Palolem: soggiorni in alloggi con braciere

We had an amazing stay at this apartment! It was super spacious, spotlessly clean, and just had a really nice, cozy vibe. One of the best parts? The backyard was full of cashew trees, and every morning, we could smell the sweet, nutty fragrance of ripe cashews right from the balcony...such a unique little touch! Shivraj and Yashoda were the best hosts. They were so kind, humble, and always quick to help. They made everything easy, from sorting out a scooter rental to giving us great local recommendations. We stayed for a week, and honestly, it was better than perfect. Now I know exactly where I’m staying every time I come to Agonda. If you’re looking for a place that feels like home, this is it!

We felt very lucky in finding Jude & Yshana's beautiful Portuguese heritage house in Benaulim. She gave us the details of a taxi driver, Parvez, who met us at the airport and drove us to the house. Yshana met us when we checked in, and introduced us to our lovely housekeeper Lahta who looked after us and made us lots of lovely dinners, and kept the house spotless, even washing our clothes for us for the 5 weeks we spent there. We loved Benaulim, Goa, which is a busy little village, close to beautiful beaches, plenty of restaurants, fruit & veg markets, supermarkets, travel agents. Buses to Margao, Colva, and tuk tuks which would take you anywhere locally for a few rupees. We got friendly with several drivers, and took their mobile numbers, so we could call up a tuk tuk when we wanted a ride. Yshana even took us to Panjim one day to show us some of her favourite shops. We love the area and are planning to go back again, next year.

The description cannot give the true beauty and atmosphere of the property. It was a true home for our big family of 20! The caretaker was a big and reliable help in all our needs. He helped us find best products to prepare amazing food, fresh vegetables, fruit, even the local fish market with the tastiest fish and shrimps we have ever had. Preparing food in this spacious well-equipped kitchen and eating on the terrace was just marvellous. Lots of big and small terraces with tables and sofas to talk, read, play games, rest. Good wi-fi. The amazing swimming pool with water in perfect temperature! The fabulous garden with lush greenery and flowers, magically illuminated at night. A lot of small spaces beautifully arranged, even in a big group you can find space for yourself. We just had a wonderful time, full of laughter, rest, relax, very good food and even dance with live music. We are already willing to come back. Thank you very much!
