Positive: Portal is a wonderful place to stay and Parth is the best host EVER! He really took the time to make me feel at home and was keen to share his love for portal with me. It’s clear he’s put a lot of effort into making the space tranquil and comfortable, full of natural as well as parth-made beauty (the spiral mosaic)! Portal is ideally located, close to all the action happening in auroville as well as the beach and nearby local town. I can’t wait to return one day! Thank you 🌞🙏
