We have never stayed in a better place. A pity that we only could stay for 24 hours. But we shall never forget Pirrko, her family, her animals, the good cooking and the wonderful house. We shall visit the place again next season. The Swedes. More

We stayed there for 3 days, but we had amazing time. Olaulim backyards is stylish and very idyllic place. It is like visiting family you never knew you had. The surrounding are amazing in the evening you hear nothing but fruitbats flying around. The village is also amazing with beautiful Goan houses and friendly people. Pirkko and Savio did a... More

(Actually, I'd rather you didn't stay here so that we can always have the place to ourselves!) We found Olaulim Backyards purely by accident on TripAdvisor and what a delightful accident it was! I will say that we were initially a bit worried we'd be "trapped" in a small village, but as soon as we got out of the car... More

Beautiful, peaceful, serene......got back from a long weekend break in Olaulim Backyards a couple of days ago, completely relaxed. Tucked away in Pomburpha village this idyllic spot seems to be a world away from the other Goa, yet is only about 11 km from the Mandovi bridge. Coming from Madgaon you take the first left after the bridge, then left... More

The countryside with its winding narrow roads are a pleasure to walk, bike or drive on. Prikko, Savio and there two lovely children are great hosts and make you feel right at home. The foods... More

God's must be staying over at the Olaulim Backyards every now and then to unwind. We mortals are just lucky to get a chance to experience Haven on earth. Pirkko and Savio are just perfect hosts. Can't really describe the place, no amount of words could really justify the place and the hosts. Just go and experience. More
