Overlooking the whitewashed St. Sebastian Chapel, Afonso Guest House is located in the heart of Fontainhas, an old Latin Quarter. Free WiFi access is available. The Panaji Kadamba Bus Station is just 800 metres away.

The hostess is such a nice person. She recommended us a lot of great places and how to get there. The guest house is located in a historic site called Fontainhas, very green and full of coloured houses, just near the chapel of St. Sebastian. The room was very clean and comfortable

Situated in the heritage area of Campal, Vivenda Rebelo is a homestay housed in a refurbished 100-year-old Indo-Portuguese building.

Located in front of Francisco Luis Gomes Garden, the property is about 4 km from Kadamba Bus Station and 12 km from Karmali Railway Station. Dabolim Airport is about 28 km away.

Breakfast was an unexpected bonus and was lovely. I really appreciated that the host let me stay on past the check out time until it was time for me to leave for my overnight train trip. Good location on a quiet tree-lined street.

Situated within 12 km of Basilica Of Bom Jesus and 12 km of Church of Saint Cajetan in Panaji, Celso's Home Stay provides accommodation with free WiFi and a kitchenette. There is a private entrance at the homestay for the convenience of those who stay. The homestay has family rooms.

Everything: best stay ever in India. It’s hard to find an accommodation that will be better than Celso‘s homestay. The owner Joel is very nice. He is so polite and was always there to help. The room was extraordinary. Facing a swamp area, it was quite, while offering a beautiful view with funky birds and farm animals in the morning. The rooms were extraordinary clean and the AC and fans worked very well. The kitchen is very nice, with a fridge and even a water purifier. The bathroom is beautiful! The homestay is located in a very lively, yet off-beat and non-touristy part of Panaji. This makes it very relaxed and down to earth. The connection to the local bus is very good (5-10 min walk), we never really needed a taxi.

The host family living downstairs are friendly, helpful and ready to answer questions.

    This is a lovely homestay in a quiet residential neighbourhood (so Serene indeed) but also convenient for central Panaji. The room is comfortable and spacious. Having a full size fridge/freezer and kettle is great. What really makes it is the host family who are so welcoming and helpful. Full of advice and happy to help organise things. There's a very regular and cheap bus from the stop nearby straight into town and the bus station or you can take cheap taxis.

    Deric was a great host, so welcoming and accommodating. We extended our stay and arrived very late because our flight was delayed. Room was very spacious with a very comfortable bed and super clean. Deric sat with us at breakfast on our first morning and gave excellent local suggestions! Breakfast was lovely aswell, lots of variety to choose from. A lovely homestay, I would stay here again!

The hosts were always available to give suggestions and were very helpful with taxi bookings. Excellent breakfast, with a lot of choice (and with good conversations:-). Beautiful and spotless room.

    Great location in heart of Fontainhas, beautiful old villa that has been modernised to an extent (so all facilities you’d expect) but retains its historic charm and character. Sharon and Roy are really great hosts. They suggested a self guided walking tour, helped us with the short cut to bus station (over a footbridge- 5 mins tops) recommended restaurants, money changer. Basically everything we needed! If you are in two minds as to whether to book this, or the other more famous villas, think no more and book this. You won’t regret it!

    I am from Australia and I felt very comfortable here. The proprietors were so kind, helpful and hospitable. They helped me choose some delicious Goan food frmo their menu, which I ate on their rooftop terrace overlooking the ocean. This is a homestay with the family on the bottom floor and guests on the upper floor. It is relaxed, friendly and safe
