Jeanette and Clifton Afonso
This old world charm guesthouse run by the mother son duo Jeanette and Clifton is located on the Saint Sebastian Road in Fontainhas over looking the 18th century Chapel and has been hosting guests for over 37 years now. The guesthouse is a no frills-simplistic-yet functional inn. The focus is on cleanliness, hygiene and to provide the feeling of homely warmth with the lush tropical gardens. Everything done here is done with love and passion to share our goan culture with the world.
Jeanette and Clifton love what they do which is in making guests feel at home and to relax and unwind and enjoy Fontainhas.
Fontainhas is truly a quarter graced with indo portuguese styled houses. A pleasure indeed to walk around the lanes and bilanes and soak in the history and culture.
