LOCAL EXPERIENCES

Slice of Life Tour

The colonial past of Puducherry is hard to miss even by the casual walker. The Portuguese have been here, so have the Dutch, the Danes and the English. By the 18th century, this tiny fishing village had turned into a grand port city.

Maison Twenty-Six

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

Maison Twenty-Six is in the heart of the French Quarter of Pondicherry, less than a 5-minute walk from the promenade, popular shops, and restaurants. An innocuous set of unmarked brown doors lined with greenery leads you into a magical garden courtyard. Plenty of parking space is available in the municipal car park located right opposite the house.

Madras Suite

This suite comprises a large bedroom, a spacious lounge, a balcony, an ensuite bathroom and a small pantry. The bedroom is luxurious with two sets of slatted double French doors that open into the lounge. A beautiful Tree-of-Life tapestry adorns the eastern wall. Sitting beside it is an exquisite period Rosewood dresser.

A romantic canopy bed forms the centrepiece of the room, a charming Dutch-East Indian study desk with a restored lithograph of Fort St. George overlooking it. The AC lounge of the Madras Suite has a sitting area with a flat-screen TV and cable. An old photo print of the Meenakshi Temple in Madurai fills one wall. A painting by Rekha Rodwittiya adds mirth to the room.

Bombay Suite

This large suite comprises a bedroom, bathroom and air-conditioned lounge. Themed with hints of Bombay and Gujarat, the bedroom has a queen bed with a large pichwai painting as a backdrop. An Anglo-Indian carved sofa from Gujarat sits in one corner. Tall French doors lead onto a wraparound balcony overlooking the courtyard and road. A set of metal chairs and a small table make it ideal for a morning cup of coffee. The lounge has a flat-screen TV with cable.

A beautiful Bourne-and-Shepherd photo of colonial Bombay with Flora Fountain harks back to an earlier era. A sofa-cum-double bed accommodates one adult or two small children.

Indo-Chine Bedroom

Themed in shades of Shanghai Red and decorated in all things oriental, this bedroom leads off from the northern side of the Living Room. Its high romantic four-poster king bed is accessible with stepping stools. Flanked on both sides are Chinese side consoles, topped with oriental lamps, and the walls are decorated with fragments of original headboards from a daybed of an opium parlour.

There is a decadent, maroon-themed bathroom with a decorative chandelier hovering over a cement-smoothened bathtub.

Bengal Bedroom

Accessed from the north of the garden courtyard, this room is themed in indigo blue and filled with art and textiles of East India. A small queen four-poster bed is framed by a blue Tree-of-Life-themed Chintz tapestry. Bedside tables have Kalighat paintings above them, with Art Deco mirrors expanding the visual space.

A large reprint of a Bourne and Shepherd photo of colonial Calcutta adorns one wall. The room has its own ensuite bathroom with contemporary fittings.

Garden Courtyard

This small, foliage-filled courtyard is enveloped on three sides by a bedroom, air-conditioned lounge, kitchen and covered verandah. The centre of the courtyard is a pillar of foliage symbolizing the Tree of Life. In the southeast is a gazebo that houses a powder room.

Covered Verandah

The verandah is also the alfresco dining space, flanked by giant white plastered columns on one side and the formal living room on the other side. A striking black-and-white cement-tiled floor complements a seven-seater cane and metal dining table, which can be extended to seat more people.

Living Room

An enormous, 18-foot-high room with raftered ceilings and flooring set in the early 20th century, uses Belgian tiles imported from Vietnam. Careful restoration of the walls has revealed the original lime-green and red plaster. Sit at a quaint 3-seater marble-topped table under a magnificent chandelier or relax in any of the multitude of corner sofa arrangements.

A beautiful and original Pondicherry buffet sideboard, doubling up as a bar counter, is topped by an exquisite artwork by UK-born Indian contemporary artist, Desmond Lazaro.

Indoor Lounge

This small air-conditioned common space is located adjacent to the courtyard. It has comfortable seating and doubles as a cool respite from warm summers for drinks or even a meal.

Laundry, Kitchen and Staff Accommodation

This space is on the south side of the courtyard. The contiguous laundry room-cum-kitchen is equipped with a washing machine and ironing facilities. The large refrigerator is perfect for chilling your favourite beverages and storing perishables. The kitchen is fully equipped with gas burners, an oven and microwave and plenty of space to cook up a meal of your own.

Upper Verandah

The covered verandah upstairs has two comfortable seating clusters with lovely views over the railing into the courtyard. Ideal for morning get-togethers!
