What We Love

• Chittoor Kottaram is 35 kms from the airport, and 15 minutes from the railway station. It is 15 kms from the main city. You are taken to the palace via boat rides, which is how it was accessed in the ancient times as well.
• The palace has three bedrooms and can accommodate a maximum of 6 people. A master bedroom is flanked by two additional bedrooms. Each room has a bathroom, decorated royally.
• The concept of the palace renovation is to show the occupant that royalty does not necessarily have to be lavish. 
• In keeping with this, the design and aesthetics are minimalistic, with just a dash of luxury in between. 
• The occupants need to remain barefooted while in the palace, and no extra luxuries are offered.
• The food is traditional Kerala delicacies with a hint of older times, and is purely vegetarian.
