Fodor's Expert Review Varikatt Heritage

This 150-year-old tiled-roof colonial bungalow, with its colorful history—as evidenced by the artifacts and photographs that embellish the home—is the location of this popular homestay run by an army colonel. Prettily furnished rooms, decked out with period furniture, also come with TVs and Wi-Fi. The bungalow, with a brown gate and brown boundary walls, is a bit hard to locate; it's at the junction of Punnen Road and the cantonment police station.
