The famous Santa Cruz Basilica and St. Francis Church ( Popularly known as Dutch Church where the mortal remains of the famous Portuguese navigator, Vasco da Gama, lie buried!) and the Cochin Bishop's House ( herself an excellent example of 16^th century architecture!) with the now famous and much frequented Indo-Portuguese Museum within its precinct are historic monuments within walking distance of Casa Linda.  Just three kilometres to the east is Mattancherry where you will find the old Synagogue, the Dutch Palace ( now, a museum ) and ever so many emporia of antique items and art and craft materials and shops selling spices!          

        Just across the channel from Fort Cochin the Church of Our Lady of Hope, also an historic monument, is visible.  The interior of the Church is decorated with sixteenth century Portuguese art and craft materials in wood, like statues, background curtains to the altars, chalice-shaped pulpit and so on exquisitely carved with figures of cherubs, decorative designs and painted in the now not so much known vegetable dyes of those ancient days!  Just twenty kilometers to the north by road is the much sought out Cherai Beach.

        And Casa Linda?  She is on the main road at a very convenient, quiet and scenic spot!  Under her roof you find relishing relaxation in a soft, sober, serene and sweet homely atmosphere.  And around you find concerned, courteous and helpful hands to see to your needs, your satisfaction and your enjoyment and thus to make sure your stay in Fort Cochin is really memorable!
