Unforeseen I passed the residencia Goa visiting the area of Calhau. Just been invited for a coffee in the bar by a friend, I was totally surprised of the peace and tranquility of this small family owned hotel. The earthy architecture of the hotel, the wind protected garden with loungers and hammock, direct views from the rooms and restaurant to... More

we have been traveling quite a lot but staying with Stan and Raphaele is really something special: a really warm, calm and relaxed atmosphere, all time an open ear for questions, and a help whenever you need it. although calhau is a little bit remote on sao vicente, Stan helps you to get to the next restaurant (and back), and...

The rooms are huge and airy; the hotel is directly on a gorgeous beach. The owners, Raphaele and Stanislaus, went out of their way to... More

Impeccable. Tranquil. Stylish. What more could you ask? Well, a sandy beach not far away? (It must be every bit of 10 metres from the residencia.) Interesting walks? (Only if you like extinct volcanoes, deserted beaches, a picturesque village, even a mountain or two.) Good food? (Raphaëlle is a superb cook.) But the real magic of Residencial Goa is the... More

Goa is one of these magic places that you would want to share only with your dear ones. Sometimes it is that good that you would share it even on the internet.
