This quaint little charming heritage bungalow has one of the lovely cafes of the city. It was a decade ago that I discovered this place through a friends recommendation. Their menu is simple and quintessentially malleshwaram. Makes for a great spot to sit there with filter coffee and pakodas on a pleasant evening. The place itself is small and occupies just a few seats which makes it for a wonderful place for a rendezvous.
Having stayed in Villa Pottipati three times before, while visiting projects in South India, my wife and I booked it for thee nights in April 2015. We were revisiting people whim we had met before. Villa Pottipati is best described as quaint, with a flavor of the British Raj, although it was the home of two Indian doctors before they went to USA. It is more of a guesthouse than a hotel, with a small, but very helpful staff.
The food is cooked according to order, so requests for an evening meal must be made about two hours before. Both Western and Indian food are very good, although there is a limited menu.
The rooms are comfortable, although each one is different. There is free wifi, although it is best to access it in the main foyer.
The hotel is a quiet garden oasis in a very busy part of Bangalore. There is a swimming pool, although the water did not look as clean as it should have been.
Both my wedding and my sister's wedding was conducted here at Villa pottipati. Mrs. Nandini, Mr. Wilson and all of their staff was very welcoming and accommodative. They were in conversation with us for many days before as well as helped during the weddings. We were able to host over 200 people at a time at the venue. Beautiful, scenic and outdoors in the company of trees. The rooms are beautiful to stay in. An old house, very well maintained. They gave a swimming pool (which we didn't try on this occasion) which would be nice to relax in, but isn't big enough for a decent swim. Even though the Villa is located in the junction of two very busy roads in malleswaram, the noise isn't very apparent indoors. The trees and tall green fences keep most of it out.
Staff are brilliant. If you want a safe sample of India it's a great place to stay. Have used this over other hotels for the past 6 years.
Very nice & spacious room, neat, clean property. Very rustic, ethnic interiors. Staff was also helpful. Enjoyed the stay...
Beautiful property. Vintage look and feel. Takes you back to 19th century. Nice garden area with trees and flowers. A Neemrana managed hotel now.
A unit of Neemrana Hotels is an ecxlusive location like no other in the city of Bangalore. Awesome property with 5 star accommodation
Cannot believe this is in the middle of bangalore. Quite place with wonderful hospitality. Staff respects your privacy. Rooms are different so note that before booking.
Great ambience with sweet people around, super clean and close to nature in the heart of City
An amazingly intricately architected house. Sad that it was brought down. Could definitely fit into a heritage building in Bangalore.
Authentic stay with really friendly and helpful staff. Highly recommended!
My daughters got married here. Excellent place.
Heritage villa..... We can use the place as multi function
One of a kind experience of an old villa in the heart of Bangalore!
In the heart of malleswaram, beautiful antique property with a new charm.
Beautiful heritage house, unexpectedly, in the middle of frenetic Malleswaram.
Has that old style architecture with high ceilings and all the greenery around
