"I absolutely loved my stay at Villa Elixir. This place is a gem in the heart of Fort Kochi. The moment you walk in, you feel the calm — beautifully designed spaces, spotless rooms, and a warm, welcoming vibe that instantly puts you at ease. The rooms are spacious, comfortable, and thoughtfully put together. The bed was super comfy, the air‑con was a lifesaver, and everything felt fresh and well cared for. It’s clear the team pays attention to the details. Breakfast was delicious every morning, with fresh local flavours and a relaxed atmosphere that made it the perfect start to the day. The staff were fantastic — friendly, genuine, and always happy to help with recommendations or anything you need. The location couldn’t be better. You’re close to cafés, galleries, and the waterfront, but the villa itself stays peaceful and quiet. Villa Elixir is one of those places you’re genuinely happy you booked. Amazing hospitality, great design, and a lovely atmosphere. Highly recommended."

"Overall a fantastic stay. The entry level room (Dukes chamber) was huge and really well appointed. Some minor signs of west and tear but we loved it- very comfortable. The rooftop dining experience included in half board was outstanding. The first night we had a huge selection on the à la carte menu, and on the second night there was a wonderful buffet. Swimming pool was a real bonus. Breakfast was satisfactory, although the poor man making omelettes was consistently overwhelmed and running behind. Staff were all wonderfully kind and friendly. Location second to none for all the sights. "
