Maison Perumal
Pondicherry

This lovely little heritage hotel, owned by CGH Earth, is one of the first of its kind to be situated in the Tamil Quarter of Pondicherry, and really showcases Franco-Tamil Culture at its best. The 18th century house exudes a legacy that reflects the French colonial aura of this small seaside town, known for its alluring history, spiritual culture, imaginative crafts, trendy shopping and gourmet food.

Maison Perumal is period bungalow cum distinguished boutique hotel, and instantly shows off its traditional Tamil personality in the two courtyards; the Thalvaram (street veranda) and the Thinnai (veranda around the house). These courtyards, with fluted plaster and arched windows, give it a very French feel and charm. There is a creole restaurant, which serves excellent seafood, and a bar, both of which are thick with the greenery of potted plants. With just ten rooms Maison Perumal has a very cosy feel. The rooms are spacious, and decorated in typical CGH Earth style, they are extremely comfortable too! The hotel is run by a small and friendly team, and there are plenty of activities and local sightseeing which is available to all guests.

I thought the Ampersand team was outstanding. We couldn’t have hoped for anything more.
- Mr Geoffrey Johnson, India

Ampersand provided a bespoke and flexible holiday, tailored to my every whim. Their highly professional staff had only one goal which was to arrange an exceptional holiday and some unforgettable experiences in India. I have no hesitation in fully recommending them and they will be the first company I approach in the future - 10/10

So many highlights to choose from! The hotels were amazing but Maya Villa was a highlight… I loved just hanging out in the hammock reading my book and watching the peacocks chase the cows!
- Krista Weir, Sri Lanka

Ampersand’s preparation, attention to detail and interaction before and during our trip show exactly why good travel agents have a role in today’s internet booking age. They were a delight to deal with!

I had a very lovely time and was looked after splendidly. My first visit to India could not have been better, save for being longer! But I shall return at some point and I shall look to you to make the arrangements.

We had a wonderful holiday - everything was perfect. Thank you for helping us to make a thoughtful plan to enjoy and make most out of our trip. The places we visited, the guides, the transportation and driver, the hotels selected... Everything was great!

I would recommend Ampersand without any hesitation!!! The best travel agent that I’ve ever had. Everything – from the individual care and attention in planning the trip, through to the efficiency of the agents on the ground in India – was handled brilliantly. An absolutely first-class service all round!
