I attended an event with more than 50 friends to celebrate Christmas Eve. We all enjoyed and had unlimited fun as Jijo set no mood-spoiling restrictions. They serve the best food available.

Canoe Ville has been easily the highlight of our trip. We spent a weekend with Jijo and his family, who were lovely and welcoming! The location is fantastic, right on the waterfront with a large terrace where we used to eat and play cards at night. We were also encouraged to try fishing to catch our food for the night! The cottage is nicely done, with Jijo caring for even the smallest details. We can't recommend this experience enough. Great value for money in a paradise-like setting with charming hosts.

We stayed one night at Canoe Ville, an idyllic floating room beside Punnamada Lake. The area is very peaceful as it is located a little away from the town, and it was lovely waking up to the sound of birds and sunrise over the lake where locals setting up their houseboats. Even though we arrived late in the evening, Jijo and his family arranged a wonderful dinner overlooking the lake. They are incredibly kind, honest and open, and this has been the best place (and food) we have found in a month of our trip to India! I highly recommend Canoe Ville.
