Nowhere in South Goa compares to the beautiful recently renovated Vivenda dos Palhacos. The villa is situated down a small cul-de-sac a ten minute walk from Majorda, home to the finest sand and longest stretches of beach in the area.

The English brother and sister proprietors were born and brought up in India and so the house is filled with curious artifacts collected over the years whilst the interior design has influences from the Portuguese, the Hindus and a sprinkling of Europe.

The Keralan cook is as comfortable with superb local delicacies as he is with Western cuisine following many years experience in India and New Zealand. The outside dining area is the heart of the property whilst the ‘one-off’ swimming pool completes the calming atmosphere in the garden.
