Seclude Falling Cashews, Goa

A sleepy Goan Village, a bird sanctuary, an 80 year old Portuguese villalovingly restored, a love story, an abandoned boat now made into an outdoorbed, A mango tree overpowering the garden, a balcao, a lily pond, a naturalpool, a fresh seafood catch meal, a zillion stars and a bright moon visiblefrom the glass roof openings, the sounds of ripe cashews falling from thetree onto a tiled roof and of course... You.Break away from your city life with its nerve jarring noises, grime and thatconstant annoying feeling that you are getting late for an appointment orforgetting something important. Shift gears and get to the Goan ‘susegad’ wayof life, for a few days.So now, most of Goa has become synonymous with crazy beach parties, clubs,noise, traffic, loud music et al just like any other city.  A chilledout and laid back, content existence is nowhere to be seen on the tourist map.The original Goan villas with their heavily borrowed Portuguese architecture havegiven way to modern apartments and houses.So here is a secret...Seclude Falling Cashews, Chorao, Goa... So secretive thatlot of locals don't even know where it is.
