Josey Powathil
Traditional Kerala style built 110 year old heritage house located near the backwaters which represents true aesthetics and culture of Alappuzha . With its intricate wooden carvings, steeply pitched tile roofs, this home exudes the charm of a bygone era. Every nook and cranny of this traditional abode tells a story of heritage and culture, from the vintage furnishings to the scent of spices wafting from the kitchen. Staying here is not just an escape, but a journey into the heart of Kerala's rich culture and traditions.
Myself Josey Powathil, a cyclist and keen explorer of Kerala's culture and my wife Lisa Josey a culinary artist herself, introducing to the authentic flavors of Kerala. Together they offer a heartfelt invitation promising an unforgettable experience of the backwaters.
Surrounded by lush green paddy fields and beautiful backwaters.
