As they say, you can take a Goan out of Goa but not the Goa out of the Goan. I love showing-off the non-commercial side to Goa; from our explorations as kids. There are such gems around: caves, unnamed waterfalls, untouched vintage-charm villages, natural springs, sacred forests & jungles, heritage homes ...I am proud son of the soil & I want you to experience that Goa. My partner Raul Da Costa is born & lived his entire life in the village. He's an expert cook on Goan cuisine, history of Goa but best of all, anecdotes that would put most Goans to shame. He has tended cows & fields, swam rivers, hunted in the jungles, done masonry and been a private guide for 7 years. It's our honour & pride to showcase a vintage world Goa, a Goa aptly sketched by Mario Miranda. We invite you to come along on a loaf with us into a Goa that you would not have imagined. You will walk like a local, talk like a local, eat like a local & chill like a Goan.
