Lovely oasis of calm, boutique hotel in the heart of the White Town. We stayed for 2 nights. We dined at the restaraunt on the first night, the food and ambience was excellent. We also dined twice at their sister restaraunt" La Villa" which had a 7 course taster menu that was excellent and great value for money. They are also affiliated with the bar/restaraunt "The Spot" which we really enjoyed visiting during the day for a drink and spot of lunch in a nice courtyard. Breakfast at Villa Shanti was also good and the staff were all very polite and friendly. Our room was charming and comfortable. We felt the roof terrace area could have been a more attractive area to sit out on than it was it was quite basic and felt a bit neglected but otherwise we found the hotel a great place to stay.

Great little hotel in the center of the White Town of Pondicherry. Big rooms with a chic post-colonial atmosphere, super WiFi - which is no given in Indian hotels - and a really really good cuisine in front of your doorstep. As the doors and windows open to the patio, you might feel a little irritated by the music whiffing from the bar into your room, but I‘d count that in favor of the young urban atmosphere of this place. I would come again!

We had an amazing dining experience at this restaurant! The Indian and continental fusion dishes were incredible, and the seafood was fresh and delicious. The staff were knowledgeable and helped us choose the perfect wine. The service was top-notch and efficient. Great value for the price, with generous portions and delicious food. We especially loved the signature dessert, crème brûlée with ice cream - it was yum! A special mention to Ms. Fouizeya, who took care of us with a love and bright smile and provided the best experience. Highly recommend for special occasions! We'll be back for sure.
