Villa Verde

A flower garden leads to the entrance of Villa Verde, clustered around a rectangular courtyard with a swimming pool. On its deck, paved with hand-cut white sandstone from Udaipur, sits a pergola with a dining area surrounded by flowers and plants. One of the pastel green heritage doors lining the courtyard leads into a spacious living area with hand-cut white and yellow zigzag flooring and exquisite ancient stone elephants. Villa Verde is one of the best private luxury villas in Goa with massive arches separate the dining area, where an ancient cupboard embedded with glass paintings sits next to a white-wood dining table with matching cane chairs. Across from the pool are three bedrooms and a study. One of them has seamless honey flooring and antique twin beds embellished with paintings. Another has blue-grey flooring that continues in a deeper tone in the bathroom, with an antique oval dressing table that serves as the counter top. Up a flight of stairs is the master bedroom with Juliette balconies that offer the perfect place to soak in Villa Verde’s vintage charm.
