This place is super awesome With nature at its best around you Cleanliness is great Only complaint I've is with stupid local neighbours who had wedding going on and they were making noise late night.. And my 2yr old daughter was having trouble sleeping Nonetheless Henderson did tried all he can to stop it appreciate his efforts overall a good place to stay.. Tip: In country like India people have cultural differences so be ready for a generalised comment on what's wrong with Hindu wedding etc ... LOL

It's a lovely nice home; it's clean and nicely kept with all the ameneities. It's a 2 room villa but there's a common bathroom and toilet for the rooms. Really clean! Warm hosts and comfortable stay. Only wish there are more options to order in food or get home cooked meals...

It was a very nice experience, we loved this place, if you are looking for a peaceful place where you relax followed by a hactic day, this is a perfect place, slightly far from panjim but if you have bike or care distence doesn't bother you, and host are really nice.

Hi Hederson Lovely hospitality extended by your family. Natural surrounding homely atmosphere and warmth. Me along with my 3 friends enjoyed our stay to the fullest. We will cherish our stay n thanks to Maria for lovely Goan food. mr Fernandes for all help. Must visit with your family and friends Cheers Ashmita Sharma

A beautiful and comfortable house with lovely, warm hosts who made us feel very welcome. Really enjoyed our stay.

That was a awesome trip we have. Specially thanks a lot Maria. She is a very helping lady.The home is much bigger than shown in pictures. I had never seen such cleaned and well managed homestay. Maria and her husband is very helpful she is always be there for any issue we are facing. I am not giving 5 star just becoz of single bathroom and a bit away from the beaches.

We arrived in Goa at the Panjim bus stop lost as ever like tourists. These wonderful people came and picked us up in their Maruti van with all our luggage. We were accompanied by his friendly grandfather who enlightened us with his wisdom. We reached earlier than the check in time so they took us to their house and let us freshen up and provided us with Goan goodies for breakfast. The little guy (maybe age 9) in the family actually insisted on Helping us picking up the luggage. Everyone was homely and welcoming. The house was right next to theirs it was a little house with Poach out front and the most wonderful back water lake in the back. It was nicely made up with all mentioned furniture. And pictures and pretty things. It was nothing like what we'd expect Goa to be. It was quite and aesthetic. It was like going to a party in the afternoon up to the night and coming back to the authentic, homely side of Goa in the night. It was the best experience living there. They were also ready to help us fish for crabs that they'd prepare for us later. But we didn't have time for it. They surprised us with some alcohol on the house the day we arrived. They were the best host ever. The only complaint is have about the place would be its location. It was difficult to travel to far away from the city. However they also helped us find scooters to go around. All in all it was wonderful stay with the Henderson's and they made our stay in goa complete.

This place is magical! The house is spacious, clean, private and surrounded by beautiful nature. Henderson was brilliant getting in contact straight away with details of the location and very helpful. His aunt Maria is a lovely, friendly, helpful lady. I can't recommend this place enough, I will be sure to stay here again next time I'm in Goa.

Great experience! Awesome hosts! Will definitely stay again. The location is perfect. 10 minutes away from Panjim city. Close enough but not too close :) Great service. The caretaker is awesome as well. One of the A/C remote's batteries ran out and Valentine got it replaced overnight even though he was traveling. Thank you for making our experience great Sandra and Valentine.

This is really a nice place for frindz n family...very neat and clean.

A wonderful experience. What you see on Airbnb is what you get.

There simply could not be a better place to stay in Goa than this villa. The scenic view and the huge villa with all modern furnishings and amenities made our stay extremely comfortable. It was exactly as in the pics but the location was way better than we had expected. Perfect place to unwind. The caretaker was helpful and the host, Sandra made sure we had a good stay. The kitchens had some basic supplies for cooking and all utensils that you would require to cook. There were quite a few good places that delivered food as well. I would love coming back to this villa on future visits to Goa.

Every thing was good.

A beautiful place to relax

This was the perfect stay for groups of friends or family. Very relaxed location with a great view and cool breeze all day. Sandra and Valentine were super accommodating and friendly, taking care of all our needs. Would highly recommend this place to anyone looking to have a good time.

What a home to stay in!! We dint really know what to expect with this villa, We were looking for a one of a kind holiday and we came across this. From the moment you step into the place, you know you've made the right choice. Absolutely stunning!! Everything about this villa, from the bedrooms, to the hall, to the movie threatre (thats right!) screams CELEBRITY, even there is a peaceful meditation area. Nothing like this Adi, really, it was an absolute pleasure to stay at your villa. Your staff was very welcoming and helpful. The cleanliness was spot on. Definitely a one of a kind holiday experience.Thanks for being a great host. Cheers.

A holiday home like nothing I have stayed in. The interiors are amazing, the look and feel of the place really does make you feel like a celebrity. An infinity pool, a jaccuzzi and our own threatre! Adi's staff was always there to take care of us. A true experience to remember. Thanks Adi, it was amazing.

Truly a celebrity experience and we felt like superstars waking up in this Villa. Beautiful and unlike anything else on Airbnb. When you enter the villa, you really have a loss of words. Incredible. The staff are there to always help out.thanks Adi, I'm thrilled I selected your place to spend my holiday! Will definitely be back and a for a longer stay

We had a great time here! Cruz was extremely helpful and assisted us with planning our days and booking us taxis! The apartment was clean and comfy, highly recommend this for anyone who wants to try their own Indian cooking. We hired a moped and bought food to cook from the local market. The beach is nearby and panjim just a short ride away. Highly recommend!

I have been frequenting Goa atleast once every year and never have I experienced a better stay. The owner Mr. Cruz was extremely helpful and apartment is super comfy. I would rate the place 10/10.

Cruz is the most hospitable person in Goa. Hands down. He got us from the bus stop, got us scooters, helped us when things went south, and his place actually looks as good as the pictures you see. Also, it's quiet. You can chill and be at peace. AC in the room and living room, laundry in unit, and a kitchen. This is the best deal in town.

Nice place to stay..

Recommended place.

EASY TO FIND, WELL LOCATED, NEAT, CLEAN & WELL MAINTAINED APARTMENTS, GOOD SERVICE WITH RESPONSIVE PERSONNEL. FULL VALUE FOR MONEY.

It is a new place, very well maintained.. Host was very responsive, bcoz he in person came all way at 2am to guide us to the stay..

The place is near by to the bus stop and can nearby to travel to any place in the city

I booked the place for 3 nights, but we didn't manage staying any. The house itself is quite nice but it's in the middle of nowhere. House doesn't have wi-fi and the area itself has very poor cell phone reception which makes getting out of there a bit of a hassle. The property itself is not terribly misleadingly described, but I must admit the other reviews (strangely all in the month of Jan2017) are fairly misleading, which got me to book it in the first place.

A lovely place with a very cooperative and helpful host.

Its a bright, airy, clean and spacious apartment. The host has furnished the place with high quality furniture and amenities.

The apartment is beautiful, well maintained and located in a peaceful locality. The view from windows amazing. The place is provided with most of the basic amenities such as microwave, ac, fridge, hotplate iron, washing machine, geyser and kitchen utensils. Sanjeev also provided essentials such as toiletries, clean towels and bedsheets, salt sugar, tea and coffee etc. It's a perfect place if you are looking for a quite and peaceful vacation. Sanjeev is great host, very flexible and had been just a call/ sms away.

It was a excellent experience being there. Nice maintained rooms. And sanjeev was always their to help me

My stay in Sanjeev's place was pleasant and exactly what I needed eventhough I did not get a lot of time to spend in the apartment. It was quiet and serene and have beautiful views of the Panjim bay. Sanjeev is an accommodating and very polite guy host who helped me as much as he could. I would totally recommend the stay in his apartment/s for a wonderful experience. I look forward to my next trip (perhaps next year!!)

The place was very nice and comfortable. The flat had all the amenities in place. The only problem was that the location was a bit secluded but it is good for someone who is looking to relax in a quite place with all amenities at a budget price

Nice place but the only minus point is that it is actually very far from the north goa beaches.

11/10 ! We got really lucky to find this Airbnb in Goa. It's the perfect location to visit both north and south of Goa and it's very close to Panjim and airport. Leo and Jacqueline were super welcoming and helped us with the bikes and itinerary of visit. It just felt like paradise : rich garden, cute dog, two ducks, breakfast facing the backwaters, paddle and so much more! Thanks again for everything :-)

The place gives an experience of being close to nature. It is at a great location, very close to Panjim. The hosts were good and ready to help with the local know how.

A perfect homestay for rest and relaxation. As picturesque as the photos suggest if not more. Leo even picked me up from Panjim when i arrived and is more than happy to arrange local transportation whenever required. All in all a very pleasant experience indeed.

Loved staying at serene waters! Leo and Jacqueline and the staff are all friendly and courteous... The room was average but everything else was perfect! They have dogs, chickens, ducks and birds...The resort is very environment friendly and the swimming pool by the river is the cherry on top. Thank you for making our first trip to Goa so relaxed and lovely! Will book the river side rooms next time :)

Serene Homestay is exactly what the name states and even more. The serenity of the place will seep into your soul and you will feel an instant calm. At the same time, the hospitality extended by Leo and his family make you feel very much at home. Leo and Jacqueline are sweethearts and amazing hosts. They go the extra mile to ensure you are comfortable and well taken care of. Unlike other resorts where would bother once you are checked-in, Leo and his family will interact with you regularly and pay attention to your needs. They are very helpful and also helped book local transportation. I also went for one of Leo’s shows and was totally enthralled. The property is next to river Mandovi but cut off from the hustle bustle of North Goa. Tucked in a place called Ribandar, it is easily accessible from Panjim. I didn’t believe Leo at first but once you are here you become lazy. You can spend an entire day at the riverside, even dine by the river watching an occasional bird dive in for fresh catch or laze in the mini infinity pool facing the riverside and be quick enough to spot an otter pop his head out (yes there are otters in the river). I guarantee this place just makes you forget all the hustling party spots of Goa and we barely wanted to leave the property. And if I haven’t bragged enough about the hospitality extended by Leo and his family or the beauty and tranquility of the place, I’ve yet to speak about the local cuisine served at Serene Homestay. It was lip smacking and Jacqueline I can’t compliment you enough on the food you cook. We didn’t want to eat out, we loved the food so much. The breakfast spread was also good. Thank you so much Leo, we will be back soon.

The place is idyllic and lives to its name. Serenity fills us as soon as we enter the riverfront. The hosts Leo and Jacqueline are warm and hospitable and always there to welcome you with a smile. Leo goes out of his way to ensure your stay is comfortable, rejuvenating and fun-filled. He presented us with multiple options tailored to our needs to make our vacation memorable. At the end of the day, We found it was advisable to follow his itinerary suggestions His band is amazing and those who love western music should make it a part of their itinerary. The food from Jacqueline's kitchen is finger-licking delicious. Amazing seafood and non-veg treats. We enjoyed just whiling away the day with a cocktail in hand and treating ourselves to the unending supply of nibbles to go with it. The view from the rooms is good, even though we hardly were in it. The outdoors and the riverfront, the lawn chairs and hammocks beckons us always. That is a beautiful bonding place. Leo arranged our travel requirements within Goa and we were happy with it. Even if the weather is hot outside, serene waters is cool and breezy always. A must stay place for everyone at least once, I would say

A must visit place for good food, good place, serene place with breath taking view. A must ho place in Goa. Bingo and kudos

A really great place to stay, near the city centre with easy bus routes to panjim and old goa. Helpful host who is always avaliable to help, nice family also. Great food and atmosphere. Be careful of extra costs if you're on a shoestring budget like we were lunches, dinners and mini fridge items can add up however they are reasonably priced and tasty. Kind of our own fault for not asking how much they were.

Great host...taken care of all our needs with great care..Place is neat & clean ..Suitable for a family of 5/6 people.

Fantastic place to stay on a bit secluded area. Good service from the host

Our stay was great. Apt was as shown in pic, with fully furnished kitchen, and had a very scenic view of the river. Umesh and his staff were very helpful and generous to make our stay memorable. Umesh helped arrange Goan food in a local's home (samir). Thanks to samir and his family as well for serving delicious home cooked non veg food. It can be little tricky to reach building as small patch of road is uneven but it's worth it once you reach there. Overall stay was like a wonderful second home.

Thanks for hosting us and the comfort you gave us during our stay. Munish is a real gentleman who takes care of his guest's needs very well. The place is neat and tidy. I definitely recommend it to others.

The apartment was great and included all amenities. Calm and peaceful building. We had a wonderful stay!

Manjula & Munish are great hosts... polite & helpful. They check on you to see if everything is okay & are very helpful. The place is a spacious, clean and nice apartment in a residential area away from noise & chaos. Availability of car parking space is a big plus. Definitely recommended for budget stay in Goa.

The place is calm and beautiful. The sunrise and sunset view from the terrace is really good. Panjim bus is just 4-5 Kms away and you can get many casinos and cruise nearby to enjoy. Munish and Manjula were awesome hosts and the provided great hospitality.

Excellent place, The host Manjula and Munish were awesome. We felt like we are visiting any of our relative places. The house is more beautiful than it looked in the picture and the view on top of the apartment is amazing. I wish I could load some of the pics here in this review. House interiorly is so nice that it feels like home away from home. Since we had 2 small kids we needed fully functioning kitchen, we requested Manjula and she was so helpful and kept all the needed items ready, we cooked and felt so good. Maybe it is a good sign that we booked this house, all the travel plan went as planned and we were able to cover most of the places. Thanks once again....When I remember about goa, I will definitely this of this house Definitely, a place to come back.

Best place ..very much near to panjim and all the casinos..

Wonderful place.. Lovely host..especially if needed quiet and peace... The only issue is that it is a bit far from the airport.. Otherwise great stay...

One of the best accessable places in Goa

Vishal's flat is really amazing! It's right in the center of goa and it's good point to travel around goa. And the swimming pool is the best part of the flat! It's clean and water is maintained at good temperature always. And Vishal is really nice guy and he is always there if we need some help or suggestions. Overall, we totally recommend this place if you are visiting gap.

Vishal was a caring and concerned host whose facility offers what is probably the best, serious "Lap-Pool" in Goa... For that function alone – if you are a keen lap-swimmer – then his offering makes it worthwhile. The geographic location of Dona Paulha where the apartment is situated, is also well-sited. 28 kms from the airport with a charge of around IR 1,000 for a mid-sized pick-up – the location is quiet, has a magnificent view and yet is also near enough to the historic attractions of Old Goa to be useful. If you are looking for more"excitement" then the more tourism-centric Northern Beaches further up the coast and starting another 30 kms away, will be more attractive. Vishal went out of his way to make my stay useful and helped by showing me where the nearest shops were for provisions: in general, unless staying along the Northern beaches, you will need some kind of transport – and Vishal will certainly be able to point you in the right direction for hire-cars or bikes etc. This location will not suit everybody – but for myself I was pleased to be able to operate from a quiet neighbourhood, enjoy a great pool and be able to travel around to visit the old Portuguese forts and churches for which Goa is reknowned.

Awesome Apartment , Great location , perfect for any one .

Raw Message Printable View The apartment is in an excellent location that is quiet, without street noise and venders. It is in a gated community and was kept trash free which was a major bonus. The apartment doesnt have ocean views but I wasnt expecting that based on the price and I was happy to see the ocean from the complex. The 2 beautiful pools were a great amenity and I used them twice a day. Often I had the pool to myself but even if I shared with other guests it was never crowded. The AC in the master bedroom was a life saver in Goa heat. Vishal was helpful and kind in the extreme, helping us with whatever we needed. We didnt have a car and he recommended a local taxi driver who was great. Bay 15, a oceanside resort is a 10 minute walk and I often spend evenings there sitting at a table ocean side with a cool drink or dinner. I would recommend this listing without hesitation.

From the very beginning Vishal was a very helpful host. He helped arrange everything including transport to and from the bus station, a furnished kitchen containing everything that we would have needed and even recommended restaurants and places to visit in Panjim. He was always available on call for whatever issue that might arise (cleaning the apartment, faulty appliance etc.) and was extremely prompt with his responses. We had a really great time staying at this house and would definitely recommend it to others as well.

Had a bad experience as the place was unhygienic and unkept. The pool is a common pool in the building. There is no proper view from the apartment. The place was stinky and the linens were stained as if somebody was living there and suddenly left the way it is. The refrigerator was dirty with leftovers. I would not recommend this place to anyone unless you have really poor personal hygiene.

The list description is absolutely accurate, and the place is in a very nice quiet neighbourhood. It may not be for everyone, but it worked for us, because we had both work and leisure very close by. If you're planning to stay a few many days, remember to pick up provisions from near University/ Dona Paula circle, or at a little store thats 5min walk away, but not open at all convenient times. The room was a little dusty when we got in, but Vishal helped in not just getting it cleaned, but also fortifying the pantry with some bread and eggs. He introduced us to a cab owner who gave us both a pleasant drive and the best rates. His book collection is superb, and a great way to spend an afternoon escaping the sun. The pool looked great, but unfortunately I did not have time to check it out myself. Some things could have been better, such as kitchen organisation, but I'll be nitpicking. If I find myself coming back to this area of Goa again, I will definitely consider staying here once more.

The place was very Good and the communications very helpful. Only problem is the location, if you want to move to do shopping ... you need a cab, but the host will provide you a good contact number for that.

Enjoyed our stay. Hosts were helpful. Only thing we didn't realize (though maybe our fault) was that the pool was not so close to the apartment and shared with other apartments

Sagar was very responsive, accommodating and helpful. His home was clean and and the view was fantastic! Overall great experience.

Staying at Sagar and Uttara's apartment in Ribandar made our family trip extra memorable. The flat is large, offers a splendid view of the Mandovi river, and has all the facilities and appliances you need to make yourself at home. Our group of 6 adults stayed very comfortably for four nights, without compromising on a *single* thing. And as the other reviewers have stated, Madhav (the caretaker) was always ready to help if we needed anything. I highly recommend the apartment to anyone reading this review.

First thing first, this place is amazing and so is the host. View is awesome and the apartment is well equipped with all standard machines and well maintained. In terms of cleanliness, space, view, it is really great. Mr. Madhav (caretaker) is a very helpful person and he helps with anything you need. The Host Mr. Sagar has taken care of everything you need to make this place feel like home and kept in touch with us during our stay. This place is a bit far for those who are planning to visit north goan beaches but it's absolutely worth the hastle, You won't regret choosing this place.If I'm back in Goa I'd be definitely be happy to stay here again.

Great! The penthouse is really clean and well maintained, all facilities such as A/C, fridge, oven, etc work properly. Being on the 7th floor, the view from the terrace is stunning. The place is spacious and well ventilated. Unlike most other places, the appliances here are top notch quality. The caretaker, Mr. Madhav, is really humble, helpful and hospitable. He was very reachable throughout our stay and quick responding. This place gets a five star rating from my side.

This place was beyond my expectation. The pictures don't lie. The house is amazing. Any big group going to Goa, please go for this house.. It's really huge and extremely comfortable. The caretaker is also very sweet. The one thing which was a little problem was the location. It was a little in the interiors. However, the house makes up for that.

Good place located near by to Panjim city.Great balcony view and good reception by Sagar and his care taker Madhav.

The place is awesome and so are the host. The flat is very spacious and the view is flattering. The hosts were in touch with us throughout the stay, making sure that we felt like home away from home. No issues at all. A thumbs up from my side.

Loved the stay. Very clean and peaceful environment.

Nice place in the heart of Goa!! But a calm place on the Cliff with breathtaking views. There is a infinity pool which no one should miss

The apartment was perfect for our visit - two friends who could each have a bedroom and bathroom each. Sanjeev, the property manager was very helpful and willing to assist us where required and cleaners were provided every second day. A few points to consider - the pool is not a private pool but rather a shared one for the entire (large) residential complex. Also, location wise, this apartment is very far from all of the main sites in Goa. It's probably our fault and we should have done our research but you will not be able to walk or get taxis from the apartment to anywhere - not even the beach. Instead we had to rely on the local bus (which I really recommend - cheap, easy to use and means you travel like a local!) and taxis back which obviously ended up costing a bit more. We also unfortunately had energy blackouts and no wi-fi for some periods of our visit but this is likely to have been the same all over Goa and not specific to this apartment. All in all, a lovely apartment, well managed with all necessary facilities but too far from the main areas of Goa if that is what you would prefer.

I just spent 6 days at Casinha Raibander with 6 other friends who were travelling to India from Canada. The place was better than it looked in the photos. It is truly a wonderful place with a wonderful host. Capt. Leo and his wife were both very accommodating and went out of their way to ensure our stay was outstanding. We would like to thank the hosts for all of their help and for letting us stay in their amazing villa. The pantry was fully stocked with food and the cooking facilities, views, rooms were all great. It is a 5 minute walk to catch a taxi and a short drive into Panjim. You're also centrally located to reach both North and South Goa if desired. I would definitely recommend this place to groups, families, or friends to stay in as it has something for everyone. Cheers.

Dear Friends, The château - CasinhaRaibandar is a great place to stay in. The villa is as quality as you'd have imagined from the pics. The wooden interiors, spacious bedrooms, the river side view etc. etc. did win us over in no time. Just one point of note - as the cleaner won't come each day, it'd be great if the kitchen area is kept clean at most times, or else it gets little messy and would attract lot of flies. Capt Leo is a wonderful host who has meticulously taken care of each and every little detail within the villa. Since it was raining heavily when I reached Goa, it was very kind of Capt Leo to come and escort us to villa himself. I really did appreaciate the gesture (Thanks!). The canteen storeroom is well stocked with items that would come most handy during your stay. Capt Leo always made sure that things were in place during our 5 day stay his place. He recommended things like the car hire, nearby restaurants, and other good places to visit; all that information came in very handy. So thanks once again Capt! The hospitality and the gentlemanly attitude makes you feel at home in Casinha Raibandar. If you're a group of 7 - 8 people you're surely in for a gala time at this place. Cheers! :)

I stayed here with friends and family for a weekend in July ('13) and if I ever go back to Goa, I would head straight to Casinha Raibandar. Casinha Raibandar means "Tiny house" (- as Mrs. Lobo told me) but is by no means tiny. Spacious 4 bedrooms, 6 toilets, large Dining cum Drawing room with open kitchen and a very soothing view of the mandovi river from every part of the house is what Casinha Raibandar offers to its residents. After reaching, while we were still mesmerised with the beauty of the place, the attention to detail started to impress us. Everything was in place from a stocked up pantry, a note to visitors with suggestions about the best to-dos while in Goa, a computer station, wifi, to bottle openers hanging by the riverside verandah. The quality of fitments is top class. It has been designed for convenience and luxury. Capt. Lobo is one of the best hosts. He and his wife came to meet us just after we reached and gave us a quick guide to the house. He is organised, helpful, friendly, non-intruding & trusting. If travelling in a group of 5-10 Casinha is surely a gr8 option. Cheers. Gaurav

This is an amazzzzing place to stay. Fabulous view of river Mandowi!. The house is exactly the way it is shown in photos. I stayed in the bedroom on lower floor left and I think its the best. You can see the river lying on bed as well as bathroom while in shower or sitting on pot! It is quite idyllic and once in a while a ferry or a boat goes by. We were a family of 7 and the size of house was perfect for us. It is maintained very well with all facilities working perfectly. The decor is tastefully done. At the end of my vacation I did not feel like leaving this place! Upon our arrival, Capt Leo came to show us everything and was available on phone for any questions. We had requested him for a cook but unfortunately the cook was unwell. We asked around in the neighbourhood but there weren't any available. Anyhow breakfast we managed with little bit of cooking- bread and eggs etc, lunch was always out during site-seeing and for dinner we tried neighborhood restaurants. Hot n spice does home delivery but is unpredictable with quality of food. Moon restaurant is more like a local bar with few things to eat. Gene garden restaurant was the best of them n has take-away. Further 4km away, next to Bom Jesus, Ratnasagar was mediocre but decent. Only if there was a cook, the house would have been a complete paradise. Location of house is good. The neighbourhood has some pretty Goan Portugese houses, so this must be part of the conservation area. One thing to be careful of is that the road in front has vehicles going at high speed and there is hardly any footpath to walk or stand along the road. We always had to make the taxi wait a little away from the house where there was more space. However the local buses can stop anywhere for a few seconds for you to get on or off. It was fun to catch the local bus from right outside the door! Bus goes till Panjim main bus stand/ depot from where you can go to other places. All in all, it was a perfect place to chill.

The villa gave a very warm homely experience. We were pleasantly shocked with the different aspects in the villa that I thought were wonderful to make a stay comfortable. We were a group of schools friends and it was perfect. Capt.Leo, I did not meet personally but was extremely kind from the time I connected with him. Thank you Capt. For making our trip memorable. Would certainly recommend this property and I'm sure this will not be the last visit to this beautiful home.

The chalet is fantastic with phenomenal views of the waterfront. Photos don't do justice. The chalet is amazingly well equipped. We had 24x7 hot water, air-conditioning, well equipped kitchen(s) and the in-house store which is a real blessing. Kalpana, the house-lady lives just across the chalet and was extremely kind and helpful. We lived there for just one night, but it was very memorable. Special thanks to Capt. Leo for allowing us to check-in early due to availability as we had a 1-yr old and we arrived in Goa far too early. A note for guests travelling with toddlers: We were two couples with a toddler each, one of whom has just started walking. We initially felt that most portions of the home were unsafe for the kids, and we might spent all our time chasing them and keeping them safe, while not really getting to enjoy the stay. In reality, we felt all bedrooms to be very safe as long as kids were indoors and the doors were shut. There was ample space for kids to play. The large glass doors ensured that we always had a view outside. It was easy to ensure that kids were away from breakable items and power sockets. The chalet had one high-chair which was VERY useful!. The kitchen(s) were extremely well equipped to cater to cooking needs. With the kids asleep in the lower level bedrooms, we were able to enjoy our time on the patio while in full view of them sleeping peacefully indoors. Highly recommended. We will definitely visit again.

We loved Capt Leo's place. Great location, views, house and service! Highly recommended!

Location is a bit off the beaten path but great to chill with friends/family overlooking the river. Come prepared with supplies - the convenience state has a few things but not everything. The age of the house shows in creaky wood floors - but there's also the charm of staying in a house that's practically a historic landmark.
