Afonso Guest House

Very clean room, amenities and facilities are as described. Shubham ,nipesh and Saurabh did a good job to keep our house clean. Swimming pool was not crowded after 5pm and weather was still good. Restaurant Bld services was also impressive, very responsive and above all food was good

This is such a lovely quaint place right in the heart of Panjim, very convenient. This place is like home, neat & super clean. Beds are comfortable, bathroom/toilet is clean. No mosquitos. the place is done up so tastefully. Jeanette is such a lovely host and always helpful. Clifton has made a beautiful botanical garden, so mesmerizing.

Really attractive from the outside and a lovely roof terrace however some of the interior decoration could do with a little attention. Very close to the old Portuguese area so an interesting area. Breakfast was served on the terrace but there was no choice and the boa bun, which I was assured was gluten free, turned out not to be.....I suffered subsequently!

A charming, quiet, and beautiful guesthouse in historic Fontainhas, the old Latin Quarter. It is within walking distance of most of the sites in old Panjim, as well as the floating casinos if you're a gambler. The proprietors, Jeanette Afonso and her son Clifton, are friendly and helpful, even with last minute taxi arrangements. Breakfast on the plant-filled terrace provides views as well as excellent coffee and poee bread with your omelet. The neighborhood, because it is beautiful, does get a fair number of walking tours and wedding shoots (or couples just into themselves enough to hire a team of photographers to follow them around), but that doesn't distract from its charm. Besides, in ten minutes you can be gawking at the Church of Our Lady of the Immaculate Conception, browsing for books in Singbal's Book House, or eating puri bhaji at Cafe Tato.

Jeanette is the best host, made me feel so welcome. I had a clean, spacious room. Every day a delicious breakfast was served on the roof terrace, which was replete with bright, vibrant flowers and the sound of birdsong. Jeanette's advice was second to none too - she told me of a shortcut to the lovely Cafe Bodega in Altinho and also the best bus to reach Candolim beach. I can't wait to return :)

Afonso guest house is right in the middle of one of the most picturesque part of Panaji. You can see tourists queueing up on the nearby roads to take all sorts of pictures. The guest house had an excellent old world charm to it. The rooms were cosy for two & had hordes of books. You can literally spend the whole day reading them sitting on a terrace full of beautiful flowers. Afonso madam was very helpful with her knowledge of nearby places. Her recommendations of food & places to visit were spot on. This was one of the highlights of our trip & should be on yours too if you are looking for a quote stay away from the maddening crowds of Baga & Calangute!
