About Home Stay:-The history of Anthraper family goes back to the early 16th century. The very name 'Anthraper' is derived from Andrew Pereira, a Portuguese name, and also 'AntharaPeriyavar', a term used to denote a person of high nobility.
The Anthraper Gardens Home stay is a dream come true of the late Alexander Anthraper, the last heir to the family estate. The home stay is presently managed by his sister, Omana Thomas, ably assisted by her sisters Mary, Shantha, Leela and Rani on behalf of their nephew & present heir Kilash Anthraper, who lives in the United States. All of them are expert cooks, well educated and widely traveled. The Grand Matriarch Thankamma Anthraper, who is now 86 years old, lives in the house directing the activities of the Establishment.
The Anthraper Family with its roots in Portugal and growth in India has survived through the ebbs and flows of last 500 years. Fortune, fate, luck and hard work have looked after this family, which has blended itself with the new land while maintaining an identity of its own.
