Rosaria a été très gentille et à nos soins, frigo bouilloire café serviette propre bouteille d'eau à disposition. La chambre est spacieuse et propre à 2 pas de la plage et des bus. Marcher 15min pour arriver au petit village ou vous trouverez des commerçants. Lieux idéal pour méditer se relaxer juste avant de prendre son avion à 20min maximum de l'aéroport. Seul bémol pas de wifi dans la maison mais à l'hôtel juste à côté Ya une possibilité Je recommande.

The place and the surroundings: Exactly as described. Simple, yet very comfortable. Serene. Lovely beach (less than a minute walk to the beach). Two bars/ restaurants within 200 meters. More options in the main market within 500 meters. The host: Rosaria and her family (her husband, 2 very cute daughters, a dog, a cat, roosters, pigs– I am already missing them (all). Simple. Loving. Hardworking people. Very engaging host family, works hard to make your stay a comfortable one. The verdict: Refreshingly simple from the city madness. The place reconnects you with the essentials of the nature. I would love to stay again. The Tip: Sunset @ the beach

It's a nice and calm place to relax. Very much advisable if you are going to goa to relax more than partying kind. Host is very kind and helpful. Just a minute from Velsao beach.

very friendly family. place is quiet, far from shops. Rosi cooks tasty breakfast. You can eat seaproducts on the beach.

Hi It's a studio room with kitchen and bathroom. It's bit far from the city but very close to Velsao beach. Rosy and her husband are very good and helped us for hiring a bike. I would suggest this place for couples and lonely travellers. Cons: It's located in South Goa, cannot plan to roam north Goa if u stay here.

Rosy was an excellent host, felt like stay in home. She even invited me for food festival in her house. She is also an amazing cook, I would recommend her to anyone.

I was traveling with my family to Goa and we thought of taking a break in less crowded Velsao Goa this time. The homestay is located at just 2 min walkaway from the beach, so close to the beach that you can hear the waves lapping the shore at night. Also a relatively quiet location. The host Rosario and her husband were very helpful. Her husband helped me to rent a scooter, took me to a doctor as my daughter fall sick due to 30hrs of train journey. The room was spacious and clean with good interiors clean toilets and shower, perfect for 2 and a small family. The best part of this location is that if u u don't want to go to the beach every morning, you can roam around on the other side with beautiful quite path around the small old village. And if you are interested in birding then u must start early and roam around the small football ground where I have spotted more then 15 specie. Though I have to cut shot my vacation due to my daughters health, but I really thankful to Rosaria and her family specially her two lovely daughters who really took personal care of my family. I will surely visit her place again with at least a week plan. I will highly recommend this place to lonely travellers, couples, single women and families who want to spend some quite and quality time in a beautiful beach town.

Mrs. Rosy is a very helpful person. They managed a bike for us during our stay. They were very welcoming and always suggested us about the nearby places. Had a wonderful stay overall. Please, contact Mrs. Rosy to get the location of her place beforehand; it will be helpful:)

We spent a wonderful 4 nights with Roshley at his family home in Velsao. Despite having booked into the Blue Room, Roshley had taken it upon himself to upgrade us to the larger Green Room due to some constructing work taking place on the house next door. The sleepy village is set back off the main Cansaulim road, but finding the house was easy with Roshley's detailed instructions. We were warmly greeted by his brother, and Roshley soon arrived to welcome us and show us to our room. The Green Room is spacious, with it's own small verandah, en suite bathroom and access to a shared kitchen area. It was extremely clean, and the bed was large and comfortable. We were in South Goa to attend a wedding at the Park Hyatt, which is the other side of Cansaulim; a 40 minute walk from Velsao or 15 minute bus ride. Roshley kindly offered us the use of his scooter, which we gratefully accepted. Velsao is a sleepy village, without any nightlife, but boasts a beautiful stretch of unspoilt beach, perfect for swimming, and a fine local restaurant where you can eat well and cheaply. Both are just a short walk from the house. If you are visiting Goa for the first time, Velsao might be too sleepy or remote a location for you, but hiring/borrowing a scooter will make getting about a lot easier, and I would absolutely recommend taking some lessons and getting a license before you arrive. There are local taxis, which can be reasonably priced for longer journeys, and a good, cheap local bus service for those who are happy to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with your fellow passengers as the buses hurtle along their busy routes. Madgaon is the nearest large town, where you can find bustling markets, shops and eateries, but IMHO a visit to Panjim and Old Goa is worth the extra 30 minutes in a cab. Roshley and his family are wonderful, warm people, and it was a pleasure to stay with them in their home. It may not be ideal for everyone, but if you want to get away from the tourist traps and see some of the real Goa, and one of the loveliest beaches in the state, you could do far worse than to go and spend a few nights with Roshley.

Roshley was a fantastic host, even for our short stay. He drove us on his scooter to the nearest restaurant when we arrived tired and hungry. He then took us to the supermarket and helped us run errands. The room is in a big old house that feels quiet and remote in the best way. A five minute walk to a gorgeous beach with only fishing boats next to us.

The stay was wonderful! The beach can be reached within 5 minutes and Roshley and his family are very nice and friendly people! If you have any question they will always help you with a smile on their face :) Moreover the area where it is situated it awsome. Almost no tourists and a beauuutiful long beach with a view shacks run by locals. Only the village is a little far (15-20min walk) so it is best to rent a scooter to be able to roam around and go out to eat or buy stuff from the market in order to cook your own meal. But even with finding a scooter to rent Roshley can help you and organize one very quickly! Overall a perfect place to chill out and enjoy life and the beautiful beach!

Me and my partner had a great stay at roshleys place. We arrived quite late 1am and he was there to meet us and make sure we were settled. Nice quiet place a close walk to a very quiet beach. Number 1 beach shack is the best place close by for food and right on the beach. Roshley helped out while my partner was feeling sick and arranged a ride for us to Mandrem on very short notice. Great spot if you are looking for somewhere super quiet to relax with a amazing host.

Our host was incredible; always kind and helpful, the family really went above and beyond to make sure that we had everything we needed. The room and home were beautiful, such a lovely area. We are excited to visit again :)

Roshley was super helpful with everything: taxi, scooter, places to eat, etc. About 3km away from the place there's a restaurant called Zeebop. Highly recommend: prawn masala! :)

Für uns war es ein super Start in Indien. Eine schöne ruhige Lage, 5 min. Zu Fuß zum Strand, der sehr idyllisch und einsam ohne andere Touristen gelgen ist. Roshley war sehr hilfsbereit wenn es um Fragen oder die Fahrt mit dem Moped zum Supermarkt oder ähnliches war. Das Zimmer war sauber und wir hatten einige sehr schöne Tage dort

Very pleasant stay in this charming, comfortable and very quiet place surrounded by nature and 5 min walking from the sea... Roshley and his family were perfect... very welcoming, attentive, accommodating, helpful, always smiling... just amazing! A sense of hospitality outside the common... thanks again for your help, all these tips and services rendered!

Corson's Villa Beach House is nestled away in Cansaulim, about 10 minutes walk from the village and beach. Karl and his family were wonderful hosts, helping us reach their place with ease and ensuring that we were comfortable every day. Options for cab and bike hiring are available, and Karl's family can organise some really delicious breakfast on request! The location is fabulous: Cansaulim is by far the quietest and cleanest beach I've been to in Goa. The house is roomy and well-kept, and the bedroom is comfortable and very well maintained. There is zero noise, which is a welcome break from the horns I am used to in Bangalore! I'd definitely recommend Corson's Villa Beach House if you're looking for a quiet, peaceful and comfortable stay in South Goa.

Beautiful home in Cansaulim which is 10 minute by car from airport and 5 minutes walk from Cansaulim Beach which is maybe the best beach I have see on my trip in Goa. Lovely home in beautiful and quiet area of what we would call country side back in Europe. I have spent great time with Carl and his family, he prepared us welcome lunch and take us on trip to nearby town. Experience that we had with Carl and his family is probably what Airbnb is about in first place! I recommend this place for sure! Will come again!

Room and in general the whole house was impeccable and comfortable. The beach is a 10 min walk approx. and also clean and safe and virtually exclusive for you (at least in mid September). Karl is a real gentleman and he was always happy to help; at a reduced price he can pick you up from the airport and arrange scooter for easy commute and organise food take aways. If you prefer to cook you have a full access to a spacious and well equipped kitchen. His parents are lovely and genuinely concerned about your comfort and wellbeing. They are around if you need anything (Lucia always make sure you stay hydrated! thanks for the lime water!, and Felix all about safety and directions!). We felt very welcomed and at home like being in one of your favourite relatives’.

Have you ever wanted just to escape the hurried life? Well, I did when I arrived to this serene, homey environs. Imagine being surrounded by greenery, hearing exotic birds singing in the morning, and lush tranquility--I had all of this. Added to this was a warm and welcoming family of five. Do I want to return to the cozy studio? Yes. The studio had all that I needed--AC, comfort, proximity to two local beaches and minutes from great seafood. Thanks, Lenny and family.

Wanted to stay at a place slight off from the chaos yet have the ease to go around. Lenny's hideaway was the best option. Slightly off from the market and the touristy beaches, his place is perfect if one is looking for a calm holiday. Wonderful person and his hospitality was spot on. For bikes and cars, he has vendors sorted who drop off the bike/car at your doorstep. Two beautiful dogs to add on to the fun of the place. We had a great time and I would recommend the place for sure! Thank you so much, Len!

Lenny is an artist. He has kept his rooms just like an artist.

This was truly a wonderful stay. Some things about the property first. It's located in quiet little town near the south goa beach line called Cansaulim. It's perfect for the people who prefer to stay away from crowds and chaos. The roads aren't jammed, the beaches aren't dirty and it is still accessible to all the places one would like to visit. Lenny's place is located in his compound itself, and that's a huge bonus. It has a truly picturesque surrounding. The room had everything functioning seamlessly from the geyser to the kitchen facilities to even the television if that catches your fancy. It is as depicted in the photos and better. But that all is extremely amplified by Lenny's presence and help through the stay. He got us a bike for hire at cheap rates to the property itself, gave us a map with the menu of the local joints to order food from, and recommended quite a lot of places for us to visit around south goa and far, including how to spend our new years eve. One thing to consider though, Cansaulim itself doesn't have too many attractions. A minimum drive of 3-4 kms is pretty much always required. Which wasn't a problem for us at all considering the lack of traffic. All in all, I'd definitely choose to stay here if I was going to Goa!

Lenny and his family are very welcoming and kind. We felt very welcomed and looked after at his place. Lenny is usually around when you need smth and his dogs watch over the property at night so it's safe. The house is clean, straight forward, and easy to maintain. The place is situated in a palm tree grove 10mins from the village centre. Cansaulim is a little fishing village with almost no tourists, a little market, a couple of shops, virgin beaches, and a train station with access to the towns nearby. It's the perfect hideaway if you are looking for a place off the beaten hippie and tourist tracks and very genuinely Goan. We were able to completely relax from our busy London lives and are looking forward to coming back to Cansaulim.

Spacious, clean, and extremely relaxing stay. Lenny is a great host and he took helped me with all my odd requests from receiving me at 2 am and paying the cab fare (as I wasn't carrying enough cash). This place is highly recommended for anyone who wishes to have a Far from the Madding Crowd experience.

Our stay at this place was awesome! Lenny was totally friendly, helped us out with all the issues we've had, and also provided very good insights into things around. Location is also great, beach is absolutely quiet, and apartments were equipped with everything we would need in such trip. Highly recommend!

A big big thankyou to Lenny and his entire family for going out of their way to make me feel at home and comfortable during my stay. They really treated me like family. I went on this trip with my little dog who also thoroughly enjoyed the love and care that Lenny and his family showered her with. I think she actually misses them:-) besides being amazing hosts their studios were very clean and well equipped. The lovely garden space and porch are perfect to sit back with a book and spend quality me time. It was a peaceful and relaxed stay with such kind hosts. Superhost indeed!

A beautiful place to spend with your family on a vacation. Well designed interiors makes the place more beautiful. Accessibility to the beach makes it convenient to go the beach anytime. Its more of a private beach and you are on your own. Options for food are less. Look for Supraja which is about 2 kms from Azul with good quality food. We just loved the place and would definitely return for more

It was a beautifully maintained property. Loved the experience... Well thought of decor with an eye for detail. The caretaker was extremely helpful we couldn't have asked for more. Own transport is required to get to the place so if traveling by public transport, you might need to rent out a car or a two wheeler to get there.. The beach is a postcard fisherman's beach, quite clean and secluded. Check out the Utorda beach as well, it's a 15-20min drive from the house, very clean and a lot more beautiful than the commercialised beaches in the north...

Absolutely loved the place,a must visit for everyone.beach is right next to the bungalow.beautiful ambience and very helpful care takers pappu and his wife Sangeeta.

Our family of five, later on being joined by a last minute sixth, spent an idyllic six days at Villa Azul and loved it. The house is well kept and clean and airy, with lovely views and and breeze coming in from the ocean. Lots of space around - which comes in useful when travelling with a child! The kitchen is well equipped- many thanks to Ishita for the extra touches and for the pressure cooker! A very special thanks to the wonderfully kind and ever helpful Sangeeta - travelling with a one year old can be a nightmare but she was such a help and always smiling and we all had a calm, peaceful and wonderful stay. One should ideally have/ hire ones own transport since it's quite out of the way and we found the taxi guys to be over charging and on occasion pretty rude. Also, we were warned on three separate occasions by the lifeguards not to swim in the ocean directly in front of the villa, referring to rip tides and jellyfish. We did see one jellyfish in the water but the water seemed pretty calm. The lifeguards wanted us to swim about a kilometre away near the end of the beach. The sea is clean and calm and the beach doesn't have any shacks or eating places and hardly any people. We would love to return - our little daughter met and fell in love with the sea here and it will always have a very special place in our hearts.

The place is really beautiful and exactly like the pictures. We enjoyed our stay there. There were few pain points because of WiFi not working and readiness of the villa for check-in, but not too big for us then, so it's all right.

Beautiful 2BR house. You definitely need a self drive car if you are staying at this place else access will be a big issue . We hired ours from Defanie and I would strongly recommend hiring from her. The caretaker /housekeeper couple was a pleasant surprise with the package. The lady helped with the cooking and cleaning which was such a big help. We will definitely come back to stay again .

It was an amazing stay at Azul's villa. Everything is pin point accurate as stated on the website. Ishita helped us directions, cabs, etc. Pappu too prepared some great breakfast and got us fresh coconut water. The beach is hardly 10 mins walk. Will come again. A great experience

Ishita's place is very nice and serene. The villa is hardly 2 mins from beach and the caretakers are also helpful. We were 2 adults and 2 infants (almost 2 yr old) . Kids loved the place. Well stocked kitchen was of great help , however the food options are very limited as it is a secluded place and one would definitely require a self drive as there's nothing nearby. Overall a highly recommended place..!!

Awesome experience

The apartment had a great view and was very safe and clean. Service was also very good. Anu was really helpful

One of the best place i visited in south goa. You simply cannot resist the pool and the view from the room

Overall was good.... But as kitchen items were not there.....

Sanjeev made us very comfortable to stay at his property and was always available whenever we needed any help, kitchen could have been better equipped and we had a power failure throughout the day.

the place was awesome , it has all the amenities as per mention in the list. they are good host. we required quite place and we got one.

Really great service! And the place is very well maintained !

Good location. Near Majorda Beach. Ideal for family stay. Calm and serene apartment complex. Spacious apartment with pool and play amenities. Housekeeping needs to be better.

the appartment is just as in the description, the restaurant is great, the area is calm and relaxed. The market is maybe 10-15 min by foot away, where you can buy fresh fruits and beverages. Johnny from the reception is realy nice and helpful, Roany too. the pool is great, especially if you don't want to be at the beach all day. The only minus point are the mattresses.

La qualité de ce logement est le contact chaleureux avec nos hôtes : disponibilité, aide pour se déplacer dans les environs ( proposition de prêt d'un scooter), renseignements pour aller à la magnifique plage , situé à proximité et se rendre au village un peu éloigné à pied, échange avec le père de Roshley Figueiredo pendant son accompagnement et son attente à l'arrêt de bus pour aller à l'aéroport . La chambre verte est grande avec un petit balcon donnant sur des palmes de cocotiers. La réserve serait sur le cadre immédiat qui aurait besoin de plus d'entretien , il aurait été plus agréable aussi que la propreté de la chambre soit plus soignée, comme par exemple enlever les toiles d'araignée de la fenêtre et puis la peinture de la chambre devrait être refaite plus régulièrement. Le restaurant conseillé , situé à proximité , nous a permis de nous restaurer le soir avec du poisson grillé et des aliments goûteux . Alors comme étape avant de prendre son avion ce fut agréable, mais nous n'aurions pas envisagé un séjour prolongé.

Notre séjour chez Roshley et sa famille était tout simplement parfait. Nous avons été le bienvenue dès notre arrivée, malgré quelques difficultés pour trouver l'endroit (nous sommes arrrivés la nuit tombée par bus). La maman de Roshley est adorable et nous concoctait des plats délicieux, nous invitant même à son succulent repas du réveillon de Noël. La chambre que nous avions (purple room) comportait une salle de bain fraîchement construite et la propreté était sans faille. Si vous avez des questions, n'hésitez surtout pas à le demander à un des membres de la famille qui se fera un plaisir de vous aider. Pour les location de scooters, allez au Horizon Beach Resort (seulement 300 rupees par jour). La plage est superbe, située à 500m de la maison environ.

We enjoyed our stay there. Roshley and his family were really helpful. Roshley's mum is a warm person that cared for us very nicely. She also was so kind to prepare a dinner for us, although she had returned from work in the evening and organised an airport transfer for us.

If you are looking for a runaway from noisy india, this is a paradise place for you. Closeby is a great restaurant with amazing fresh seafood where they cooked just for us (try the kingfish) and a long nice beach where you could be alone only with nearby fishermen. We had the option to rent a scooter and explore the area - strongly recommend. People in this part of Goa are super nice as was the host. The place is clean and hidden among palmtrees.

Roshley and his mother were amazing hosts. We had an extraordinary nice stay at their beautiful house. Really calm relaxing surrounding,especially the beach. They cared for everything we asked them, gave us bikes for these days and Roshley took us on his scooter to Madgaon for booking traintickets and later with all our luggage! We had the chance to celebrate Diwali with their neighbors, wich we loved. Thanks so much!

I had a pleasant experience and no bad surprises. The house’s closeness to the clean and sparsely touristed Velsao beach was a nice bonus.

Еxcellent young man and hospitable. I had a great time in Goa . I am very grateful to Roshley for its hospitality. I like it very helpful. Roshley took my extra luggage(URL HIDDEN) He arranged for me the timely arrival at the airport at the end of my journey. My English is not very good, rather no. But this was no big problem , because Roshley. In General, Velsao quiet and peaceful place. Housing clean and friendly budget.

This family is awsome! We enjoyed our stay so much! They're very helpful and the rooms is as in the pics. The beach is easy reachable and not crowded. If you want it silent and no big parties you're right. Hire a scooter from Panjim and enjoy your vacation!

The host canceled this reservation 103 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

Property is good but location extremely bad

Dear Celiano it wasn't first time that we stayed in a appartment , we didn't get things as we were expecting , I never prefer to write such bad comments on this but unfortunately we are so much pissed off with the stay , nobody bothers to come and clean the appartment , we were not getting towels , toilet paper , cooking induction we had to remind you a week for it to get , iron took a week to come , refrigerator , washing machine and many more dear pls never make fool of anyone , this business is word of mouth , I would never recommend to any of my known , please workout on basics Thanks

Мы семейная пара, останавливались в этой квартире на 2 недели в декабре. Селиано очень любезно нас встретил ,помог разместить багаж, показал квартиру . В квартире фактически две спальни, две ванные комнаты, гостиная и кухня. Все необходимая посуда присутствовала. Очень порадовала индукционная плитка для приготовления пищи. Однако большой проблемой было отсутствие холодильника . В Индии всегда жарко и продукты не могли долго сохраниться. Кондиционер отсутствовал , но во всех комнатах имелись вентиляторы. Мы не почувствовали дискомфорта из-за этого. Зимой ночи не жаркие. Ванные комнаты очень хорошие, вода горячая и холодная без проблем. Мебель в квартире соответствовала фото, но удивили два шкафа для одежды .Они явно нуждались в обновленном дизайне. Полочки около кроватей вообще не покрашены краской .Это странно. В гостиной на окнах нет занавесок. Днем солнце светит в квартиру- жарко. Постельное белье меняли 1 раз в неделю. Убирались 3 раза . Еще одной проблемой оказалось расположение дома - между автомобильной и железной дорогой .В первую ночь мы не спали ,считали паровозный гудки. Потом мы перешли в другую спальню и смогли заснуть. Рядом с домом находится автобусная остановка ,можно без проблем доехать в аэропорт Васко -де- Гама или в город Маргао. Но мы пользовались такси или тук -тук. Рядом с домом есть маленький магазин, где можно купить определенный ассортимент продуктов. За мясом, молоком ,свежей рыбой , лекарствами нужно было идти в Консаулим - примерно 1 км пешком или на автобусе 2 остановки. Там же есть банк ,где можно обменять валюту. К сожалению рядом с квартирой нет кафе ,только на пляже шейк с ограниченным ассортиментом и ценами как в Московских ресторанах. Мы в конце нашего отпуска ходили на соседний пляж Утода ,там лучше рестораны и ассортимент. Пляжи очень чистые и мало туристов. Это нас очень порадовало! Местные жители очень добрые и вежливые ! Ароссим очень безопасное место .

What we loved about this place was the location... 20-25mins to the airport as well as Margao station. And the comfortable, homeliness of the apartment. It is also close to a few beaches. Celiano is a wonderful host... Ever ready to offer help, assistance or recommendations for all your needs.

Firstly the place is amazing.. it's suitable for people who wanna just enjoy the nature. The villa is like an old elegant place with good furniture, basically it's a cozy place which will isolate you from the madness of city. The host (Shikhil) really helped us and suggested good spots to visit. I will surely comeback. Thank you :)

For a first time visitor to Goa with my family , it was a pleasure to be welcomed by charming and gracious Mavon & his wife. Always ready to help he bailed me out from a difficult airport transport situation. Their apartment should be the benchmark for all Airbnb host in terms of decor and amenities. With a clean and peaceful beach five minutes of walk, you can really enjoy Goa. Taking away good memories from Goa and enjoyed Mavon's hospitality. Highly Recommended.

Best place to stay.

Great place! All the amenities one could ask for. Great and friendly service. The property manager was very accomodating.

Pros: Apt. was well maintained; kitchen was sufficiently equipped. It was quite spacious for a family of 5-6, with tasty wall paintings and Jacuzzi. Bath rooms are clean. The A/Cs in the bedrooms were switched before arrival and it was really cool welcome. The foot-massager, kept in the bed room, was a brilliant idea! The Apt. is close to the village center (about 1 KM) and we could get most of the groceries. The manager and the helper made us feel welcome and ready. He also rents out 2 wheelers; very convenient. Cons: The apt. is certainly NOT within 500 meters from beach; we had elders with us and the walk to the beach through short-cuts was really long ! The apt. is on the second floor with no lifts; thus for elders and weak-kneed (!) it is a challenge. Except through the manager, there is no public taxi stand in the village / nearby. Nevertheless, overall, an ideal place for young couples and back packers !!

I'm lost for words! Thank you for the fantastic opportunity to stay at your place! It was clean, easily accessible and well organised.

The experience from start to finish was smooth and amazing. Bunty is extremely helpful and acommodating and Lancaster is a wonderful caretaker who takes care of all your needs. It's not even very far from the airport. The place is as amazing as seen in the pictures and you will absolutely love your stay here. Beaches are nearby and even if you want to go further, Lancaster can help you with your travel needs. Will come back to stay here anytime we visit South Goa again.

Serene place.. Outside of typical husky Goa environment

Bunty's apartment is excellent and we loved our 10 day stay here. The property was extremely spacious with a great kitchen that we cooked in most evenings. The A/C and fans kept us cool in the sweltering heat and the property was nicely set back from the main road and with the surrounding fields it had a hidden away feel though it still felt very safe and our stay was problem free. All rooms were as described and we used the lovely balcony from one of the bedrooms as an evening bar where the two of us sat and had drinks, watched the sun go down and observed the wildlife in the fields. The little village of Cansaulim is walking distance and had sufficient shops, fresh veg stalls and money exchange to provide for our needs. That said, you'll need your own transport (we hired motorbikes from the ever helpful Lancaster, the property manager who lives round the corner) because it is too far and too hot to walk everywhere. The tranquility is a big part of the charm though, far enough away from the package-tourist beaches to feel like "real" India. Beaches easily accessible though. Both Bunty (the owner) and Lancaster (property manager) were extremely easy and professional to deal with as well as being friendly and helpful. This is definitely a place you could stay either as a family holiday or for adults/couples sharing. It has a certain romantic charm too, even if the building isn't much to look at from the outside. Being on the top (3rd) floor gave an additional feeling of safety too, so if that is important to you then this is a good place. That said we never felt unsafe anywhere we went in Goa. Arossim is in South Goa which is definitely more laid back and quiet than tourist mecca North Goa, so evenings are not jumping with action, but that's what we wanted. Two less good issues I feel need mentioning in interests of fairness, though neither is a reason not to stay in this great place. Firstly the internet connection/speed is really very basic, though this seems to be a rural Goa problem rather than specific to this property. However I struggled to download even basic emails and our phones (iphone 5 and iphone 6) routinely failed to open simple apps like (SENSITIVE CONTENTS HIDDEN) and (SENSITIVE CONTENTS HIDDEN), and forget about trying to browse websites, it really is too basic a connection. Secondly, the apartment is near the main trainline and trains run all night and honk loudly while passing. You'd have to be a very sound sleeper to sleep through them all night; we were woken at least once a night by train noise. Neither of these issues would prevent me from recommending this property or indeed from staying there again myself. A well equipped, spacious, good value, safe place to stay, and South Goa really is wonderful. Thanks Bunty!

Great place to stay. Calm and serene. Arossim beach is scenic, pristine and walkable distance from Seabreeze

Great Experience.. Loved it!!!Apartment is excellent and we loved our 4 day stay here. Apartment is spacious and neat with all the required amenities. It is as shown in the pictures. Though it is situated away from the market we felt safe. The nearby Arossim beach is far from the apartment. We were here in august may be because of that there were less places around to eat. Property manager Lancaster was helpful and have pretty good information about the place. We hired scooters from him. There was only one liquor store in the market which sadly open till 830 pm :(. We didn't see any other liquor in the market. :) Overall we had really nice time. Cheers.

Very helpful host. He truly went out of his way to make us feel comfortable and to top that he took us around in his own vehicle to show some of the nearby grocery store, vehicle rental store, to the beach, to the main market. He was always available on the call too. The house was clean, well maintained, quite location, we all had a memorable stay. Thank you!

Nice place for the people who like to stay in calm place.

Pros : Great place, closest shops are 10 mins away so are the beaches. Place is as shown in the images Cons: Seems Like a brand new building, hence some of the sockets and lights were not functioning or were not installed.

This place is a great option for people with their own transport. It's located in a quiet neighbourhood, spacious enough for even 6 people if you're with friends. The place was clean, bathrooms were fine. There's a induction stove if you want to make tea. Both bedrooms have AC. There's a balcony in one of the bedrooms and one in the living room. The couch doubles as a bed too. And Aaron is a sweet guy, he came all the way to fishka to give back my license since I'd forgotten. Since we went on a long weekend, we felt the whole deal was a steal.

The place is well maintained and neatly kept. Loads of space, my kids felt like home. Except for the ease of access to transport, beach and groceries required for cooking, its a nice budget place to stay

Lenny’s hideaway is a really lovely place to stay. If you are looking for a host that is very sociable, will spend a lot of time with you, and regularly checks in on you, then this is the perfect place to stay. First off, the village of Cansaulim is my new favourite place in Goa. It is a hidden gem for anyone who does not like the party scene, and wants some peace, quiet, and real Goan life. The beach is seemingly unending, clean, almost uninhabited, and just lovely. The village is quaint and very picturesque with its many charming and colourful Portuguese-style homes. The locals are sweet and kind. No one hassles you to buy things, and no one tries to rip you off. Lenny’s place is also beautiful. It is so uniquely and tastefully decorated and laid out. I loved how clean it was, and the extra touches, like the optional air conditioning, the kitchen, the laundry rack (seemingly a simple touch, but in India this is rare!), the bathroom floor water sweeper thing (sorry I don’t know the name of it – but again, I haven’t seen this anywhere else, and it really helps keep the washroom clean!), and all the shelves and even hangers. Although Lenny’s place is farther from the beach than described, it is a really nice lovely 30 minute walk to the beach through the charming village. I actually felt the longer walk was a bonus, because you got to see real Goan life. There is also a lovely walk from Lenny’s place through farming fields that lead to a hill top church where you can see 360 degree views of the area. Lenny and his entire family are extremely helpful, friendly, and sweet. They all went above and beyond a host’s duties, helping me out when I was sick (even getting their relative who is a homeopathic doctor to take a look at me), lending me reading books, helping me get my guitar ready for plane travel, and even inviting me over to see their beautiful Goan home. There were regular issues with the internet going down for extended periods (like 6-24 hrs at a time, versus just 10-15 minutes as is usual in India), and as wifi was one of the amenities listed that drew me to this listing, I was disappointed that the airbnb description didn’t mention that Cansaulim has more extreme internet problems than other places in Goa. However, I also hadn’t notified Lenny in advance that this was very important to me, and just assumed that since it was listed as an amenity that it would be in full working order. Had I thought to mention this, I’m sure Lenny would have let me know in advance. And when I did let him know this was an issue for me, he did everything he possibly could to improve the situation. So long as you aren’t hoping to use the internet on a daily basis, you should be fine....

We were looking for a relaxed Beach vacation away from all the hustle and bustle. Lenny's place was spot on! Just 5 minutes from the beach and some amazing restaurants. We loved the hospitality and the beautiful nooks and corners his wonderful property has. We will surely return soon with a longer stay plan :-)

Awesome host. very helpful and would go beyond his to way to help. Really liked that. The place is calm and far away from city hustle. The room is nice clean and well maintained. the ambiance outside is calm and relaxed.

We wanted a calm homely stay at Goa for a long awaited vacation. Lenny's home stay was just as we expected. A lovely place with the most welcoming hosts and the most serene ambience possible. We'd come back here any day if given the chance. A perfect home like stay :)

Lenny extended us a very warmth hospitality. He made us feel at home, it was like visiting a relative unlike a commercialized stay. Before we started our trip, he shared the location and pictures to guide us reach his place with ease (through (SENSITIVE CONTENTS HIDDEN)). When we reached, he showed us the room and facilities and when we told we were hungry he took out his own car to drive us to Caji Square (an eatery). He gave us time in answering to all our query (even at midnight), made arrangement for our bikes/taxi. As an interior designer himself, he has beautifully arranged the courtyard and the rooms. Room was cosy with facility for preparing coffee and instant noodles/bread. He showed us round his century old home with addition of his own artistically crafted chandelier. Only thing we missed was a blanket on our bed (he told he ordered for it). It was a wonderful stay!

Lenny's place was the ideal getaway I was looking at. He's an intelligent host who knows the requirements of the discerning traveller. The living space is carefully designed by Lenny himself and I was impressed with the perfect balance between the contemporary style and modern amenities inside the house and the countryside outside. It's spotlessly clean and one would feel guilty of dirtying it! I loved the splashes of green plants within and the color coordination. It's ideal for families looking for a complete village set up in lush green with easy access to the main areas. The supermarkets and stores are just a walk away. Lenny is more like family and very easy going. Our kids loved their pets Skipper and Dusty, who are away on Lenny's bungalow but came over to meet our kids with Lenny. His family is lovely. I loved the sprawling area and the chirping of birds and the stone benches to sit and relax. It's rustic at the same time the network of towers is good so one can easily access the data packs. The beaches are pristine and our kids had a great time! I would want to stay here again when I next feel like taking a break from the rush of life. Thank you Lenny!

Lenny was very welcoming. Extremely helpful in guiding us and even went out of the way to find an English mass for Christmas! He was accessible at any time and kept checking on our comfort daily. His place is great, very quiet, but easily accessible to shops and the beach.

My husband and I really enjoyed our stay and it was probably one of the most enjoyable of our Airbnb stays. Lenny's Hideaway is a hidden gem amidst the beautiful and peaceful countryside in Cansaulim. The apartment was clean, very well designed and contained all the essentials for a comfortable stay. The shower was strong with lots of hot water and having air con was a real bonus. The star of the place was Lenny whose love of his garden and nature was obvious. We really appreciated the time he spent with us and his garden is not a pristine manicured floral creation but something far more interesting. It's a work in progress and there's so much to see and learn. At the bottom of his land there is a gazebo and it was our pleasure to sit out early in the morning and look across the fields and watch birds and listen to the wonderful sounds of nature. We are really grateful to Lenny and his lovely family including two friendly dogs for making our stay so memorable.
