We stayed here for five nights after a pretty exhausting fortnight of touring India - this was to be the winding-down part of the holiday, and it didn't fail to deliver. In fact, the setting was so lovely that we only left the hotel for one afternoon to do some shopping and sightseeing. We are not really beach people and... More

For anyone who lives in Mumbai Goa is the ideal short holiday or weekend destination. I had probably visited Goa at least a dozen times over the last few years. Have stayed in South Goa, Candolim, Calangute, Anjuna and in hotels ranging from the usual 5 stars to the small shacks. Nothing prepared me for 'Casa Colvale' though. Getting past... More

A highly memorable holiday for all the right reasons. James and his super team made us feel like valued guests from the moment we arrived at his fantastic boutique hotel set on the river, well off the beaten track, in Goa.   The property is superb, with the feel of a large private villa. Each of the rooms has its... More

For us a wonderful start of visiting Goa to be followed by... More

James was an absolute gent, and gave us the best room in the hotel. We only stayed one night but it was the highlight of the holiday. Food and service were first class.

We spent here our last day after travelling around South India. We were looking for a place to chill befor we had to go back to work and found the perfect place for it. It's incredibly quiet, the staff extremely friendly and the place really clean. Of course, small improvements could be done (as tiles in our room were broken),... More

It was our first stay at this hotel in Goa…and the experience was fantastic. We booked our travel through antilogvacations.com, a wholesaler in Goa packages and they arranged everything from booking of tickets to our arrival at the hotel…making it a convenient consumer friendly experience. What made the experience memorable : ~ The location of the hotel, the natural beauty... More
