Find hotels near Aldona in Goa, India

I was travelling solo for the 1st time and had left for Goa with alot of excitement and some apprehensions as well. And no other family and home stay experience would have been better than Amaral's Cancio's house to make me feel comfortable and make me fall in love with the real Goa. Roberto and Raquel are the best hosts I have ever come across. They have a beautiful ancestral 500-year-old Goan-Portuguese home. Its located in the sleepy village of Aldona far from the crowded and touristy beaches. I felt at home the moment I entered their home. Roberto took me around showing me the true culture and essence of Goa. From visiting an old bakery to kayaking in the backwater creek amongst the mangroves to jumping in fresh water well to enjoying a motor boat ride in the backwaters everything was so mesmerizing. Raquel's cooked delicious Goan food and the mouthwatering desserts are to die for. And you cannot miss the yummy homemade wine prepared by Roberto. Roberto and Raquel have a wonderful sweet family with their 3 handsome and adorable sons, their lovely mother and 2 cute dogs. You will be welcomed by all very warmly. Thank you Roberto and Raquel to make my stay the most comfortable and memorable one. I went there solo but returned with heartwarming memories and some amazing friendships. I will visit you again soon.
