PROPERTY DESCRIPTION
The Island Villa is situated on a plot area of 30,000 sq feet and the built up mansion area is approx 4,800 sq feet. The Island Villa is a quiet place with a beautiful garden, surrounded by swaying coconut palms, fruit bearing trees such as mango, jackfruit, chickoo on the property and has its own private pool with a sun deck set out at the rear in total privacy.
The mansion has a breezy bolcao running around the outside in an L shape with 2 large soppo's, perfect for escaping the heat of the summers. Handcrafted stone works have been added for a bit more rustic feel around the mansion.
As you enter the main door there's a large sitting room with high ceilings and the dining room. Its the ideal space for an evening tête-à-tête and can easily seat 20 people. This is followed by a master bedroom with an antique double bed, spacious cupboards, wooden ceiling and an ensuite huge bathroom (an old bedroom converted). There is yet another bedroom with 2 single beds on the ground floor - air conditioned.
You have a well-equipped spacious kitchen with many cupboards in an old fashion way but with a modern cooking hob and chimney. In addition you have a high rise table and high stools in case of a quick snack or just sip on a few cold beers with your friends as you cook them a lovely meal. There is also a fridge, a blender, cutlery and all the necessary pots and pans required for you to get going.
On the first floor you have a large wooden attic where a working Gramophone sits on a tall table, although in working condition she is in search of a few good old musical records..
There is also the master bedroom on the first floor with its own ensuite bathroom and a wooden ceiling. Again the bedroom has lovely large windows overlooking the pool and also a huge loft above the bathroom.
On the other end of the first level you have a huge bedroom. Here this room has a stunning bathroom – open to space.
With so much space all over the house, the Attic could be used to accommodate friends and family in case of large gatherings or re-unions.
At the rear of the house you have a 15 meters long amoeba shaped pool, built with natural stones and uniquely set out amidst lovely lawns, tall teak trees and privacy. Just laze on the sun beds the whole day and fire up that bbq with the Weber charcoal grill (provided with the villa) when you feel like.
UNLIKE THE GOAN BEACH BELT, ANY HOTELS, ANY VILLAS IN METROS OR BEACH AREAS THE VILLA POOL IS SET AMIDST TOTAL PRIVACY AND YOU CAN HAVE A SWIM WITH NO ONE LOOKING INTO THE POOL AS YOU ARE IN TOTAL PRIVACY AT THE REAR END OF THE VILLA WHERE THE POOL IS LOCATED ON THE PROPERTY!!!!! THIS IS THE BEST THING HERE.
The house has an inverter system to keep the lights going when the electricity goes off in Goa.
Hot and cold water provisions made for all the bathrooms.

THE SURROUNDINGS
The Villa is located in a quiet village of Chorao in a picturesque area great for short and medium range walks along the fields, river or just the village ambience.
Coastal belt/Beach
A 30-45 min drive can get you to the happening beaches of North Goa like Baga, Calangute, Candolim, etc.after crossing the ferry.
How to get there
The Goa International airport is about 40 km away and takes around 1 hour to get there. Local taxis available on call and the best option is usually to rent your own bike or car for long stays.
One can reach the island by taking a ferry from Ribandar which is on the road to Old Goa at 3kms from Panaji, the heart of Goa. There is also a ferry linking Chorao to Pomburpa on the island's west thus offering a convenient connection to the happening night spots of Goa. In case one wants to save on the waiting time for the ferry, a special ferry could be hailed for a nominal price and one would be in the midst of Goa's glittering parties in next to no time!
Further Details
The island is home to the famous Dr. Salim Ali bird sanctuary which, with a thick layer of mangrove forest and unique nature trails and wetland ponds, is an ornithologic
