Arco Iris, Goa, India
Goa homestay offering beach and bird watching experience
"Arco Iris”, meaning "Rainbow" in Portuguese is a 100 + year old elegantly restored colonial house built on a sprawling, terraced, 1.5 acre property. It overlooks a seasonal lake and is about a Km from the Zuari river. The proximity to the lake and the abundant greenery in and around the property ensures a scenic ambience right through the year.
Arco Iris is located in Curtorim, a quiet village in South Goa, about 7kms from Margao. The village is dotted with seasonal lakes and paddy fields and is often referred to as the “Granary of Goa”. Besides being popular with bird watchers as a destination and the attendant photo shoot opportunities that it affords, Curtorim and its adjoining villages house several places of historical interest.
The house, with a built up area of around 7,000 sq feet, comprises an foyer,living room, dining room, five bedrooms with en suite bathrooms (four on the ground floor and one on the first floor), lounge, library, fully equipped modern kitchen, utility area, two store rooms and accommodation for the support staff. Three of the bedrooms open into private balconies. It also has a “balcao” (balcony) and gallery in front and a courtyard in the rear.
