Excellent place to stay with a fantastic educational walk through the tea plantations and cardamom hills with Gabrial - our lovely humble host. The place has a beautiful garden you can walk down to and a stunning viewpoint on the top level.

Gabrial was such a nice host, very kind and welcoming. He gave very good restaurant recommendations, provided very delicious breakfast and took us on a very beautiful & unique hike through the lush nature of Kerala and Anachal. Thank you so much!

We stayed at Le Farmhouse for three nights, and it was one of our highlights in our visit to India. Thanks in great part to the host/owner Gabriel, who showed us around his spice garden, and took care of us during our stay helping us with everything that we needed. I would strongly recommend you take the hike with Gabriel around Munnar. It takes about 6 to 8 hours, in which he explains to you a bit of history and botany. Moreover, make sure not to miss out on the delicious Puttu he serves for breakfast, one of the tastiest breakfasts we've had in our stay in India.

We loved our stay with Gabrial! He is such a lovely person and very caring. We spent a day with him hiking around the tea hills. He told us a lot about the plants and nature and we could ask him everything about his daily life in India. Also, I felt sick that day and he was very helpful, offered tea and ayurvedic medicine. The farmhous itself is close to the village Anachal. It's a very nice, greenish area and we loved the rooftop terrace of the homestay.

Gabrial is a gentle and knowledgeable host. He made us very welcome at his home. The bed and bedding were comfortable, the shower hot and the breakfasts were delicious. There is a beautiful garden full of birds; Gabrial will show you around, telling you the names of the plants and giving you the chance to smell and taste. We picked and ate oranges. Gabrial guided us on a wonderful walk through tea and cardamom plantations and through the forest. I’d thoroughly recommend that if you have time. We ate our home cooked lunch on a rock, enjoying nature. Our stay was a highlight of our time in Kerala. Thank you.

Our time here was made special by the amazing host Gabriel and his son Abi who took us on a hike through the tea plantations and were so knowledgeable on the plants and nature that surrounded us. They brought along a packed lunch, cooked by Gabriel’s wife, and tea for us to enjoy while we looked out over the beautiful landscape. The room was comfortable and we shared breakfast with two other lovely couples staying at the homestay each morning, adding to the communal, homely feel of Le Farmhouse.

I absolutely loved staying at the Farmhouse. It’s a calm and grounding atmosphere in the mountains (with a lovely rooftop where you can do yoga or rest), still you can reach restaurants and other sights easily. The host is taking very good care of the guests, preparing homemade breakfast every morning. Would definitely stay there again :)

Thé Host Gabriel was fantastic. Dont miss going on a hike with him. Hé has a wonderful knowledge of all thé plants and wildlife in the area and the hike we performed with him was absolutely sublime. One of thé best things We've done in Kerala by far. Thé breakfasts were home cooked by his wife and were delicious and varied each morning. A little gem of a place

Gabrial was an exceptional host. I really felt how he sincerely wanted to supply his guests with the best experience. He was very helpful in organising and supporting all of my needs such as laundry, where to buy certain products, bus timetable etc. Every morning I was given a beautifully cooked large breakfast of local Kerala food. The food was delicious and I was offered additional tea and coffee. I was also kindly given a homemade baked treat one afternoon, made by his wife with ingredients out of the garden. Gabrial showed me around his lovely garden, which was full of beautiful flowers, fruits, herbs and spices. He has extensive knowledge of the flora and fauna. He guided me on a long walk, during which he shared all of this knowledge. It was wonderful to experience the walk in this way with the additional understanding of the local wildlife. I particularly enjoyed the hike, despite the misty weather, the ambience and atmosphere was incredible. I loved sharing this time walking peacefully. Gabrial also supplied lunch and delicious afternoon tea and cake. My room was big with a comfortable bed and wifi connection is good for those of you who might rely on it for working online. Despite knowing the rooms are cleaned with integrity, my room was quite dusty, perhaps just a matter of age. I did very much enjoy sitting in the dining area to work from, looking out into the trees and listening to the birds. And had the weather been better, I would have loved to have done yoga on the rooftop. As a female solo traveller I felt safe here and I was also able to walk 20 minutes into town to go to different restaurants, and there are a few closer restaurants about a 10 minute walk away. I liked that it was a little bit out of town with more greenery around me. Thank you Gabrial for all of your hard work, enthusiasm, consideration, kindness and compassion. I'd very happily recommend this as a great place to stay.
