We had a memorable stay at Belle Vue home stay with our 2 furries. The rooms were impeccable and clean. The view of the backwaters outstanding.
Very well maintained, super clean and riverside property offers one of the best stay with gym, pool and a small counter bar, barbecue/grill, music setup along with peaceful location.
It is highly recommend for family or group gatherings. Finally the food was very tasty and they prepared as per our order and requirement.
Shigal is a great host who organised everything for us (I had elderly parents and young kids). From meals to excursions, everything was taken care of.
The property was beautiful and well maintained, but what made our stay truly special was the outstanding service provided by Mr. Shigil, the caretaker.
Shigil, the caretaker of the homestay, does an amazing job in making you feel at home. My husband on his recommendation tried the Ayurveda full body massage and it was a great experience.
We had a wonderful stay at this homestay! The place was clean, comfortable, and felt just like home.

You won't find a better homestay in Kozhikode! Bellevue offers amenities that are on par with a resort. Chef Muneera serves the most authentic and delicious Malabari cuisine.
From the moment we arrived we felt at home. The house is very clean, well maintained, and in a beautiful, peaceful location near the river.
Loved the refreshing riverside scenery here. Waking up to nature here feels magical. It honestly felt like staying at a home away from home.
The property itself is stunning view with beautifully maintained spice garden and fruit trees and very beautiful relaxing pool and gorgeous views.
The biryani and chicken 65, in particular, deserve special mention. The boat ride was a memorable highlight of our trip.
Excellent place for a staycation with family. The place is hygienic and swimming pool is well maintained.
The walkway to the lake, the bar counter, office room, gym and everything was perfect. Loved the whole experience.
The venue, near to river side, was wonderfully been used and built. We could suggest them for any event.
The ambience was peaceful and loved it. Highly recommend for a weekend getaway.
Wonderful location. Great property. Very good rooms and homely food. Felt like own home.

The location was spectacular, on the banks of the Korapuzha river. The property has a long garden flanking the riverbank.
They arranged a driver to take us to a river cruise and Kozhikode visit for dinner at very short notice. They also arranged a sadya lunch when we arrived.
An exceptional stay with a beautiful, well-maintained property, a fantastic location, attentive staff, and outstanding hospitality from Shigil.
Neat and tidy. Amazing views and location. Great food.
