"Having been a guest at Mattuga in Sagara before, I had high expectations for my first stay at their Kodachadri property, and they exceeded them all. The location is stunning and the stay itself is highly comfortable. But the real showstopper is the food โ€” every single dish was phenomenally delicious."
