A beautifully-restored Hindu-Portuguese hacienda in the quiet village of Majorda, a short walk from south Goa's loveliest white-sand beach Tucked down a coconut-fringed cul de sac in the gently-paced village of Majorda is this lovingly-restored Hindu house fronted by a beautifully-proportioned Portugese manor. It's the recent creation (and home) of brother-and-sister team Simon and Charlotte Hayward, who are the fourth generation in their family to be brought up in India. Spread over the 2 buildings are 6 double bedrooms, all with ensuite bathrooms, and a self-contained cottage in the grounds; a tented room is due to follow. All are full of dappled charm, cross-cultural history and convivial peace. There's a graceful 12 metre Grecian pool with wooden sunloungers, and a long talcum-powder beach 10 minutes walk away (or a short ride in their jeep). It's the perfect place to escape the hordes of tourists who throng to Goa, to experience village life, enjoy lively conversations round the huge banqueting tables, and make friends with other guests, your solicitous hosts and their cultured Indian circle. read more and book at i-escape 5 / 5 Description by commercial partner i-escape Have you been here?
