Beautiful setting, good location, clean room but what really made the stay exceptional was Daniel, who was so warm and incredibly helpful with all aspects of our stay. From where to go, where to eat to getting the transport we needed to carry on our journey. He did this in a friendly and personal manner - he was definitely not a 'false' customer service clone but warm and genuine. Though we may get a similar room elsewhere, we would return there for the wonderful hosting. Thank you, from the two Corinnes :)

You pay for what you get. We entered by mistake the next door Hybiscus and that was wonderful, lush vegetation, period furniture, an airy courtyard....but helas we were next door. It was a crammed building with a small internal courtyard on which the rooms are facing. Felt really claustrophobic. There is no chance you can sit outside. The rooms are very small, and even if we paid for the bigger room online, we were given a smallish unsatisfactory room, and were told we had to pay more to get one of the better rooms. The bed was a disaster. Hard as a table. I had blue marks on my hips after sleeping there. Overall I would not come back.

My daughters and I stayed at the French Villa for nearly a week and it was delightful. We actually extended our time in Pondy because we felt so relaxed and welcome at The French Villa. The staff are lovely, we cannot say enough good things about Daniel, he was really helpful, answered all our questions and was lots of fun. The rooms are nice and clean and secure. All amenities are available and its lovely and quiet.

Well, we tried to book French Villa this year too for Anniversary, but no rooms were available. Coz, Daniel and French Villa are well known for hospitality... Rooms are small and cozy. Well you are not in Pondy to sit in rooms.. but we'll maintained and pocket friendly.. Daniel also has cycles on rent which is enough to go around in Pondy. Close to beach and in white town, the sorrounding is pretty good in shape and cleanliness. No lunch and dinner but you can swiggy or Zomato whatever you want. It will be delivered within 30 mins.. All in all, very good experience and will try next year for French Villa...

Had an amazing stay at this property. We got the room on the ground floor and it was clean and we'll maintained. The guy at the reception was very helpful and also guided as regarding the places to eat and visit. Would totally recommend this place for anybody visiting pondicherry.
