About this property

Saudades Beach Bungalow - Spacious, Cozy, Fully- Serviced Villa with Pool & Gym.

The SAUDADES BEACH BUNGALOW is a modern beach Villa planted in rustic, village surroundings - Perfect for a getaway holiday. An abundance of trees around the house with clusters of plants bordering the compound wall creates a hideaway ambiance; And Open Spaces for Sun Bathing. The sands of the Candolim beach is less than 100 mtrs away; the Swimming Pool & Gym facilities are next door. 24 hours water and a back-up electrical system ensures an uninterrupted holiday. Unbelievable and abundant amenities, at no extra cost, make this beach house a perfect and chore-free holiday stay.

The interior of the House is tastefully done up with no fake frills yet very attractive and blends well with the village environment. All Three bedrooms, with bathrooms en-suite, are upstairs ensuring undisturbed sleep. All Bedrooms have Satellite LED TVs. Best of all: All bedrooms have spacious attached terraces.

The Vacation Rental is meant for a family/friends holiday stay and the extra spaces of a private house help in providing an uncrowded environment. This house ofcourse goes one step better with the Lounge area and the Garden sit-out - Both perfect for the gang partying it up together.

The Saudades is a contemporary villa and as such the Bedrooms have all the necessary trappings of a modern house: En-suite Bathrooms, Geysers, Bathtubs, Air-Conditioners, Satellite TVs, High Speed Wi-Fi Coverage, Ceiling Fans, Etc. The Beds have 10 inch mattresses, which are both firm and comfy; Duvets with Silkenised Fillers and 400 TC Damask Cotton Duvet Covers; and a pair each of both soft and firm pillows.

The Hall, Sitting room, Dining area and a fully-equipped, modern Kitchen are downstairs. The sitting place has a LED TV with a satellite connection, a DVD player and a small book shelf for the avid reader. The Kitchen is modern and fully-equipped with Two fridges, Microwave, OTG, Toaster, Sandwich Maker, Coffee Percolator, Rice and Milk Cookers, Water Purifier, Cooking Hobs and every conceivable item you would need and more; And perennially stocked with Tea, Ground Coffee, Sugar and Salt. Annexed to the house is the much favored Covered Lounge Area and the Open Garden area. You choose where you want to party. You can also choose where you dine: Inside the house or at the additional outside dining space next to the kitchen - Alfresco.

Downstairs there is an additional full-fledged bathroom that serves as a wash-room and comes in handy if you have downed one too many beers. Outside there is a shower, to get rid of the sand from the beach, and an additional tiny bathroom. The best part is that the owners have been generous and refrained from adding an extra bedroom downstairs and instead provided a larger living area that makes for a far more comfortable stay and very spacious for family and friends to gather downstairs.

All in all, it's a laid-back place - homey, cozy and unpretentious. And to make your holiday perfect and chore-free, we provide you a long list of necessary amenities at no extra cost:

big house near beach
This is a big house; 3 double bedrooms all with ensuite bathrooms. Lots of different rooms downstairs, both inside & out. Good useful space for relaxing both inside & outside. Well equipped kitchen although there is a microwave but no oven. Washing machine is locked away so only maid can use which was odd to us as western Europeans. Very handy for walking to beach & off main road so fairly quiet
Stayed 4 nights in Nov 2023

lovely house in great position
This is a lovely house in a great position. It is between Calangute and Candolim so offers great access to both. It is minutes from the beach that has some really nice beach shacks. Henry the owner is always there to help when needed, he really wants you to have the perfect stay. The maid comes in twice daily and keeps the house spotlessly clean as well as doing all the washing and ironing. Even when the power goes down in the rest of the area you will still have power from the generator that kicks in, which was a blessing. Taxis are easy to get from the house as there is a taxi rank just a few yards from the house as well as small shops, fruit and veg stall and the use of the hotel pool just a few minutes away. All of the rooms are a good size with both ceiling fans and very efficient air conditioning. There is everything you need in the kitchen if you choose to cook including a water purifier which was a real bonus (no lugging home water bottles). We arrived in the early hours of the morning and was greeted by Henry who was kind enough to have the coffee on and a fridge stocked with beer! So what we wanted after the long flight! Henry and his lovely wife went out of their way to make this a perfect stay and even popped in with a lovely cake for Christmas, I would definitely go back to this house again if ever I went back to the area.

Beautiful House
Where do I start, Henry was a great host from the beginning, answered all my questions and we originally booked for 7 days but ended up checking in 3 days earlier as we were unhappy with our 1st house, he accomodated us immediately which was excellent. The house is beautiful, gorgeous outside areas and our lady that came in daily was lovely. She kept the house spotless was never in our space but always available. The linen and towels were excellent quality. All in all it was a lovely house would return and recommend. Henry was a great host throughout checking during our stay that all was ok.

Why they chose this property

Bought the bungalow as a second home for the kids to escape the city life on week-ends and get far away from the madding crowd. Loved the beachside location, and the predominantly residential area. Also unlike many beachside locations in Goa, this one was quite and not commercially loud. The family was sold on the village atmosphere and abundance of trees and plants - That Hideaway Feel that city folks cherish. And as a bonus, it came with Resort facilities, provided by the Resort next door. Although located at the beach the house was close to all necessary establishments. The sands of the clean and un-crowded Candolim beach less than 100 metres away. A 15 minutes walk along the beach gets you to the center of the famous Calangute beach. So if you want to hit the clubs the neighbouring villages of Calangute and Baga are not too far.
