This beautifully restored Indo-Portuguese villa is surrounded by immaculate gardens and paddy fields beyond. The villa has been meticulously renovated by the French owner, an interior designer, who has spent many years in India. Her flawless attention to detail is evident throughout.

Quinta Velha has one of the finest kitchens in Goa. The cooks have been trained in a wide repertoire of Western and local specialties, so you may never make it out to any number of the excellent restaurants nearby.

There’s a great feeling of space at Quinta Velha, from the airy reception rooms and high, teak-beamed ceilings, to the long covered veranda with its elegant facade leading out to the chic infinity pool.
