While landing in Trivandrum, an endless expanse of lush green coconut palms will greet you outside your plane window. Later, standing high up in the balcony of your room at Graceful Homestay, the same sight will greet you again!

The surprise is that you are right in the middle of the busy crowded capital city of Kerala. Yet this homestay, with its excellent location on top of a hill in the city, has an outstanding view of miles and miles of uninterrupted greenery with the sea far beyond; making it a perfect wooded escape to enjoy your relaxed holiday, even while being so close to everything — including the airport.

The atmosphere here is laid-back and luxurious — lots of space with a marvellous landscaped garden maintained to perfection. This is where you could maybe try a cook-out with your own well equipped kitchenette. Graceful Homestay is the place to come to with large families or as couples. Even the lone traveller wanting to get some writing done will find this a great retreat.

Chatting with the host, sharing their interesting lives will add hours of enjoyment to your stay. Graceful Homestay has some fine eco-friendly practices (practical bio-gas units, alternative power sources, organic gardening etc) that guests will find an inspiration to follow.
