This boutique property with a pool is tucked away on an island which is also home to Goa's bird sanctuary - Dr Salim Ali Bird Sanctuary. Slow living, village life, curated experiences and backwater boat rides....perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of city life while enjoying true goan hospitality. The host is local so from hidden gems, fishing spots, to the best goan local food in town...we've got you covered.

We are Dean and Praveena - a friendly local couple who opened their home to discerning travellers , nature lovers and culture vultures who want to explore a different side of Goa with all the modern trappings in a lovely Portuguese boutique villa with a one of a kind pool. We've spent a major part of our life working abroad and have travelled extensively and know what a good holiday is all about. We also run a couple of popular eateries in Goa and when not looking after our guests we have our 2 sons that keep us busy and always excited to enjoy life and Goa. We hail from the island itself with lots of old goan folk tales, stories and more to share so always happy to recommend and trust me, your in safe hands. We live away from the property so you have all the privacy you need and just a phone call away.

The adventure begins as soon as you hop on to a ferry boat that brings you across the river to Goa's little gem of an island - Chorao. A short ferry ride away from Panjim or Aldona or Old Goa area , your in the right spot. From a trip to temples, churches, waterfalls, a bird sanctuary, Mayem lake, Corjuem Fort, Fishing, Yoga and backwater boat rides to the local charm of goan village life with its 'Poder' , Taverns , Bars and restaurants...this truly is a one of a kind experience. …. and when your not exploring...you can just chill at our sanctuary with a unique rock pool and our boys will be sure to pamper you.
