We had three great weeks at Villa Verde with the hospitality of Carmita and her welcoming fabulous house. Carmita makes it feel like home, and it is beautifully restored and elegantly decorated with Goan antique furniture and Portuguese Heritage memoirs, as well as painting and photographs from around the world. The swimming pool is great for the warm days and... More

Villa Verde, a tastefully restored colonial house, is located in a small village. Mandovi room is spacious and comfortable, as are the common areas of the house. The pool and garden are quiet, pleasant areas to relax. There is little to do here, which suited us perfectly for our weekend break, though you could if you wished take a taxi... More

We have travelled to Goa for 30 years and sadly it is hard to find the charm that we once enjoyed there due to over development. Staying with Carmita and Chonkey was like going back in time. The house is gorgeous, food delicious, the village charming and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We were invited back for Xmas dinner and... More

This is an amazing place to stay, the villa is beautiful, very clean and tidy and very relaxing. The pool was an added bonus and a lovely place to read and chill out, we were looked after so well by Carmita and her lovely team. We will definitely be returning again and would recommend this villa to every one, after... More

Myself and my fiance stayed with Carmita and Oscar in Jan 2011 after two weeks travelling in north india. To get to the gorgeous and tranquil Goa was a welcome treat. This part of Goa is quiet and off the beaten track. We stayed for a week and were made to feel like part of the family. Whether playing with... More

I had a wonderfully calm and relaxing 3-week stay at this characterful property in November 2010. An initial few days of rain - the tail end of a late monsoon - did not dampen my enjoyment of the lush, untouristy location or the tranquility of the well-appointed house. Then when the sun came out I made good use of the... More

This was my first trip to Goa and I coudn't have had a better introduction to the area and to India. The accommodation was perfect, spaceous and clean. Carmita and her son Oscar, who run the business, are the perfect hosts. They are always happy to recommend areas for you to visit for the day but they are equally happy... More
