CASA BRITONA

We rented the entire house, and while the photos looked promising — even advertising a river suitable for fishing — the reality was completely different. When we arrived, the house was cool and ventilated, but a strong smell of trapped dust came from the furniture. By evening, I had already started itching from the chairs. We asked for a taxi to take us to a nearby restaurant, and the property sent a driver who didn’t speak English and attempted to take us all the way to Anjuna — an hour away. Luckily, we noticed in time and directed him to the city center ourselves. We had paid for two nights in advance but left after just one. The smell, the atmosphere, and the overall condition of the place were unbearable. The “river” turned out to be a swamp next to the house. On top of that, the house is located just three steps from a busy road, making it unsafe to exit the property — especially for children. There were also serious maintenance and safety issues: faulty and unsafe electricity, a non-functioning toilet pump, missing faucets in the shower and sinks, and no running water at all throughout the night. I felt so unwell from the environment that I ended up vomiting, and there wasn’t even water available to clean up afterward. Overall, this was a very disappointing and unpleasant stay, and absolutely not suitable for families with children.

We had a wonderful time at casa Britona last three days. The place is beautiful with unique art and decorations. We had fun in the pool and enjoyed the outdoor and indoor living spaces. The service was amazing…shout out to Shashank and Rohit who did everything they could to make sure we were comfortable. Samarth who was managing the property was easy to coordinate with and always available. The two ladies that made our food did an excellent job at pleasing a difficult crowd when it comes to food! I really recommend this place - it’s excellent for a big group wanting to spend time together.

The property is very nice for a holiday. The staff is very courteous and the food served is good too. It was our second stay at this villa. However, the chlorine and filteration solution that was added to the swimming pool was not of good quality. Everyone of us got rashes on our body including the kids. This is unacceptable as everytime we got in the pool, we had a bad itching feeling and rash on the skin. This was not expected from a property like this- where we have stayed before!

Hands down one of the best properties I’ve stayed in north goa. We had booked Casa Britona for a Retreat for architects & designers, we called it house of inspiration. Our participants were so happy with the place, hospitality, small services and obviously the team. Every room in this property is spectacular & jaw dropping, the pool adds another charm to it and then the lake view and the sound birds chirping truly feels like a vacation house to be inspired and feel relax. A special thanks to Anubhav & team for the amazing hospitality and smiles.

Amazing villa of 8 rooms by the river. Comfortable place to stay for a family vacation. With Portuguese style interiors and antique style furniture you are bound to fall in love with the place. Also has in-house kitchen with cook, dishing out fantastic breakfast options and other food items. Especially if there are small children, it's great convenient option. Also outside food can be ordered for consumption. Courteous and friendly staff. Kids-friendly place.
