Quinta Margarida Beach-side Traditional Villa home stay

A very special stay with Dr Pinto and his wonderful family. It’s a hidden gem, very close to the beach. A great experience especially for animal lovers. Spacious, tastefully done rooms with antique furniture in a peaceful natural environment. Will definitely return.

A natural oasis of sorts in the midst of Candolim. Lush greenery everywhere with special care to ensure it shines in a natural way rather than just trying to cater to an 'aesthetic'. The owners are all very warm and friendly and you can see their love for the plants and especially the animals. The most adorable huskie whom you must give scratchies, along with 4 fluffy persian cats, several dogs and even 2 horses! Not to mention the aviary with bunnies and ducks. Take the time to do justice to the place and be with nature while also being no more than two minutes walking from the beach. The rooms are amazing as well, not to mention the many unique things that catch one's eyes as you walk around the property.

Here is a unique gem, an oasis in the heart of Candolim. We were welcomed by the Pinto family with warmth, generosity and hospitality. Admire the blue Portuguese style home then retreat to a room with balcony views. Relax under the enormous banyan tree, watch the menagerie of domestic animals wander around their natural kingdom, hear the striped squirrels and birds squawking in the canopy of branches. If you like a natural environment with rustic edges then this place is for you. Despite its proximity to the beach, tourist stalls and eating places you will be surprised how easy it is to forget the bustle and take in the atmosphere of the farm with all the charming details of a cared for family home. Night time is lit by fairy lights, you can sit out on the patio benches accompanied by Queenie the husky, discuss the day's adventures, hear stories about the animals who live here and feel part of a very special family.

Congratulations ! You will not be disappointed if you book here. This was a fabulous place to stay for many reasons. Nino and her family went above and beyond to make this a wonderful experience for us. This is a beautiful old Goan property modernised to enable tourists to have a fabulous experience. The family have an absolutely beautiful setting here and this is an experience for those interested in experiencing a part of the traditional Goan life. Picture fairly lights in the coconut trees, 2 horses that are allowed to roam on the beach a few mins walk from the property and dogs Queenie and Black.It is an experience with a family that are now friends for life. They also have their own organic vegetable garden on the grounds .There is a beautiful comfortable room with lovely old Goan tiling and the mod cons of a fridge, water filter and hot water.It is safe with a 24/7 caretaker and the location is very quiet which is a fantastic find in Goa.You are still minutes from the shops,restaurants and cafe's as minutes from the beach and the little shacks available for refreshments. I hope you enjoy it as much as we did and the photos on the site to not do it justice. It is truly magical. My photos are on my phone and I will try and get them added.

Tucked away in the enchanting heart of Candolim, this rustic haven is a true sanctuary for those yearning to escape the chaos of contemporary life. The untouched natural splendor of the surroundings exudes tranquility, providing guests with a genuine sense of rejuvenation throughout their stay. What truly distinguishes this retreat is its unwavering commitment to preserving the region's natural biodiversity, offering a rare opportunity to immerse oneself in the unspoiled charm of the locale. Adding to the allure of this retreat is the exceptional hospitality of its owner, Ninoschka.

The prospect of encountering a family of peacocks adds a touch of enchantment to the overall experience. In essence, this retreat is a breath of fresh air, presenting a distinctive amalgamation of natural beauty, warm hospitality, and a pet-friendly ethos. Ninoschka's dedication to curating a harmonious space where guests can reconnect with nature sets this place apart as an exceptional choice for a revitalizing getaway.

Absolutely enjoyed my stay! Nino was such a great host. The entire family is very welcoming and supportive. Nino suggested a bunch of places to visit nearby and made us taste all the local delicacies. The beach is just a couple minutes away from here. It is a farm stay and is very peaceful. The best part is they have a bunch of lovable animals - horses, ducks, dogs, cats and a lot of em! I'd wholeheartedly recommend this peaceful farmstay for anyone looking for an accomodation around Candolim or North goa.
