My family (10 members) spent a week at this lovely villa and thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it. The house is well maintained and very spacious. Kids had a good time in the pool while the adults relaxed in the tranquil gardens. Salam was an excellent cook and always willing to help. Would most definitely visit again and highly recommend this lovely villa and the team that runs it.

Excellent location. Close to Candolim, Calangute and Baga and yet far enough away to remain an oasis of peace and tranquility. The house, gardens and pool are superb; exceeding our wildest expectations. What really made the difference though was Salam, the housekeeper. A great host and excellent cook who looked after our every need, including the speedy facilitation of medical treatment for one of our party. Over the years we've traveled frequently, but never returned to a destination. Why would you, when there is so much more in the world to see? But Goa, Villa Salmona and most of all Salam have changed that. We've only been back two days and we're already planning our return.

We loved the place and the staff was terrific! Lovely location not too far from the beaches but far enough to escape the noise. The Cook, Salaam is an extremely friendly and forthcoming chap. All in all - a great holiday experience for my little family and myself. Thanks a lot.

The villa is beautiful,an idyllic space and now even better with the new kitchen and a/c in the bedrooms.With Salaam(house keeper and chef) being there made the whole experience that much more pleasurable,and like having a 2nd home in Goa.We will definately be coming back and recommend it wholeheartedly.

The housekeeper/chef is brilliant and definately makes the property worth returning for-I am not sure I would otherwise.

The house is beautiful, both architectually and in decor, as is the landscaping. It is very spacious, and had plenty of room for our party of seven. We visited in April, and it was just too hot for our baby. I hadnt realized there was no air conditioning, though I should have, as its a heritage house. I would also recommend new mosquito nets the one in my room had a lot of holes. The housekeeper was amazing he and my three year old son bonded immediately. He may even be greater than the beauty of the house itself. I would love to visit again, but would do so in January or February.

A truly beautiful and unique villa, set in wonderful gardens with a much enjoyed pool. The villa is spacious and offers a welcome cool and relaxing atmosphere. It is also fantastic for children with pool and safe surroundings which makes the holiday even more relaxing for parents. Salam, the housekeeper, spoils you completely with fantastic fresh meals, cups of wonderful ginger and mint tea and enormous hospitality and care to make sure your holiday is truly a fantastic experience. He takes particular care to ensure food is fresh, well prepared and washed with filtered / bottled water. He also took us on wonderful trips including the local markets, buying lobster directly from the fishing boats, beach trips, visits to the Spice Farms, historic villas, "safe" ice cream parlours and restaurants. If you like having your own space, and want to have a unique experience living in a beautiful Villa, you cannot beat Villa Salmona and the welcome of Salam and his staff.

Wonderful times under the chikoo tree, great caretaker and house staff who went above and beyond to make our stay special.

Wonderful property, perfect peaceful setting for a family vacation.

Extraordinary house and grounds, lovely tranquil village setting, truly thoughtful and considerate staff to look after uswe loved it. Thank you for one of the most memorable holidays Ive had in India.
