Treetops Villa, Near Calangute, Goa - Explore & Book

"Perched atop a hill, with nothing but 180° views of North Goa’s green skyline, you’d never know you're under 10 minutes' drive (or a 30-minute walk) from the bars and restaurants of bustling Calangute. In fact, it’s thanks to the villa’s total seclusion that it has become popular with Bollywood royalty. Sprawled across 2 acres of luscious gardens, this double-storey, open-plan, Balinese-style villa allows guests to fully spread themselves out and soak up the peace and tranquility. Birds and butterflies flit between bamboo, banana, mango, tamarind and champa trees, while a waterfall provides a mellow background tune. A small team of staff, who have been with the owners for years, operate the villa like a well-run home. The 3 bedrooms (2 doubles, 1 twin/double) and sprawling living areas are kept spotless, the chef’s services are complimentary (you only pay for the ingredients), or taxis can be summoned to reach a long list of local dining options. Golden Calangute Beach is near but you'd be forgiven for wanting to just laze at home and enjoy the peace and infinity pool. Highs An idyllically quiet location, yet walking distance from Calangute town; very rare Owners Hans and Sucheta, who live next door, are wonderfully jovial and welcoming hosts Far more space for your money than staying at a hotel A huge infinity pool, surrounded by nothing but tropical canopy as far as the eye can see No need for a hire car, you can get around in cheap taxis Lows Meals are not included, though the chef’s services are complimentary No stag/hen or similar parties allowed, and no outside guests" - Meg Lambert
