Villa Tesori

About Us

Villa Tesori is a Diamond Class Certified Homestay by Department of Tourism, RT Mission, Govt of Kerala and accredited by Local Panchayat. Villa Tesori is a holiday home, hosted by Nimmy Raphi (full time host), and her husband Dr. Raphi Paul (part time). As a couple they have worked/lived in three continents (Middle East, Europe and mostly Africa), hence they can relate very well to the requirements of the multi-cultural guests and can provide them with a memorable/accomplished stay.

The two key factors that plays a vital role in Wayanad tourism is its sheer nature/landscape and its climate. Being an environmentalist at heart, the couple have moved towards practicing responsible tourism and sustainable living. Their goal is to be a green life practitioner and environmentalist.

It was their dream to live in the mountains with greenery all around, with a large well-manicured garden, to watch/experience the rain, sunrise, sunset, wind etc, in its full glory right from the comfort of their home. They are ardent pet lovers, hence to live with a variety of pets, to experience unconditional love; to listen to the sound of the waterfalls throughout the day and to take a dip in the nearby stream, is all a dream come true for the host couple at Villa Tesori. They consider themself very fortunate to lead their dream life, a semi-retired life, at “Villa Tesori” comprehending their bucket list of wishes for a perfect holiday home.

Nimmy and Raphi’s immense experience in travelling to various countries, their knowledge regarding Kerala culture, food, traditions, climate, and much more, and their readiness and liking to interact with people from all walks of life, and not least but not last, their super energetic outlook towards life itself, perhaps makes them the most apt hosts in today’s time. Since inception they have given personal attention and care to minute details and have gained very hight rating in social media and online platforms.

Perhaps the key ingredients for a perfect vacation are, a right destination, clean and appealing accommodation, mouth-watering and healthy food, fun activities, a positive vibe, loving and caring host to hang out. Villa Tesori Homestay have got them all. Welcome to Villa Tesori!
