Description

We almost feel a sense of guilt that we have got the very best locations all over this beautiful state for our Residencies. Nothing however can beat the unbeatable location of the Old Goa Residency, which stands peaceful and serene in a quiet garden, in a quiet World Heritage Site. Yes, we are lucky – just as you will be when you occupy one of our spacious, airy rooms for as long as you like.Our rates at the Old Goa Residency are deliberately kept low so that tourists from all over the world, the country and even from far flung areas of Goa itself can avail of this opportunity to browse quietly through history itself. Old Goa will open your eyes to history not just of Goa, but of the Kadambas, the Chalukyas, the Portuguese, Christianity and Hinduism. There are works of art, breathtaking in themselves but surreal when seen in their entirety when you move from one magnificent old building to another. Where else will you find so many churches, along with a Basilica and a cathedral? An ancient Hindu temple. Old Goa is a bonanza for those interested in history, art, culture and atmosphere. And where better to experience it all with the Old Goa Residency as your base, with world treasures just a leisurely walk away. Take your pick of world heritage monuments such as Bom Jesus which houses the body of St Francis Xavier in a tomb of exquisite Goan and Italian workmanship, Se Cathedral, St Francis of Assisi, St Cajetan, the Christian Art Museum, the Tower of St Augustine, which are just a minute’s walk away from this place. After that you can walk down the broad centuries old brick road that leads off to one of the greatest old churches – Santana of Talaulim. A week is not sufficient to explore the treasures of Old Goa and the places of interest around. You will need at least two weeks. The Residency has 45 rooms in four blocks with double rooms either AC or non-AC. The elegant lobby opens into the restaurant “Sukhsagar” which caters to a wide variety of tastes. A large hall on the first floor where weddings and family functions are celebrated, is very popular with residents from the surrounding villages for all their major functions. A wide sunny patio can be transformed into the perfect open air venue for an informal fun evening, or a romantic celebration at night.
