Cochin is as picturesque and vibrant today as in the past, where the Portuguese, Dutch and British enacted their private histories.
The Tower House, facing the Chinese fishing nets of Cochin, marks the spot of a 17th century light house. Its vast high-ceilinged halls and arched doors flanked by colonial pillars, is a sheer delight to walk through and wake up in. The authentic furniture and art recreate a lost era, taking you on imaginary, high-sea galleons to the days of adventurers, governors and sultans.
