Raheem Residency, Alleppey

A former residence, set on the beach, which has been beautifully converted into a 6-bedroom guesthouse. Elegant antiques furnish the rooms, which are all spacious, have 4-poster beds and ensuite bathrooms. The beach is not good for swimming, but the pool more than makes up for it. A peaceful property, which is well run and not too large, this is an ideal choice for those looking for a simple experience in elegant surroundings.
