words of Henry David Thoreau, 'Heaven is under our feet as well as over our heads.' And indeed, Pardesa was a slice of heaven on earth.
Initially, I was skeptical, but Aldo's warm welcome and Pracilila's gracious reception dispelled all doubts. The room, aptly named Karma, resonated with my belief in the power of deeds. As I entered, I felt a sense of calm wash over me, much like the soothing words of Lao Tzu, 'Nature does not hurry, yet everything is accomplished.'
The serene ambiance, punctuated by the sweet songs of birds and the gentle rustle of leaves, was a balm to my soul. The meditation area, with its soft water fountain and serene Buddha statue, was a haven of peace. As the great poet Rumi said, 'Raise your words, not your voice. It is rain that grows flowers, not thunder.'
Pracilila's warmth and hospitality were the icing on the cake. Her presence was a reminder that, 'The true essence of hospitality is not about grand gestures, but about the little things that make a guest feel welcome.' Aldo's punctuality and cheerful demeanor only added to the charm.
Pardesa's beauty lay not just in its elegant decor, a perfect blend of traditional Kerala and classic country style, but in the love and care that had gone into creating this haven. As I sat amidst the lush greenery, I felt the trees whispering their own secrets, their leaves rustling in gentle harmony. It was as if they were reminding me of the wise words of John Muir, 'In every walk with nature, one receives far more than he seeks.'
Pardesa, you have stolen my heart. I shall return, for as the saying goes, 'Home is where the heart is,' and Pardesa has become my...
Read moreWe had the most wonderful stay at Parudeesa and honestly, the name suits it perfectly — it felt like a little piece of heaven. From the moment we booked, the owner Jack and manager Priscilla kept in touch, checking in, reminding us about our stay, and making sure everything was smooth. That kind of personal attention is rare and really made us feel cared for even before we arrived.
The property itself is stunning — spacious, airy, and designed so thoughtfully. The terrace and balcony were our favorite spots, where we could all sit together, relax, and soak in the surroundings. We were a big family of 16, and there was more than enough space for everyone to be comfortable without ever feeling crowded.
A special mention to Priscilla — she was an absolute star. Warm, friendly, and always quick to help with anything we needed, no matter how big or small. Even when we arrived late, she made sure everything was ready and went out of her way to accommodate us with a smile. Her polite and genuine nature really added to the homely feel of the place.
What also touched us was how connected Jack remained throughout our stay, even though he’s based in Australia. He kept checking in, making sure we were happy and comfortable, which really shows how much he cares about his guests and the property.
All in all, Parudeesa gave us memories we’ll treasure as a family — laughter, late-night chats on the terrace, cozy corners to relax, and the warmth of truly caring hosts. Highly recommend this place for anyone looking for comfort, space, and that extra touch of hospitality that makes all...

My close friend and fellow citizen recently had his wedding at this place and he says “I felt like I was in Europe” -“Notre Dame Paris.“ Even though this place got all the great amenities. My friend says their hospitality was highly appreciated. My friend keep on saying “my wedding wasn’t a great experience without their assistance from picking up from airport, all wedding planning, shopping, photos,videos and finally arranging a spectacular wedding dinner with fireworks etc.” He says everyone would appreciate this magnificent place in the heart of the city. Parudeesa is a spotless, safe, homely place in the residential area of Cochin - Kerala, but within easy walking distance of both the Western and Eastern mixed high street called “Western Road”. Hot water 24/7, Wi-Fi 300mpbs, filtered water system, solar run electricity, colour coded waste management system, controlled water usage, the list goes on.
