Those who are tempted to be clandestine about wonderful places they have discovered would share little about Villa Verde. The property is stylish, characterful and full of charm - very spacious and comfortable too. It is set in very attractive and lush grounds, a haven of tranquillity and with a superb swimming pool and terrace / garden. Luotolim itself is... More

We stayed here for 2 days at the end of a trip to Goa and it was a really treat after our time on the beach. The villa has been beautifully restored and is filled with interesting art, set in gorgeous gardens. The two rooms we had were extremely comfortable and spotlessly clean. The whole place is a sanctuary of... More

A truly great place to stay for subtle luxury. Friendly atmosphere in a relaxed upper class colonial style mansion. Big (30x12 feet) swimming pool in beautiful garden. Excellent homemade Indian food. Located near an authentic Indian village.

We knew the week we spent here in January would be special. The other reviews when we booked last year and the pictures at Tripadvisor assured us would have the antidote to a week of New Year partying at Anjuna. What we had not expected was to be treated as a part of the family, with Carmita our host and... More

I travelled to Goa last year and booked into Villa Verde for 2 nights - Carmita and Chonky (her son) were absolutely fabulous hosts, from the moment I arrived I felt like one of the family, so much so, I ended up staying an extra 3 nights. The property is a lovingly restored Goan colonial villa set in lush gardens,... More

We stayed at Villa Verde for 6 days at the beginning of December and couldn't recommend it highly enough. It's a beautifully restored house in a lovely peaceful village in Southern Goa with pretty grounds and a great swimming pool all to yourself! But what made the stay really special was the welcome and care given by Carmita and Oscar.... More

I spent 6 nights with Carmita and Oscar in their wonderful house. This is a guest house in the original sense, you really are guests of the owners, you feel very much at home, rather than like a hotel. Not only is the house beautiful, it is spotlessly clean. Carmita is a wonderful cook, she is even willing to share... More

We stayed with Carmita (owner) and Oscar (son) for 4 days in end of November before traveling to Mumbai. Oscar came with taxi driver to pick up us from airport and from the first moment we felt like being part of family. We were looking for a quiet and relaxing stay, far from the touristic part of Goa and this... More

I had a very special and wonderful stay at Villa Verde, what a delight to be in an authentic place with such an interesting and charming hostess! The house is beautiful & spotlessly clean, the food delicious and the welcome from Carmita most memorable. I loved being there, it was such great atmosphere and most relaxing, I cannot wait to... More
