Chettinadu Mansion

I enjoyed the experience of staying at Chettinad Mansion, the huge (125+ room) turn of the century (20th, not 21st) home that now a 12 guest room boutique-y Chettinadu Mansion. The pace of life matches the ambiance, in that it feels like a time before technology and things like TV came to distract us every second. Definitely come to this Chettinadu Mansion to take long walks, have long talks and read a book in peace and quiet. Don't if you're looking for a resort like experience with activities and cable TV and non stop sightseeing. That said, they have fast and free WiFi. #win! The rooms are also old school, in that they are not plush, carpeted, TV equipped Chettinadu Mansion rooms, but all the basic necessities are in place. And everything is super clean, so no worries there. The service was exceptional throughout. From the moment we entered, they were exceptionally polite, friendly and effortlessly bilingual (Tamil and English). My only tiny quibble would be that the dinner wasn't entirely authentic, but then again, it was created to be as non offensive as possible for the (I'm certain) wide range of guests the Chettinadu Mansion has.

First it’s not a Chettinadu Mansion. It’s someone’s home converted into a stay. Please don’t look for rooms that are designed for comfort. It’s a large mansion half of which is still occupied by the original family that constructed it. There are rooms that are allotted for guest and specially converted to accommodate an attached toilet. However all that aside the stay was very comfortable for us. The room was comfortable and all that required for a comfortable stay. The food is excellent both breakfast and dinner. They make it according to taste and done quite well. The receptionist and the staff are very helpful guiding on activities and places to visit. Overall a good place to soak in a culture and tradition.

Clean rooms .. Professionally managed resort ... We enjoyed Chettinadu cuisine. Mr. Chandramouli, the owner of the house is always ready to share culture & history of the mansions .. We visited famous Lord Ganesha temple at Pillayarpatti, 10 t0 12km from Chettinadu mansion .. Also we visited Vairavanpatti Temple, a beautiful 500 year old temple with a magnificent overtired Rajagopuram. Lord Shiva here assumes the form of Bhairava and there is a shrine for the Goddess Ambika. This is one of the Ashta Bhairava Sthalams.

Lovely little mansion. The owners stay in the same property. It’s a lovely experience. Food- is authentic, but spread can be better for breakfast. The staff is very very friendly. But the need to be a little attentive during food service. Location is amazing. It’s a lovely village where you can see all the big mansions. Lovely courtyard in the house. It’s a small rooms - no ventilation really. But it forces you to come out and sit in the common walkway where chairs are kept for all to overlook the courtyard.

It's a heritage Mansion constructed between 1902 and 1912 (105 years ago) with more than 100 rooms, out of which 12 furnished with modern amenities and a common swimming pool. Staff are politely ready to serve you any time. Well maintained rooms. Chettinadu is an old well planned village with past glory. Food is awesome. Ethnic buffet? Food is costly in my view. Ala carte menu is available as a choice. Once in life, must visit.

Thoroughly enjoyed the stay at Chettinadu Mansion. They'd arranged for bullock cart ride within the village. Food was very delicious. Authentic Chettinadu food was served and food was very homely and traditional without too much masala. Staff were very courteous and friendly. Had an opportunity to meet Mr. Chandramouli the owner of this bungalow. He is extremely humble and down to earth. Overall very satisfied.

Hassle free booking with makemytrip! we were given very good rooms & the resort manager took personalised care for us. Very clean & well maintained place. Must visit for heritage tourism lovers. Food wasn't too great but a decent offering. Overall a fulfilling value for money experience. They should probably offer a wider menu & television in the rooms. An attached swimming pool would make it more comfortable

It was under the rock down for covid, no other guest, only me. But Chettinadu Mansion operated as normal, they provided me all meals as normal. ( some Chettinadu Mansion refused services although they accepted booking ) Chettinadu Mansion is classic, fantastic and beautiful design, it’a amazing. I saw a video which explains Chettinadu Mansion history, it was very good for understanding historical background.

I stayed along with my wife and

Very interesting place to stay and experience the havelis of chettinad. The staff is not well trained and that's a damper. However they are very friendly the food is decent, though not enough choices.

Nice place to hang around with your friends and family. Exterior and interior both look stunning. Food is average and too costly. Other than that excellent place to stay. Friendly and down to earth staffs. Service was nice. Today's world when compared to other star Chettinadu Mansions, this place gives you a different and peaceful stay.

Excellent old mansion approx 100 years. Good maintenance and excellent staff. Specially manager was always ready with a helping hand and a nice smile.

Room is not bad. But not worth for money. Too costly. Food is very expensive.

Amazing stay, carefully curated experience by the descendant of the Mansion. Experience worth cherishing for life.

It was a wonderful "stay n feel home" experience with amazing hospitality. Awesome front desk and staff. Great homely food! tradition and culture retained everywhere.

You were treated like a king.
Good time we spend.

Should experience the stay at this heritage stay. Which is more than 100 years old. Walking across the village of many heritage mansions is an experience of a lifetime.

Absolutely fine in all respects courteous staff, clean rooms, excellent service

Superb stay with family .. Feeling refreshed. The staff were very helpful and humble. Too silent place for a refreshing trip. The village where this is situated is a must experience place. The feeling was awesome.

Enjoyed our stay at this place. Had a great time talking to the owner of the mansion and the hospitality was at its peak.
