Chittoor Kottaram

Chittoor Kottaram is one of the most exclusive properties in the CGH Earth portfolio (managed under their SAHA boutique villa collection). It operates as a strict “single-key” private mansion, meaning the entire estate is blocked out for only one booking at a time, offering complete, uninterrupted solitude.

Here are the essential facts, layout details, and heritage background of the property:

The Heritage & Concept

• The Backstory: Built in the 18th century by the Rajah of Cochin, this manor was constructed just 50 yards from the family deity’s temple so the king would have a regal yet understated place to rest and prepare during his spiritual visits.
• Architecture: Traditional Kerala wooden-roof architecture heavily balanced with European colonial influences, featuring old floral-patterned cement floor tiles and a restored ancient temple pond that now functions as the swimming pool.
• The Hospitality Style: “Regal Simplicity.” There is intentionally no gold-plated ostentation or glitz. Instead, luxury is defined by privacy and bespoke care. You are looked after by a dedicated personal entourage led by your own Kaaryasthan (head caretaker/butler).
