La Villa
Puducherry, India · Independent · Core Luxury
La Villa is a 19th-century French manor in Puducherry's White Town, the grid of yellow-walled colonial streets by the sea, with a rooftop plunge pool above the tiled roofs. It opened as a small independent hotel and keeps the residential scale of a White Town house, with high ceilings, shuttered windows and a quiet courtyard, so that a stay feels like lodging in a French merchant's home.
