This is a 117 year old property that was renovated many years ago but by keeping as much as possible the old charm and space around the premises. It has a very large front yard and also a private pool in the backyard totally private and is one of the only pools in Goa made of natural stone. Filtered & chlorine treated daily. As we have only 4 bedrooms we cannot host very large groups now but ideal for families or groups 6-10. The team we have on site will do their best to make you comfortable and settle in and can cook for you if needed for a charge and can also shop what is needed and sanitize and keep ready for your arrival.
If you are reading this it means you have some interest in my property or booked or planning a stay in Goa. Although I have spent many years overseas in the Oil & Gas sector in the drilling business and drilling fluids, I am now in Goa and try and meet up with most guests when they check in or during their stay. I have a lovely team that will try and make your stay as comfy as possible and I am always a phone call away. This is my ancestral property so please treat it with TLC!! Have a passion for offroading or long drives when time is available. Presently also run another property in Calangute more towards Candolim if ever keen on a beach side stay or a combo between Chorao Island and nightlife on the coastal stretch of North Goa.
Its a quiet neighborhood. If you want peace, birds chirping no pollution and fresh air then this is the place to be. o Walk up to the hill top hiking for pure photography thrills at ‘Krist Rei Statue of Christ the King’. Legend has it that a stolen statue of Christ the King mysteriously appeared overnight on this hilltop in Chorao; a worthwhile hike for aerial views of Goa’s skyline. You have beautiful views from the top of all the rivulets, Old Goa, Divar Island, Panjim, etc. This is the only point one can stand and see 3 talukas of Goa (Tiswadi, Bicholim & Bardez). o Visit the Dr. Salim Ali Bird Sanctuary. You are living on the island th the acclaimed bird sanctuary on the west coast of India. o Just chill by the pool, plays some games or read a book from the library in the property. o WILD OTTERS RESEARCH CENTRE of India is just 150 mtrs away from the villa. You could spend a few hours there & maybe join in on an excursion. o Devki Krishna Bhumika Mallinath Temple. This is a place where Hindu deities have been brought back after 3-400 years when Portuguese left India. o Love photography? Then this is the place for lovely wildlife, flowers, etc
