Smoking friendly holiday rentals in Auroville

I had travelled with my family including an infant. This place just felt like home away from home. Nicely maintained & a responsive host. This would definitely be my first option for my next Pondy staycation!!

Nice place to stay, located nearby to French town and Pondy Beach .

It was a great stay, the house is very well maintained.

it was a nice stay at the apartment it feels like home and the view was excellent! nice seaview and very good location to stay

Joli appartement situé à 2 rues de l’ashram et du samadhi, dans un environnement plutôt calme ( pour Pondicherry). Victor est un hôte charmant et Sanath, en charge de l’accueil, est d’une infinie gentillesse, et d’une aide précieuse. Grâce à lui ce séjour a été parfait. Petit bémol concernant les appartements attenants dont les occupants ont fait beaucoup de bruit même la nuit. Cela a été vite réglé grâce à l’intervention de Sanath, mais c’est à savoir.

Our stay at The Coast - Ocean was wonderful. The rooms are spacious and designed for comfort. All the rooms, including the living room are on the top floor, so yes it did get hot but that wasn't a problem because the ACs were fantastically fast-cooling. The bathrooms are spacious and brightly lit. In fact, the entire property is devoid of any dingy corner. Checking in was smooth, thanks to Sushma, who was prompt, efficient, and accessible while respecting our privacy. While the comfort of the rooms may discourage you to step out, step out you must, because the beach, the iconic cafes and the restaurants are all so close! I'd definitely recommend this for a group of 4 to 6.

“Our stay at this beautiful homestay in the heart of the city was truly a wonderful experience. The location is perfect—right in the city center, making it easy to explore nearby attractions, restaurants, and shops. The home itself was clean, cozy, and well-maintained, providing a comfortable and relaxing atmosphere. Shubam was an exceptional host—always responsive, courteous, and ready to help with anything we needed. His warm hospitality made us feel right at home and added a personal touch to our stay. We truly appreciated his support throughout our visit. We highly recommend this homestay to anyone looking for a convenient and welcoming place to stay in the city!”

This place is located at the heart of French town with all the beautiful cafés including coromandel located nearby. The property is as per the description with all the modern amenities. If you come to Pondicherry and want to stay in French town, this is the place where you should stay. It’s located a minute away from the rock beach which is a cherry on the top of the cake

This place was everything the description said, the host, Preeti was so responsive and kind, loved everything. Absolutely clean and beautiful villa, everything was perfect. Highly recommend for your stay in Pondicherry.

Karthik's place is very beautifully designed and has a spacious kitchen and patio area outside to unwind. The place was kept very clean and all amenities were provided. The stay has a great location as well which made our travel in Pondicherry very convenient. Karthik was a very responsive host and helped us with recommendations for places to visit and provided us with any amenities we needed promptly. Overall it's a very good stay worth the money.

The stay at the Maison Nataraj was really good. Ample space and AC and TV in every room. There were books to read and cars based games to play. The only complaint we had was not having AC and TV in the hall but other than that everything was as described. Venkatraman, the host was super friendly and always responded to our queries in time.

Everything s is good about the place We liked it soo much

Rizas is an amazing host — warm, responsive, and thoughtful. The house is perfect for families, with all the comforts you’d want for a relaxed vacation. It’s conveniently located, with plenty of restaurants nearby and the charming French Colony just 1 km away, which made exploring the area super easy. The kitchen was well-equipped, making it great for those who enjoy cooking or just need a quick meal. Most of the main attractions are within close proximity, so getting around was a breeze. Highly recommend this stay for anyone visiting the area — it truly felt like a home away from home!

Very responsive and helpful host. Clean home which met our needs more than adequately. Due to our limited time and hectic schedule we could not spend time with the host family. We will definitely return in the cooler months and spend more time and explore the lovely city. Thank you guys!!

The home was very neat and spacious. And, the host, Jeyanandan was very friendly and responsive. The supervisor Eswar was also helpful in local navigation. Overall, we had a good and peaceful stay. Thank you.

amazing owner and staff.... helped us in so many ways.

Had a great 2-night stay — the place was clean, cozy, and exactly as described. The host was responsive and made check-in super easy. It is near to Rock beach and walkable to many good restaurants and French colony. Would definitely recommend for a comfortable visit!

The room was cozy and well-equipped, with most of the essential cooking vessels provided. Though the beach view was partially obstructed by nearby buildings, it was still beautiful. Overall, a nice and compact space — a good stay.

really cooperative and helpful host. clear view to the sea. all zomato Swiggy delivery serve at the location. some electrical fixtures like balcony fan, sockets and kitchen light needs to be fixed. else really good.

The stay was incredibly cozy and felt just like home. It had all the amenities we needed, and the check-in process was seamless. Located in a peaceful residential area, it was just a 10-minute ride to all major attractions. Highly recommend!

I would recommend. It’s got all you need as a base to enjoy Pondy. Responsive host. All (minor) issues were sorted promptly. Cosy and comfortable place. Wish I had time to stay longer!

The stay was awesome.. cute place in the heart of auroville.. close to the famous food joints and the beach as well Would definitely recommend this bnb!

My stay at this luxurious 1BHK retreat in Auroville was nothing short of spectacular! The private swimming pool was a highlight, offering the perfect spot to cool off and soak in the serene surroundings. The modern interiors were stylish and impeccably clean, creating a cozy yet upscale vibe. The bedroom was a haven of comfort, and the living area was ideal for unwinding after a day of exploring. The complete privacy made it a dream getaway for my partner and me, and the tranquil setting truly lived up to its promise of exclusivity. The hosts were gracious and ensured every detail was perfect. I can’t recommend this stunning retreat enough for anyone seeking a peaceful, luxurious escape!

Pros: 1) Covered Car Parking. 2) Responsive and thoughtful host ( she kept some eatables for us during check-in) 3) AC even in the living room . 4) Necessary amenities 5) Lift 6) Far from the hustle of the crowd but still located within walking/driving reach of the happening places. Improvement points: 1) In-house RO facility ( 10L can was provided and host did fill up whenever needed) . 2) A door peep hole will help in knowing who is knocking the door before opening it to strangers. Suggestion to reach location: Please take the Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel Road (which takes 1 -2 mins more than Google suggested route) as the access road in between is very narrow and roadwork was going on. Overall, definitely a place to visit for a pleasant stay in Pondicherry. thanks for the nice memories. 😃
