Take a look inside Why House

Why House is a cluster of about seven pavilions – all epitomizing period architecture and design. With a consistent white and warm color scheme, interiors are beautifully furnished with predominantly masterfully crafted, old-fashioned appointments accompanied by first class comforts. All these in a nostalgic ambience may be why you will be afforded a comfortable, enjoyable and aristocratic kind of vacation living exclusively at Why House.
