 Anamika -the Villa Home was built in 1938. It is located at the most idyllic location in the town of Allappuzha, known as the Venice of the East. The Alappuzha town is now the gateway to the magical backwaters of Kerala. This heritage home sits in a pretty, quite and calm surroundings in the heart of the busy town at the V.C.S.B. road which was once the boundary of the Chempakassery Nattu Rajas.
The eastward facing building is a curious mixture of quaint local styles added to the Dutch architecture. The steeply pitched tile roof rests on columns with order done in tuscan with neckings of a curious Dutch style. The verandahs seen at the eastern and western flanks are decorated with rod iron cast grills. The lush green lawns flow effortlessly around the villa.
The heavily timbered ceilings are supported with massive steel guarders, which is in fact a single piece of metal running the fall length of the ceiling. The thick wood worked windows and doors are decorated with Gothic arches fitted with color glass.
A huge mango tree of thick foliage shades the Verandah at the rear of the house. The broad ledges running across the verandah, which is decorated with balustrades of Keralite architecture, is the best place to sit and relax sipping a cup of coffee or tea.
Step in and feel the warmth of an old Syrian Christian ‘Tharavadu’- the ancestral family home of the pioneer Christians of South India.
