House for Rent at Moira
If you are looking for a barefoot, chic, relaxed haven – with everything catered for so you do not have to do or worry about a thing during your stay, our Goa Hideaway is for you.
Goa Hideaway is a substantial old Portugese property in a rural setting in the hills of North Goa. It’s located near a village called Moira, just off the quiet road which leads from Mapusa to Aldona. There is a temple and a few locals living close by, so this is where real Indian life goes on.
The house itself is huge and very spacious, and has been fully renovated to a high standard, in keeping with the local architecture. It is set in private grounds with its own Mango tree, Palms, a Cashewnut tree and a very sexy pool!
Just relax and enjoy the peace. It is a quiet area, but with village life around you. There are parrots, eagles, water buffalo, cows and even an elephant that lives close by and who you will often see out and about. If you are sitting out at night enjoying the peace, you may hear singing coming from the house nearby, always around 8pm! The scent of burning wood and incense is all around in the evening
Your every need is catered for. Just indulge yourself and relax completely. The house is run and looked after by Max, who will be your house manager and (where humanly possible) will look after your every need. Laundry and all household chores will be attended to – the house is cleaned daily and our houseboy Lucas is there too to look after along with our housepuppy florence (rescue pup) there to snuggle up to.
Dine-at-home service. Dina, Max’s lovely wife, will come and prepare dinner for you and your guests daily should you wish to eat in. Lucas, our houseboy is also a trained chef.
Just treat yourself to a massage or hair and beauty treatment. A wonderful woman, Sweetie, can visit the house on tuesdays should you wish to give the best Indian head massage. She is also fully qualified to offer other massage and ayurvedic treatments, as well as hair and beauty treatments.
Wherever, whenever you wish to explore, a 24-hour taxi service is available. Max also has a great knowledge of the local area should you wish to be shown around, taken to places of interest or just go Fishing or shopping.
ACCOMMODATION
Spacious and chic...
The Dining Hall in the centre of the house is an enormous room – its long table can seat at least 14 for dinner. Hopefully the Karma Sutra painting on the wall will titillate your taste buds!
The kitchen is well equipped and leads out to the Dining Hall.
The huge main family bathroom includes shower, basin and toilet with a bath to be installed for next season.
The four bedrooms:
-Bedroom 1 has an antique double four-poster bed and its own shower.
-Bedroom 2 has a double antique bed with both shower and toilet ensuite.
-Bedroom 3 is a spacious room with two large single beds (which can be combined to make a huge double) and has its own secluded outside shower.(to be added next season)
-Bedroom 4 is an extra room, which serves as library, study, dressing room and massage room, but with a day bed so it can be used as a single bedroom. This is situated inbetween the family bathroom and bedroom 3, therefore creating a separate suite.
Additional sleeping arrangements:
The Dining Hall has two fixed day beds with storage space and screens for privacy should guests wish to accommodate a further two people.
The main Living Hall also has more day beds which could sleep another 2 to 4.
Balcony, pool, and romantic Wedding Tent. Outside, the balcony fronts the house, and also runs the whole length of the side of the house. This is a big space, and should guests wish to sleep under the stars there are day beds here too.
Next to this balcony is the pool is and, next to the pool, a Rajahstani Wedding tent–actually a permanent structure. Here a further few guests could choose to sleep, or a couple wishing to be alone in a very romantic space of their own. The house is lit by many lanterns (as well as conventional lighting of course) and the high-powered, silent ceiling fans will keep you cool.
Film/fashion shoots and wedding parties
The house is also a great base for film location/fashion shoots. As well as the house, the verandah and its gorgeous pool, there are fantastic locations in the vicinity which Max can show you. And all this is bathed in the beautiful Goan light. At the end of the lane by the temple, there is ample space to accommodate a number of large trucks if necessary. Large rickshaws are available to transport equipment. Wedding parties can also be accommodated by special arrangement.

Direction :
Approximately 20 mins from the coast of Calangute, Anjuna and Baga Beaches. If you drive through Mapusa until you find the N17 highway facing you, then you pass straight accross and take the first left . . this is the road to Aldona. Continue on this road until you come to the end of a straight stretch of road with Paddy fields on both sides and open countryside. Just as this straight part of road ends take the 1st or 2nd turning. first turning has bus stop on right and a sign for 'Old Peoples Home' on left (No thats not it!!) Go straight ahead - you will pass St Xaviers school almost directly on your left and the third turning on your left is our lane. A hundred metres our large white, colonial house is waiting for you.
If you take the 2nd turning on the left after long stretch of straight road , you will find this an almost hidden turning with a small white chapel on the corner of the turning. go ahead for short time and you will see St Xaviers School ahead of your. Turn right at the school and, again, it is the third left after the school.
If you want to avoid Mapusa, then from the coast take the bypass before Mapusa which will bring you onto the N17. the turning to Aldona is on the right some 1/2 mile further on at a fairly busy intersection. (there are fruit sellers on the turning right and a woodyard on the left before you turn.
