“Well it's been a few months now since we stayed at Vijay's home in Siolim, Goa and we only look back on our stay with amazing memories and a desire to go back! Vijay's home is stunning, the interiors are beautiful and exactly as the photos suggest, the gardens are landscaped and the setting was the most beautiful we had seen in Goa. The only thing you can't get a sense of from the photos is the serenity of the terrace - looking out over rice fields, with the very welcome breeze and all the birdlife and water buffalo's grazing, it's the perfect place for a G&T as the sun goes down. Vijay's home is a piece of paradise in Siolim, away from the craziness of some of the more built up beaches of Goa. We used the driver Vijay recommended daily to visit the beaches and to take us to dinner - he was very knowledgable and reliable. We also dined at restaurants recommended by Vijay and they were excellent - our favourite was Thalasa, which is a must and probably would have dined there more, except we went on our last night! This was our first LHS experience and from the first contact through to the end of our stay it couldn't have gone better. Thanks so much Vijay - we would love to come back when, not if, we come back to India:)”
