We have designed our homestay and Siolim to provide luxury, delight and value for money to our upmarket guests, experiences that they will find difficult to get in other orthodox and conventional locations in Goa. Our three-story property is situated in Guddem, a sleepy hamlet on the banks of the Chapora river in Siolim, North Goa.The two units are located on the first floor of a traditional yet modern North Goa home. The two are independent and are fronted by large verandas, which face the brilliantly blue Chapora River. The homestay is a 10 minute drive from the grand Siolim Church. Whilst the properties are near the Morjim, Vagator and Anjuna beaches, they are just 1 kilometer (15 minutes) away from the secluded and practically unknown Uddo Beach. You can swim and lounge on this beach without being disturbed by noisy tourists and annoying vendors. The homestay is proximal to several well-known cafes, restaurants and nightclubs, including the Amancio Bar and Restaurant 500 meters away and the expansive Thalassa Siolim. Sorro, the village pub, is just a couple of kilometres away. Each flat has a spacious veranda, a comfortable living room, a modern bathroom and a fully equipped kitchenette with a refrigerator. Each flat has powerful air conditioners, Wifi, and geysers in the bathrooms. Electrical kettles, toasters and induction heaters are available in each unit for making coffee and tea and cooking delicious meals. Cabs, self-drive cars and scooters on hire are available at reasonable and competitive prices. We want you to experience life in a unique North Goan village, albeit a life of luxury and comfort. Our mission is to delight and provide value for money. We host guests from all over the world, especially Europe and can meet their rigorous and exacting standards. They have left us numerous reviews and pictures that we will gladly show you. We provide our guests with numerous surprises to make their Goan holiday memorable. :) So find out!!!
I bring a lifetime of top-class academics, management skills and a deep love for Goa to our homestay offering. An author, strategist, leader, and innovator, I am also a CA, CMA, finance professional, and internal auditor. I have an honours degree in chemistry, and Oxford Brookes University in the UK has invited me to pursue a PhD in business strategy. Starting my career with a family-owned corporation, I later rose to the top levels in the Italian MNC ecosystem. I became a successful entrepreneur and am now a researcher, consultant, project director and mentor. Working alongside the academic industry and helping students are pursuits of passion. As a past president and six-time board member of one of the most prestigious Rotary Clubs in Western India, I have led community, youth service, fellowship, and administration projects. I have travelled the world and stayed at homestays in numerous countries. I am now putting up a string of homestays that will give affordable, nice, and immensely clean accommodations to travellers. We have arranged to offer you several brilliant value additions to make your visit memorable and delightful. These include the following: 1. Free or Paid bottle of Goan Port wine 2. Free or paid 20-minute massage 3. Free or paid visits to Panjim, Old Goa, Shantadurga Temple, Maym Lake and a boat ride on Chapora River. Please ask us for details.
Guddem is brilliant for a great holiday; you can read quietly and listen to music on the veranda whilst the river flows by, sending you blankets of pure and energizing breeze. Internationally famous beach spots like Anjuna, Vagator, Morjim, Ashvem and Arambol are 10-15 minutes of driving time away. You can party in several restaurants, cafes and nightclubs, including the iconic Thalassa Siolim, where people dance away the night till the early hours of the morning. The neighborhood is absolutely safe and both men and women can move about till the wee hours of the morning without any safety concerns. There are two large supermarkets that stock all the items that you will need if you want to do a little bit of cooking at home. Numerous top-class restaurants can be accessed through Swiggy and Zomato; Domino’s, Pizza Hut and South Indian restaurants serving delicious dosas and piping hot filter coffee are within short walking distance. Numerous hotel complexes, fancy restaurants, and shacks are just 10 minutes away by car or two-wheeler. Our trained hospitality facilitators are always available on the phone and WhatsApp and can help you with all your holiday requirements, including tours and various types of sea and adventure sports. The quaint, comfortable and attractive apartments will provide a Goan holiday you will remember in the coming days. Enjoy your tea or coffee in the spacious front veranda, order a meal or a snack from Swiggy’s or cook your meal and enjoy it whilst the river enchants you; go in for long hot baths in the modern bathrooms. The … apartments are perfect for long and short holidays, yoga experiences, attending contemporary dance and ballet sessions and remote working assignments. Each unit is ideal for two people, but one more can be fitted in in the living room on a comfortable folding bed. WiFi is available across the apartments, and a powerful inverter ensures you never sweat or live in the dark.
