Positive: The village in which Visalam is situated is the best amongst all Chettinad villages. It is clean and has a lot of mansions around. The hotel feels more like a home with excellent food, great service and smiling faces all around. The filter coffee is super 👌. Swimming pool and restaurant areas are well laid out. Nice cotton sarees in the hotel shop as well. Room 204 is Huge! The hotel made a convenient base for us to go around the mansions as well as to Tanjore, Karaikudi, Athangudi and Madurai.
Summary: A gem of a property
