Villa Donna
Goa
From ₹6,752/ night
A heritage-style stay in the Fontainhas quarter of Panaji, among the colorful lanes of the Latin quarter.
Goa's small hotels fall into two groups: heritage houses in the old Latin quarter of Fontainhas, and quiet villas and cottages among the palms and paddy fields of the north and south coasts. The state has a strong Portuguese legacy, visible in its pastel mansions, white churches and cuisine.
Where to stay
Panaji (Panjim) suits travelers who like walking old streets and eating in local cafes. North Goa has the beaches and the nightlife, while South Goa is calmer, with long empty sands and a few well-designed eco-retreats.
