Citrus Retreats, Alleppey

Gracing one of the most picturesque locations off Alleppey on the Vembanad Lake, Citrus Retreats is testimony to how even a most ordinary, haphazardly laid out existing cluster of structures can be transformed to an elegant high end property with the right understanding of the place, right combination of design inputs, right craft inputs and efficient execution. 

 Celebration of crafts is in Inspiration's ethos—be it in contemporary elements or in the traditional skills of local craftspersons or as in Citrus Retreats—as a harmonious blend of the traditional and the modern.

 The flow of exteriors into the interiors is achieved in different spatial scales—all rooms have their own private shower gardens to intimately see and feel the blue sky, the breeze, the greenery; the breathtaking views of the back waters from every room transforms this intimacy to awe!
