Casa Colvale | Hotel in Chikhli, Goa

“We didn’t want to stay in a big hotel chain, neither did we want to stay in beach shacks or risk an unknown place. Casa Colvale was a great discovery based on Trip Advisor reviews. Located far away from the hustle & bustle of Goa, Casa Colvale is set in idyllic surroundings, on the bank of the Chapora river. Designed more like a huge bungalow, rather than a hotel, it has large open areas on each floor for sitting & dining, large verandahs, terrace and large spacious rooms & bathrooms with all modern amenities. The décor & furniture is quite elaborate, distinctive & antique looking. We stayed in room no 6 in the lower block & had a great view of the river & the bank across. The views from the upper block are restricted. It was so tranquil, even the birds seem to be aware of it & chirped gently & sparingly. We had a very relaxing & restful stay.Breakfast was sumptuous & served on the deck overlooking the river. We had lunch just once – tasty Goan food. There was other Indian food on the menu too. The pool too is lovely & decent sized, right out there on the deck. On the down side, it is quite inland & and therefore a long drive to the beaches / forts / towns. The nearest town is Mapusa.”

“A wonderful peaceful location situated on the banks of the river. Good for bird watching and watching the water buffalos crossing the river daily. All bedrooms are furnished with style, fabulous furniture and wall art. The menu was very limited and only half the menu was available on the 3 nights we stayed. The hotel is in a remote area so you will need to take a cab to the nearest restaurant”

“Earlier I thought that this would be a shabby place; but I was totally surprised when I reached there. So here is the story…. The Hotel is located on the riverfront of the peaceful site ‘Colvale Villege’, Bardez the old town. We requested for an early check-in, it was approved, we request for a late check-out, it was approved also, even on a off season time, some hotel would not have approved it. We were given river view room. The room was specious for three of us. The maintenance was up to the mark specially the cleanliness and temperature. The Best Part---, on our request the hotel staff has arranged a nice candle light dinner with soothing music at our balcony; they really made our evening more than awesome. We enjoyed everything right from its swimming pool, river cruise, Persian library (some must read books / autobiographies and novels) comfortable sofas and reclining chairs. The reception personnel (Mr. Lohiya – OP and Upendra – we call him dharmendar) were very helpful in advise on what to see / visit; which we have never explored in Goa. Breakfast was good, will fresh fruits and juices, choice of eggs, paratha and everything you would want for breakfast. To conclude I recommend this hotel for its unparallel peace and comfort.”

“Casa Colvale is a peaceful location offering great views over the river and glimpses of the local wildlife. The rooms are of excellent quality, the food just as good and service efficient and friendly. Its location might deter those who are looking for beach days and night life, but the views and atmosphere of the place are really addictive and the perfect antidote to the hectic pace of life in India”

“Picture perfect location. Very romantic and home like.”
