The house is stunning and decorated with great taste. Don’t forget to check the store: it has amazing gems.
The food (breakfast/lunch/dinner) was tasteful.
The staff is so welcoming and helpful as always in India.
However, do not book the rooms that are in the front : there is a cafe around the corner that blasts music till late at night, ruining the peaceful atmosphere of this great part of the city. The hotel’s owner can’t do anything as the cafe’s owner has “connections”… We tried to talk to the cafe’s manager whom as a real jerk didn’t care about our issue.
Ordered the beef steak at Villa Helena and it was delightful! Perfectly juicy with the right amount of salt on the potato chips. Tried the New York cheesecake for dessert; it wasn't quite up to par, but the jam definitely gave it a saving grace. The staff here are both friendly and polite. Would recommend for a nice meal out!
Located in heart of White town, Villa Helena is a great choice to stay at old French style house. Aesthetically pleasing rooms are delight here. Probably the only Pet friendly place in the area, staff was also very welcoming. Limited food options and average taste was a little discomforting
Had a great time at Villa Helena. The staff is very helpful. Truly, it is a beautiful definition of a heritage house!

Special Mentions
Ramu and Sathya - Great waiters and always smiling. The place is nice for families.
Really not much to review on this one. It's in the beach, but you can't see the beach, decent but not great in all other respects.
Lovely place.
The place has a calm ambience and open sky sitting options,nice place to spend time with loved ones ❤️
The entire place looked a bit run down with insufficient (NOT inefficient) staff managing the kitchen. The room was very well kept, clean and aesthetically done up. The food was excellent. They don't have parking space. The morning after rains, the common area remained wet and dirty till the staff arrived at 9:00; so finding a cosy morning coffee corner was a challenge. The guys at the kitchen counter could have been a bit more pleasing as expected in the service industry.
Went there for dinner. Fantastic ambience, perfect for a date. The entire place was candlelit.
The menu covered a lot of cuisines and had a wide variety of options. Reasonably priced, the portion sizes were also perfect.
Overall, had a great time, would highly recommend!
💰 500-700 per head
We went to the cafe for a beautiful candlelit romantic dinner. Amazing ambience :) pizza was good.
This property is a perfect example of Old world charm .The open dining area is a perfect place to have morning tea or meals surrounded by greenery and chirping of birds.Only one suggestion is that they could improve on their complimentary breakfast menu.
