Your gracious hosts at Parayil Homestead, George Tharakan & Sumi George welcomes you to a unique experience of moments spent in a mansion with the weight of history within its walls. Built more than a century ago, this is an elegant, traditional country home that retains the grandeur and history of an aristocratic family. George and his wife Sumi got the home by inheritance and being part of the lineage of an ancient aristocratic family in Kerala, they will have much to interest the guests. Legend has it that the term ‘tharakan,’ which George uses as his surname to this day, is a title given to them by the ancient kings, as the Parayil family were the traditional financers to the kings.

Here in Parayil Homestead you'll find antique woodwork, ancient granaries, and isolated attics! Ancestral stories abound, and so does the rustic essence of traditional Kerala architecture…now lovingly restored and unobtrusively modernized, the Parayil Homestead give you a look into the pages of its history.
