Profile
This idyllic location is one of North Goa’s very much sought after holiday destinations. This elegant Portuguese style guest house was bought in 1985 while still under reconstruction. The work was completed by 1988 to make it the splendid guest house it is today.
This Magnificent Guest House was built with a Portuguese colonial mansion in mind, but taking a few creative liberties, to form a rare blend of poetic architecture. Colonial and Indian antiques mix with comfortable cane furniture to create the perfect luxury for your holiday in Goa. The guest house is situated at the end of a valley, cutting into the headlands, surrounded by the Arabian Sea and the Mandovi river. The area is ideally suited for walks and bird watching. The 16th century portuguese Fort Aguada is a 10 minute stroll up the hill. The nearest beach is also just a 10 minute walk away. Transportation in the form of rented bikes, cars, jeeps, or taxis is ready available, to explore the more distant reaches of Goa’s beauty.
Marbella houses 3 very stylish suites and 3 spacious rooms. Both suites and rooms have en-suite bathrooms, air conditioning, and Wifi. The team works hard to welcome you to their guest house and are always at your service to ensure your stay at the guest house is memorable. The elegant dining areas are the perfect place for a romantic or social meal. The menu at the Marbella caters for breakfast, lunch and dinner serving a wide variety of western and Indian delicacies and is happy to cater for your personal taste.
