Vivenda dos Palhacos

This is one of the best places for a nice relaxing holiday. The food and hospitality is really one of a kind. Property is well maintained and curated to host a limited number of guests at a time. Family friendly and they have ets who are friendly too

Simon, just wanted to say a big Thank you to Priti, you and the rest of the crew at the gorgeous Vivenda dos Palhacos. All the 7 of us who spent 2 nights at Vivenda had a fabulous stay and were made to feel completely at home and very comfy indeed. The rooms are decorated beautifully, the food at dinner and the bbq offering by the poolside at lunch was fab too. Loved it throughout and long overdue. 💕💕

Vivenda dos Palhaços in South Goa is the perfect place to relax and experience authentic Goan culture. This beautiful Portuguese heritage hotel, in a small village just a short walk from the beach, is rich in history, with family photographs and lovely antique furniture—especially the stunning sideboard in the dining room! Simon, Charlotte, and Priti are wonderful hosts, making guests feel welcome and at home. The quirky bar is a great spot to enjoy drinks and mingle with other guests before or after dinner. The food was excellent, and arranging trips or an in-house massage was no trouble at all. Even during the quiet season, we had everything we needed for a perfect stay. I would love to stay there again.

Been here for two weeks - it has been bliss! We cannot fault this lovely place - staff are exceptional, food is amazing and we were looked after so well. The house is full of family antiques and comfortable places to sit and relax. Lovely pool area. Beach a 15 minute walk away.

We stopped over for dinner at Vivenda dos Palhacos. It's one of the most unique boutique hotels in Goa. The dinner and service were very good. The outstanding feature, though, is the property itself. We see ourselves dropping in more often. Please make sure you call a few hours ahead and request a reservation. I would also advise looking at the menu in advance for some of the dishes that need an advance intimation.

Well maintained and curated. A book readers paradise. Impressive collection. Great collection of paintings and pictures. Takes half a day to explore the villa.

The house is gorgeous and full of history. Simon and Preeti are extremely hospitable and accommodating. They surely have ensured an extension of their hospitality in the boys who run the whole, the staff is extraordinary and extremely helpful ! Food taste great and the CHERRY ON TOP are Kitten & Jiglo their two dogs ! One of the best solo trips I have had in a long time :)

A beautiful heritage property, with the peace and charm of South Goa, this place is a treat to stay in. The team is delightfully pleasant and do their hospitality stuff to the utmost care. The owners are genuinely caring and helpful and want your stay to be memorable. Right from the selection of lovely flowers (often from their own garden) in the decor, to the collection of art and artifacts, the place is extremely well kept. The lovely pool is an added delight. Try to have a meal here during your stay, or else you will miss out on some really yummy preparations. |We visited for a special occasion in the family and the team there went all out to help us and arrange for things for a great experience. |****
