AETERNA Homestay stands as a tribute to a 25-year legacy of warmth and hospitality founded by the hosts’ beloved grandmother. Once a cherished family home that nurtured three generations, it later opened its doors to travellers who were embraced with the same affection and treated like family. Today, the tradition continues—thoughtfully preserved by her granddaughter and her spouse, both practicing doctors, who uphold her values of kindness, love, care and impeccable attention to detail. Nestled in the heart of Fort Kochi, AETERNA offers budget-friendly comfort without compromising on modern amenities, framed by a lush tropical garden that creates a soothing retreat after a day of exploring.

Its third-generation hosts, supported by a dedicated caretaker, ensure a seamless and attentive guest experience, marked by spotless surroundings, swift assistance, and an atmosphere of genuine warmth which is something not every commercial stays could offer. At AETERNA, hospitality is guided by a doctor’s sense of care and a grandmother’s legacy of love. Guests enjoy round-the-clock support for anything from local recommendations to transport arrangements—ensuring a calm, value-packed, and deeply personal stay that reflects the true charm of Fort Kochi. Here, every visitor is welcomed not just as a guest, but as part of an enduring family story.

The homestay is located in a tranquil, long-established residential neighbourhood, where generations of families live in close-knit harmony. Guests often remark on the welcoming nature of the community—neighbours who greet with a smile, offer help even outside regular hours and contribute to the sense of safety, belonging, and cultural authenticity, echoing the spirit and warmth of Kerala. This peaceful enclave perfectly balances Fort Kochi’s vibrant attractions, with the beach, Chinese fishing nets, heritage sites and lively cafés just moments away.
