I had an amazing stay at this beautiful colonial house, White Balcao. The rooms were spacious and the beds were super comfy. The staff was really helpful and friendly, making sure all my requests were taken care of. The location was also great, in the heart of Fontainhas, with a lovely little cafe attached. The maps provided were really helpful. I absolutely loved the goan breakfast served here, it was yummy!

Nothing to fault! 😊
