The house is located near Anjuna about 10 minutes from the beaches (see mapz). The house has 3 bedrooms, all en-suite and a very large living room. A large veranda surrounds the house. Upstairs you will find 2 large roof-terraces. All flooring and all bathrooms are done in marble so its easy to keep clean and wonderful the walk and lie on (good energy). The house is build on a small stretch of coconut groves situated between two massive paddy fields. Its all very rural and we have all kind of birds including parrots. Monkeys, cows, buffalos, goats, chickens and what have you are wondering about at will. After all this is rural India. It’s away from all traffic and deliberately chosen so one can only get to the house by foot, scooter or bike. Water comes from our own well and we try not to waste it, its a precious commodity in Goa. We recycle most of our “waste water” to water the garden. Do try to use only eco-bio-friendly-degradable liquids for washing up, hair and “others” . Conservation, recycling and all is the operative word. India unfortunately has no real effective infra-structure relating to conservation nor recycling so you have to be inventive and use the imagination. Take your non-recyclable waste and dispose of it in the sporadic “dumpsters” you will find on the roads. We have a solar water heating system which is more than adequate. Electricity 220V but again the word is conservation. The gas- stove works like everywhere else in Goa, on bottled gas. The bottle is located under the sync so is the on-off switch. Make sure there is enough left for the next set of people. There is a safe for your valuables. There are bycicles, a scooter and my Enfield Bullit 500 beauty. There is also our Mahindra Jeep which is parked in the village. All you can use BUT treat them with respect and make double sure you leave them as you find them.!!. Things deteriorate very fast in this climate hence extra care has to be taken with most “applications” . What we take so much for granted in the West as being just being there and working properly......!!!! not so in India.
There is a folder marked “Casa di Casa” which has all the information regarding the House, Trips, Locations, Leisure. Travel, Airlines and Essential numbers .
We have enclosed several bits and bobs about Goa and I suggest you read them before you come out and print out the essential ones. It will make your stay more comfortable. We suggest you buy and read the Lonely Planet Book on Goa.
With the house “comes” Mala, who cleans and cooks, if so desired. She will do the laundry if asked. She is part of our family so to speak. You can make your own financial arrangements with her regarding these tasks. She knows everything about the house (electric/water-pump/lights/gas/solar etcetc) and can and will answer any queries you might have. Its custom to leave a token of appreciation after your stay. Have a great time and Enjoy.

Additional information:
Right from ancient times, Goa has captured the imagination of all those who visited this beautiful land. From those long-ago centuries, when various dynasties and people fought to gain control of the region, Goa still remains a place that beckons, an enigma that fascinates, a land of eternal charm.

The coastal enchantment of Goa’s beautiful sun-kissed beaches and the harmonious blend of Eastern and Western culture are often the first things that attract the casual visitor. But as you explore and start to learn more about Goa, you will find yourself embarking on a journey of rich discovery. You will then begin to understand the real reason why so many people are irresistibly drawn to the place. Goa is endowed not only with beautiful golden beaches, but also with lush green interiors and an incredibly rich cultural heritage. You can swim and surf in the cool blue waters of the sea, hike across the hilly terrain of the forested interiors, visit magnificent churches and temples or wander through old forts and ruins steeped in history. Depending on the season you choose to visit, you can either laze in the sun or watch as the monsoon rains transform the rich red Konkan earth into a lush green paradise. To both the native Goan as well as to the visitor, Goa somehow manages to evoke an intensity of feeling that is difficult to define. Suffice to say that the magic of the land, the warmth and hospitality of her people, and the simple but unique things that characterize the place are enough to captivate and capture the heart.
