Our desire to experience Goan heritage stay lead us to Shanti Morada. Its a restored , renovated property that has history from 1897. It is a beautiful property on a slope, located in quiet neighbourhood surrounded by greenery. The property is well maintained with all facilities for a comfortable stay. Since it has 20 rooms, it is less crowded and quiet. It is very peaceful. The old Goan charm is retained in the dark yellow external walls, tiled roof, wrought iron columns, period furniture, tile patterns on the stairway, well (closed with grill), garden with trees , the Goan windows, door frames and the corridors opening out into the world outside. The attention to details is amazing. The property has a billiards table , a book case with light reading books, clean swimming pool, jacuzzi bar. We found the rooms to be spacious, well ventilated and clean. There is enough parking space. The property story was narrated well by the manager. He and his team were great hosts. The staff are polite , helpful and do their best to make their clients stay comfortable. We got to know them, their life stories and stories of their home towns. We are grateful for the opportunity to engage in conversations with them and learn from them. We enjoyed complimentary breakfast that had variety for vegetarians too. We ate dinner during our stay and explored different cuisine. Tasty food was made to our preferred spice levels. The children loved the safe space , swinging on the indoor period wooden jhula, walking up and down the indoor and outdoor staircases, pool side dinner and breakfast. They were fascinated by the audio Bhagavad Gita. We are glad that we got to experience a peaceful, memorable stay at this beautiful place which was a home to many generations.
