Situated in the heart of Aldona village in the northwest Goa, this old bungalow has everything you need to rejuvenate yourself.  As the location may have it, Riverside Portuguese  Colonial Villa at Aldona is situated by the riverside, thus deriving its name, in the village surrounded by rivers on three sides shaped like a horseshoe.

Some of the key elements of its construction include cross-ventilation and fresh air circulation.

Things to do

Make use of the in-house facilities available at the colonial bungalow. Its proximity to the rivers could be used to your advantage. It is more like a segment of the Mapusa River that is a known tributary of the Mandovi River. Catch up with some evening walks, morning runs or fresh breeze by heading to the rivers. Get your fix of peace and calm at St. Thomas Church, which is just walking distance from the property.

To make the most of your stay in Goa, head out to the streets and onto the local market equipped with eateries, bakery and famous sweet shops selling local Goan sweets. Besides, you have the best collection of savories and sweets being sold at the market area. If you are looking to relax over a sundowner, you should check out Tinto, the marketplace that has a bar offering the best Feni (a spirit made solely in Goa from cashew or toddy palm) ever.

If relaxing in-house is your idea of a dream holiday, you can simply chill by the balcony of the villa or spend some time in the garden that the rooms open out to. Sit there with your drink and hear birds chirp while all around the trees surrounding you. Head to the living area, and pick up your favouite arm-chair at the hall, put your feet up and get some rest or read your favorite book.
