patricia Guesthouse is situated in the so called White Town, or French quarter, the unusually quiet and tranquil part of the city. it's a lovely building, two streets away from the Aurobindo Ashrama, a shot away from the sea front. Very colorful - bright colors everywhere - furnished with taste with antiques (the minimalists might find it a bit cluttered),... More

Located in the French part of Pondicherry, you can walk down to Nehru Street, Mission Street or the promenade anytime and just hop into the Aurobindo AShram which is just in the lane behind. The suite on the 2nd floor has... More

And go for the suite because you get a swing in your room and a lovely little balcony. Wonderfully colourful, great location, personal touches, great value for money (breakfast is not included by the way but they provide it for 200 Rs per head) Mosquito nets already provided so you don't have to think of ways to suspend your net....

We had booked two nights here and had to change our plans twice due to unforeseen circumstances. Olivier was very accommodating and understanding despite our changes. We had a charming room on the first floor with a private bathroom outside the room. This was not at all inconvenient and the room was colorful and full of beautiful antiques. The outdoor... More

Rooms were booked with a few phone calls to Oliver, we arrived later than expected but the warmth, brightness, colorful and historical home of Patricia and Oliver just made us forget the tiredness and humidity of Pondi. Large rooms, high ceilings with AC and fans, attached baths and comfy beds. Felt like walking about in a museum !! The guest... More

We arrived at Patricia's days after Cyclone Thane and despite the upheaval and chaos around us, it was a very tranquil retreat. The location is great and ideal for walking. The rooms were very pretty and had comfy beds, mozzie nets and decent showers. We enjoyed the courtyard outlook and the French style breakfasts served there each morning. It was... More
