North Goa Seaside Villa
Beach villa with 2 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms and private pool in Goa, India
From £431 per week
Casa Flora is a charming two-bedroom villa set in its own secluded walled garden just five minutes walk from Morjim Beach in rural northern Goa. The house sleeps six in comfort, with space for more.
Overview
Built in 2009 in the traditional Portuguese style, Casa Flora was designed by a London architect with a focus on comfort and safety. The interiors are european-influenced, combining modern conveniences with traditional local textiles and furnishings. All windows and doors are comprised of security grilles and wooden shutters. The whole property is open-plan to catch the sea breezes and as a consequence has no air-conditioning.
Casa Flora's most distinctive feature is its full-width veranda and corresponding wooden-roofed balcony above, accessed from the bedrooms. These provide extensive shaded outside living areas where many of our visitors will spend most of their time.The West-facing balcony has sea views to Morjim Beach and the beautiful sunsets that Goa is famous for.
The villa is owned and managed by an English/Goan family.
Casa Flora is located in a rural area centred around Morjim village where essential services can be found (Shops, Cafes, Taxis, Internet, ATM, Wine shop). At the north end of the beach you can find Restaurants, Cafes, Bars and Beach Clubs. Local fishermen land their catch daily from traditional boats. At the south end the beach runs past sand dunes into a Nature Reserve which is a protected nesting site for the Olive Ridley Sea Turtle. Here you can observe many seabirds and dolphins too. There are no permanent structures here although the area is bordered by a few seasonal beach bars. A lifeguard station overlooks the sandspit which marks where the Chapora River meets the Arabian Sea (with views across to the famous Chapora Fort).
The market town of Mapusa, which is the local transport hub, can be reached by road in about 20 minutes. Here you will find a very lively street market and a good range of shops and services, including an English Pub. On the way you can also enjoy a visit to the newly-opened Splashdown Goa Waterpark.

We were a group of six and we had the most amazing time in our week long stay at Casa Flora. A two storied villa with all the amenities from a stocked up fridge to a power shower, and also a plunge pool which is refilled and clean every two days by the super friendly and amazing caretaker Sebastian. He was always just a call away for any kind of assistance.
Due to restrictions on music and liquor sale during election days, we spent almost every night at the villa partying which resulted in a lot of great memories. The villa had a crazy happy vibe.
We are definitely coming back here the next time we visit Goa.
The Villa had no shortcomings, it was just perfect. Felt like home.

"Unforgetable Time in Casa Flora". I have spent 6 weeks in Casa Flora along with my wife and child.It was amazing experience of living in true Goan/Portuguese house with large balcony surrounded by green trees and sector of the ocean view.Interiors are simple but very comfortable and more than enough for decent living.Kitchen has all necessary equipment and utensils.A lot of great breakfasts and lunches were taken on the green veranda attached to ground floor.The family are highly intelligent and kind people and can be trusted in any way.Everything that was required from them by us was done in the most quick and best way.All was done to make our stay as pleasant as possible.Taxi with reliable driver was arranged to pick us up in the airport for reasonable price.He was always ready to help take us to any places during our stay.Owners always care for the house and garden, cleaning & washing and filling the pool.Welcome breakfast was awesome and enough for three days.The most important thing is that you have the chance to feel the true aura of Goa in this place.Rich trees and bushes surround the house, birds and squirrels in the garden, constant sound of ocean waves, awesome beaches close by and nice people around.All of this makes your stay in that place the one that will be in your heart for the rest of your life.
