Beautiful place I must say , donata is amazing powerhouse , a rare sight to see these days but few points about the staffs and their attitude - something that might have developed over years . This is India and we love harmony and being social anywhere .. not to be made feel I have entered some foreign land of one’s imagination .. Ajith one of her staff gave me a feeling that I am first timer at her place and faked such an accent and authority to pay the pending amount before even allowing us to settle with our luggage .. I was happy to pay the remaining amount but this was coming from a guy who lives in Auroville inspired by the preachings of the place . Second I am sure , given the beautiful philosophical vibe around the place I would expect him and his masters not to lie around swimming pool under renovation -a complete lie .. be honest and straightforward .. if you have closed it down just because you wanted the pool to be used for relatives from Europe it’s absolutely fine , we are more than happy but please see that you don’t trigger us given the amount you charge for the stay …I am sure Shri aurobindo or Shri Ma would not love to see this inequality in a land of equality . Anyway all the best

pro: Great location , pet friendly , peaceful , quiet Urban crowd /solo or couple friendly Wonderful tamil lady staff taking care of everything cons : too many insects and misquitoes . This much mosquito is very dangerous for dengue season communication is a challenge as folks here cant speak much english or any Indian language other than tamil or (french or italian not sure the exact foreign language they are speaking) power/ voltage issue Not indian family( with senior citizen) friendly place NB: The host lady was harsh with my father when he mistook a wash basin to wash his hand among many wash basins present on the property . Only good for urban young crowd or white hippi crowd who has zero ambition in life and has money to waste no emergency support from host. In 2023 they want to give vibe of 60's hippi culture and semi colonial society. Breakfast: too ordinary
