Mansao Curtorim - A CGH Earth SAHA Experience, South Goa

Food is excellent.

Le charme de la maison, le choix des meubles anciens de qualité, l’ambiance intime, le personnel qui vieille sur nous, la cuisine. Un lieu parfait pour sortir des entiers battus avec une expérience unique dans la campagne de Goa.

Rien nous avons passé un excellent moment.

Quiet idyllic Retreat , perfect for letting you’re thoughts wonder and rest . It’s got an English countryside charm with an Indian twist .

Nothing

Nice interiors with lots of books

Very expensive for the service provided. Not value for money. Staff were hurrying up to close breakfast although no other guests were in property.

Lovely 200 year old heritage mansion set in a sleepy Waddo (hamlet), beside a small lake and verdant paddy fields. There are large comfortable rooms with verandahs, a stately communal dining room, a well appointed common living room / library and a courtyard with another outdoor dining space. Evening tea is served in the garden in front, facing a large lawn and the lake. The food is delicious, enhanced with local pao sourced from the Poder who goes house to house every morning and evening, honking on their horns to announce the arrival of fresh off the oven bread (discovered the true meaning of “give us this day our daily bread” 😋). The staff are locals and all wonderful people who take good care of you. This is truly a hidden gem in the quieter side of Goa and a haven for those wanting to unwind, slow down and experience the true Goan life.

When we went they hadn’t got a bar licence yet, so one can get caught out if unprepared. Remember to carry your own booze.

Good looking property with old Portuguese charm in a small village setting.

The bed was extremely uncomfortable, and the room had virtually no soundproofing. Continuous dog barking from 2 a.m. and a rooster crowing from around 3:30 a.m. made it impossible to get any sleep.

Lovely period property

A/C was very loud keeping us awake

The hospitality and the warmth of the place is amazing.

Experience was exceptional.

I stayed for one night at Mansao Curtorim – A CGH Earth SAHA Experience, and from the moment I arrived, I felt as though I had stepped back in time, in the very best way. The setting is exceptional, a beautifully restored ancestral Goan home with unique antique wooden furniture, spotless rooms, and shared spaces that invite you to slow down rather than rush through. The balcão, shared living room space, and garden areas are all impeccably maintained and full of quiet character. The architecture was a major reason I chose to stay here, and it exceeded expectations, authentic, elegant, and deeply atmospheric. The village surroundings are tranquil, with birdsong and a sense of calm that’s increasingly rare. What truly set this stay apart was the feeling of being a guest, not a customer. While still en route to the property in my driver’s car, I received a phone call asking what I might like for lunch. That small but thoughtful gesture set the tone for everything that followed. Time genuinely slowed down here. The food was a highlight. I didn’t even look at a menu. After a brief conversation about dietary requirements, I simply trusted the kitchen, and I was rewarded with beautifully prepared, traditional Goan dishes. Not knowing what would arrive next only enhanced the experience. Each meal felt home style, confident, and deeply local, I was born in Ireland, and this was important to me as a tourist in India for the 2nd year in a row. I want to make special mention of Mr. Nazeem Shaikh, the manager, who embodies the spirit of this place. He sat with me during check in, and we had a warm, unhurried conversation about what I hoped to get from my stay and my time in South Goa. He was calm, attentive, thoughtful, and exceptionally well informed. He assisted with arranging private transport, offered excellent local recommendations, and consistently anticipated needs without ever being intrusive. One small example says everything.

Lovely property. Old portuguese heritage villa that is very well maintained. The perfect place to to relax and unwind if you looking for quiet, peaceful break. Excellent service from the staff. They looked after us very well. The food was very good. We had a good fish thali for lunch.

Nothing. We enjoyed our stay. Not the place if you are looking for access to a swimming pool, beach.

An exceptional place to rest, recharge and enjoy South Goa. The attention to the beauty of the physical environment of the villa, the service provided and the food made for memorable moments daily!

The location is beautiful! It’s peaceful and calm. One can come to Goa to experience just the Slow life “Susegad” here in Curtorim. Rooms are spacious & clean. The lunch Thalis ( Fish) are excellent and cooked using locally sourced ingredients! The crockery for every meal is different and beautiful, the table settings done by the team is on point! Since I was celebrating my birthday here the team got me a lovely cake and a bouquet!

Dinner options were not that great! Except for the Portuguese style potato soup! They should have more variety!

The location was calm, cut off from hustle and bustle of the city and peaceful. It was remote and surrounded by a quaint village, beautiful church and a lake.

The place needs a pool (which I understand is work in progress), and maybe inhouse bike rentals.

A tranquil, lush escape from tourist Goa! Scenic 200year old Portuguese villa with garden views, vintage furniture, art decor and library. Ingredients for food are grown on the property or secured locally. Saliuddin, Priscilla, Melvira and Nazeem were very helpful.

Being at a distance from popular tourist sites, be sure to keep a car with you for the day, if venturing out for sightseeing.

Outstanding...everything was superlative. The food, staff......

Love the renovation done for the 200yr old Portuguese villa. Amazing hospitality by the manager. Nazeem and his team. Beautiful location with great walks around the place. Beautiful Goan monsoon experience

Tucked away in the heart of Curtorim village, right across from a serene lake, this homestay is a hidden gem far from Goa’s usual hustle and bustle. Waking up to the sight of professional photographers capturing a stunning array of birds was a treat in itself. The property carries a rich history—an incredible 230-year-old structure lovingly restored, seamlessly blending the old with the new. The atmosphere is surreal yet deeply comforting, making you feel instantly at home. The hospitality is outstanding—the staff are warm, simple, and exceptionally courteous. The food was another highlight; despite being vegetarian, I thoroughly enjoyed every meal. The freshly made poi and flavorful gravies for breakfast were an absolute delight. While having your own vehicle is ideal, we had no trouble getting a car arranged swiftly with Nazeem’s help. Every moment at this place was fantastic—an experience we won’t forget!

It’s a beautiful property , there was nothing which you would not like.

I loved the location and the property itself being a heritage Portuguese architecture home. The interiors were also nicely done keeping the cultural and traditional aspects of the house. The staff were courteous and always available to assist and help. Overall it was a pleasant stay that felt like home.

Nothing in particular.

Warm friendly staff, stunning villa, peaceful and away from the crowd, very clean. Amazing personalised service by the chef. Big rooms and comfy beds.

Limited food options, no bar, compulsory outdoor dining, no indoor dining, mosquito issues at the dinning area inspite of the efforts by staff.

The property is nestled in a peaceful and scenic location, making it a perfect retreat for people who love to be surrounded with nature.
