About Varick Villa Homestay, Alleppey, India in Varickolil House, PRA 64, Pazhaveedu P.O, Alleppey

VARICK VILLA
We have three villas bounded by the four walls of boundary of the plot, with a big gate at the entrance. Since most of the members of the family are out of Kerala, we decided to use the spare capacity as homestays for the tourists. The facilities have been made such that they can be graded in the highest category, which is Diamond class, of the Kerala Promotion Council. We look forward to providing breakfast and dinner from our own dining table to show our feeling of appreciation to the guests.
Varick Villa homestay is located in Alleppey town itself. Alleppey, also known as Alappuzha is a popular tourism spot in Kerala. It is known for its picturesque canals, backwaters, beaches and lagoons.
