The property is in a prime location - itself a key landmark and also closer to some of the sightseeing places in Panaji Goa. There are lots of visitors who take photos with the property as a background- which was surprising to us, later learnt that it is part of the properties that is a tourist attraction. When we step of the property, the tourists looks at us in awe, because we stay in it. |Coming to the property, it is a beautiful one, with 8 bedrooms in the first floor with ground floor as a reception and a restaurant space with dining tables and chairs, sofas etc. You will see as depicted in the pictures, nicely maintained. |The first floor has a nice drawing room kind of space before you go to the bedrooms with sofas and a reading space allotted with some nice books kept as well. In case you had forgotten to carry a book, you can use the book there. |The bedroom allotted to us was the corner one, on the right hand side- was a very nicely decorated one with a huge queensize bed and nice storage table with antique furniture, TV table etc. There is a huge window space as well where you can keep your stuff. The bed was very comfortable and cosy.|The washroom was nice and practical, with a separate shower space and the soap kept was the Pears soap(special mention - as it reminded of nice fragrance of the soap). |Since the property is maintained by Taj Vivanta Panaji, it is very nice and breakfast is arranged from there with a car sent by them and dropped back. |The cartakers - Anil and the person in the morning (forgot his name- he is from Karnataka) are very nice and helpful. |The Taj team - who oversee and supervise the housekeeping and the arrangements are exceptional. Will write a separate review of Taj Vivanta Panaji. |The parking is outside the property, closer to the other gate. Because of the crowd of visitors, there is a chance of an issue as i faced, with my car getting a scratch possibly by a unruly crowd person. The Taj team graciously agreed to get my car parked in Taj Vivanta Panaji. |The first floor also has the issue of noise of the tourists dropping in from morning onwards- but that is a relatively smaller issue, compared to the other comforts. |The nearby vegetarian restaurants, particulary GreenR- which offers vegan food were all conveniently located within walking distance. The famous Church is also within walking distance as is the boating and other attractions.
