Peaceful stays at the heart of Auroville
A cozy, newly built three-room guesthouse just ~1 km (about 5 minutes’ walk) from the Auroville Visitor Centre and 2–3 km from the Matrimandir. Near the house is a lively water body full of birds and fish; behind it, a working farm. It’s quiet, green, and perfectly placed for exploring Auroville.
