An Introduction
Our house is in the village of Assagao, one of the most sought
after villages in the Bardez province of North Goa. It is a
traditional Portuguese house approximately 150 years old. It
has been lovingly restored and is furnished to a high standard.
There is a central courtyard, which includes kitchen and dining
areas and a decorative water feature in the middle. There are 3
bedrooms with colonial 4-poster beds and adjoining bathrooms.
We now have air-conditioning in all the bedrooms as well as the
2 single beds that can be pushed together to create a double.
This extra space shares the bathroom and the air con with the
room below, so the space becomes a perfect family room.
The back veranda looks onto the lawn and garden. There is a
telephone and broadband in the house. Shyam our housekeeper
speaks English and is very friendly and helpful. He keeps the
house and garden clean and tidy, prepares breakfast and helps
generally with ordering taxis and mopeds etc. He also cares
for our dog Candy who loves the attention of visitors! Shyam
is married to Rohini who is also very sweet and is helping him
and improving her English. They have 2 young boys and live in
the cottage in the garden. The Alsatian in this photo is not with
us anymore. Candy is the small white dog in the photo above.
We offer you a simple breakfast of tea or coffee, fruit, muesli
and yogurt, eggs, fresh bread rolls, with butter and jam. Fried
eggs and omelettes are easy for Shyam, boiled, poached and
scrambled are a little more hit or miss! His Masala omelettes are
popular, but may take longer to prepare.

Vish Baindur supervises Shyam and takes bookings and
payments. His telephone numbers are +91 932 601
2740 or +91 800 700 0448 or you can contact him
by email on [email protected] and [email protected].
He will call to welcome you and can give general
advice at any time. He lives in a village not far away.
We are about 4 miles from the nearest beach and one
can go by taxi, scooter or bus. Most people rent scooters
and Shyam can arrange this. A local bus passes our front
gate every hour and goes to Mapusa our local town with
a great market. The market is open daily but Fridays are
particularly special! There is also a small supermarket,
you might need here – it is also fun and a great meeting
place. Another bus that stops not far away goes to the
beach resorts of Anjuna and Vagator. Many people like
to go to the Northern beaches like Morjim or Assvem, the
latter has some good beach huts where one can spend
the day and have some very good food – the steak at
“La Plage” is highly recommended!
We are about 45 minutes from the capital of Goa,
Panjim where there is a cathedral, many shops and
Rates for
a new 4-screen cinema. We are about 1 hour and a
quarter by car from the airport and we can send a taxi
to meet you. Monarch do a weekly or fortnightly charter
take one of about 6 local airlines down to Goa with lots
luggage to go through.
We charge from 70,000 to 100,000 Rs (£700 - £1,000)
a week for the main season, October to April.
Then 56,000 Rs (£560) for the low season, May to
September. It is less in low & mid season when it is quite
hot and wet and many of the restaurants are closed.
Many people love it here during Monsoon as it is very
green and lush, un-touristy and it rarely rains all day!
can visit a health spa, take walks on the beach or even
visit the excellent dentists in Panjim for specialist treatments at about a quarter of the cost of the same in the
UK. We can recommend one if you wish – she and her
husband trained in London.
2016-2017
Rates for the season are below, including breakfast. November to March is the main season in Goa. At other times
it can be hot and humid or wet. The Monsoon starts here the second week of June and sort of peters out in October
– sometimes there is an occasional shower in November. Some restaurants stay open during the Monsoon but most
close. Many people love it here in the Monsoon as it is very green and lush, untouristy and it rarely rains all day.
