Le Jardin Kothamangalam: Private Pool Villa in Kerala | SpotLet

Most travellers drive through Kothamangalam on their way to Munnar and don't stop. They miss a lot. The town sits where Ernakulam's plains meet the Western Ghats, close to the Periyar river, Thattekad bird sanctuary and the Bhoothathankettu forest. Le Jardin, now on SpotLet as a SpotLet-reviewed stay, makes a strong case for slowing down here.

Why Le Jardin Is a Standout Kerala Pool Villa

A private pool among the greenery

Le Jardin is built around its swimming pool. Kerala afternoons are humid, so a private pool in a quiet garden is the best way to spend them. No resort crowds and no timing restrictions, just your own group in the water.

More to do than most villas

Le Jardin is set up for active stays. There's a badminton court for friendly matches, and the host provides bicycles so you can ride through the surrounding countryside. Children and adults both have plenty to do between swims.

Evenings in the garden

As it gets dark, the garden and patio become the centre of the stay. Light the barbeque, gather in the gazebo or eat at the al fresco dining area. The grounds are well kept and green, which is what you want from a Kerala countryside stay.

Home comforts inside

Inside, the villa has air conditioning, high-speed Wi-Fi and power backup, plus a furnished living room with a TV and sofa. The kitchen is fully equipped, with a refrigerator, microwave, utensils and coffee-making facilities. There are hot water geysers and a washing machine, which helps on longer stays. The premises are secure throughout.

Exploring Around Kothamangalam

• Thattekad Bird Sanctuary (Salim Ali Bird Sanctuary) — one of Kerala's best-known birding spots, best visited early in the morning with a local guide
• Bhoothathankettu — a forest and dam area on the Periyar, with legends, trails and boating
• Inchathotty Hanging Bridge — a long suspension footbridge over the Periyar river
• Munnar — the tea hills are a scenic drive up the Western Ghats from Kothamangalam, which makes Le Jardin a natural first or last night on a Munnar trip

Cochin International Airport is the nearest airport. Confirm exact directions with the host when you book.
