India Vivienda Dos Palhacos

India Vivenda Dos Palhacos | Urbane Nomads

Overview

Vivenda dos Palhacos is a one hundred year old, carefully renovated house set on a very quiet cul-de-sac in the village of Majorda, in South Goa. The longest beach, with the most beautiful sand in Goa, is about a kilometer away. Guests are very welcome to rent a bicycle or grab a lift down there in our customized Tuk-Tuk.

Vivenda dos Palhacos has three quite different atmospheres. At the front of the house, is a modest Portuguese Mansion, built in 1929. It has a hall, two large bedrooms with ensuite bathrooms, a sitting room leading out to a veranda and a large dining room to seat twenty.

The older Hindoo house, behind, is made from thick rammed earth walls with three double bedrooms all with ensuite bathrooms. All our bedrooms have fans as well as air-conditioners. The latter are not usually required until March or April.

At the back of the house is the main garden with a 12m swimming pool, private dining and sun bathing areas and a self-contained cottage.

Figures well as part of a luxury travel itinerary through India and spectacularly as a base for a luxury Indian honeymoon.

This itinerary, designed to coincide with the Pushkar Camel Festival (but works equally well during other times of the year), combines the highlights of India's Golden Triangle with a horse trek through the remote villages of Rajasthan, visiting the famously ornate Jain temples and picnics recalling the glamour of a bygone era, whilst staying in a dazzling assortment of accommodation choices- the former hunting lodge of a Maharani, a resplendent Art Deco palace or former Maharaja's residences.
