Beautiful hotel with a serene & idyllic location
We didnât want to stay in a big hotel chain, neither did we want to stay in beach shacks or risk an unknown place. Casa Colvale was a great discovery based on Trip Advisor reviews.
Located far away from the hustle & bustle of Goa, Casa Colvale is set in idyllic surroundings, on the bank of the Chapora river. Designed more like a huge bungalow, rather than a hotel, it has large open areas on each floor for sitting & dining, large verandahs, terrace and large spacious rooms & bathrooms with all modern amenities. The dĂ©cor & furniture is quite elaborate, distinctive & antique looking. We stayed in room no 6 in the lower block & had a great view of the river & the bank across. The views from the upper block are restricted. It was so tranquil, even the birds seem to be aware of it & chirped gently & sparingly. We had a very relaxing & restful stay.Breakfast was sumptuous & served on the deck overlooking the river. We had lunch just once â tasty Goan food. There was other Indian food on the menu too. The pool too is lovely & decent sized, right out there on the deck.
On the down side, it is quite inland & and therefore a long drive to the beaches / forts / towns. The nearest town is Mapusa.
