Description
The home stay is set in large of lush green plants, landscaped premises and a well mowed lawn with garden lights.
Peace and alms prevails over the place which is broken only with the chiming of soft bells from the nearby temple, the chirruping of birds or the playful whistling of the squirrels in the tree.
Among the home stays in Alappuzha, Venice Castle has the easiest accessibility. Situated right opposite to the District Tourism Promotion Council (D T P C) office, it is hardly one minute walk from the Bus station and the boat jetty.
Facilities:
Venice castle is the newly built residential bungalow of Mr. Mathew Vazhappally and family. The building showcase the finest features of traditional Kerala architecture incorporating modern facilities.
Home stay has 3 Deluxe A/c rooms and 2 non A/c rooms, fully furnished with attached bathrooms, WC, and 24hr hot and cold water supply.
Every room has a TV set. There is a spacious drawing room and a common dining area.

Custom made package tours/cruise in houseboats will also be arranged on demand.
Let your holidays in Karalla be complete with a delighting cruise through the gentle waves of backwaters, enjoying the sweet warbling of birds, lushness of green paddy, never ending ripples of lake. The gentle breeze that caress you all along... These and what more, through the decks of a lavishly decorated Kettuvallam, the age long heritage of the land of Kerala.

Venice Castle Reviews from the Web
Very central, convenient location. Clean, modern rooms, with wi-fi and cable tv, and most importantly - perhaps the nicest bathroom of any place that I stayed in 2 months in India. Nice owners and staff, who assisted with all local arrangements, including a cool backwaters boat tour. Extremely helpful driver and guide (Kabeer). Highly recommended if you are in Alleppey.

All the reviews are true--this place is great in and of itself, and AMAZING given the price. The room is spacious, clean, and smells great, the house is immaculate and secluded from the main road, so the entire atmosphere is one of a calm oasis. Continental breakfast, functional wireless internet, consistent hot water, and the staff are incredibly helpful--one lent us 20 rupees change to pay the rickshaw driver, and the owner arranged a car to take us to the beach and back to Fort Cochin in less than 5 minutes. If I were to return to Allepey I would not want to stay anywhere else.

Venice Castle is a fantastic place to stay while in Alleppey. Mathew and his family are very welcoming, friendly, and helpful. The purpose of our visit was to cruise the backwaters and the boat we booked was a day later then we wanted but Mathew was very flexible with moving our booking dates to accomodate our cruise. Also Mathew has a good contact with regards to the cruises, but applied no pressure to us to choose the boat he recommends. Also the breakfast is delicious Kerelan food, the rooms are spacious and clean, and the location is central but quiet. We definately would stay again and recommend Venice Castle.

Great property! Wife and I stayed four nights. Matthew, Mama and staff always smiling and helpful. Lovely home, very pleasant decor, lots of tilework, immaculately clean. One block off main road, bus stop and shops. Food great and free internet. This property should be listed in one of the guidebooks as a "favorite pick". Great value!

Simply the best service we've had in India - Matthew (the boss) sorted us out with a houseboat at 12 hours notice, and gave us a lift to and from the pier for free. The inclusive breakfast was plentiful.

The Location is excellent and very near to the Boat Jetty. Matthew and his family are very warm, friendly and helpful. I definately enjoyed my stay at Venice Castle. The facilities were all clean and the home cooked meals were excellent. A great experience in Alleppey!

Venice Castle is a beautiful Indian villa on a very quiet sidestreet just seconds from the canals and main roads of Alleppey.The owner was extremely friendly and accommodating throughout our stay and especially when we arrived much earlier than we had advised.The room was large, had a great tv with all the satellite channels, was spotlessly clean, had lots of windows overlooking the gardens, and a very welcom hot shower!The breakfast was great with western as well as traditional indian foods... And the owner then arranged (and very kindly paid for) our rickshaw ride to our houseboat...

It was close to amenities and yet tucked away from the main road and quiet. The rooms were large and clean. There were nice places to sit outside. The breakfast was excellent and the owner was very helpful and welcoming as were other staff and family members. I would recommend this hostel to friends.

Good location, clean large room and friendly hosts. However, TV didn't work in the room (ensuite room). Whilst the host was keen to offer information of tours and bookings, beware of misinformation (e.g. "the ferry doesn't operate today because it is off -season, but I can organise a taxi for you")
