The Sand Castle has one of the most desirable locations in Goa, just a few steps from the sea.
The most recent owner was originally a Parisian antiques dealer who drove from France to India in a Volkswagen bus in 1973 and stayed behind. Her 40-year love affair with Goa led her to hunt down and restore this gorgeous Indo-Portuguese home.If you're looking for an intimate and luxurious place to stay in the beautiful Candolim area of North Goa, the Marqués is the perfect balance of luxury and privacy. Located strategically in close proximity to popular tourist areas, the luxury villa is not far from the popular joints, but still exclusive enough to remain isolated from the hustle and bustle. It features an outdoor infinity pool overlooking the lovely riverfront. Almost all parts of the villa including the bedrooms, feature stunning views. |
There are four bedrooms in the main house and two in a cozy garden cottage, all filled with splendid antiques she collected over the years.
She once made chandeliers out of ping-pong balls for the Jean Paul Gaultier boutique in Paris, had a lovely eye and an idiosyncratic touch; in a sitting room, a vintage photograph of a couple embracing in front of the Taj Mahal hangs above an antique side table on which sits a 1980s plastic radio. We love the green and blue rooms at the front of the house, both with four-poster beds. The decor is an effortless blend of vintage and modern. As can be expected in this day and age, everything everywhere has air con. Vertical Divider
