Six-room boutique hotel in a historic Portuguese villa in South Goa
Property & History
The Postcard Cuelim, Goa occupies a former residence of Dr. T. B. Cunha, the father of Goan nationalism, and is set on a quiet estate surrounded by paddy fields and tall palms. The property retains a 350-year-old chapel on the premises, two in-house chapels in total, along with original Portuguese architectural elements. Only six rooms are available, giving guests a private, unhurried experience in a historic home.
Accommodation
Each of the six rooms offers a private outdoor area with a patio or balcony overlooking the gardens or paddy fields. Rooms are spacious and furnished with antique furniture, four-poster beds, and large bathrooms with modern fixtures. The Premier Suite with Patio includes a separate sitting room, dressing room, and a large cool veranda.
Dining
The hotel's restaurant serves authentic Goan dishes prepared by local chefs, using fresh ingredients and offering off-menu options upon request. Breakfast is available anytime - a 24-hour breakfast policy - and can be served on the guest's private terrace or in the main dining room. Guests can also enjoy cooking classes and sample local specialties like Balchao, which the chef may pack as a take-home gift.
Wellness & Activities
Traditional Ayurvedic treatments from certified experts are available on-site, along with a sun terrace and outdoor swimming pool. The property offers badminton equipment, a billiards room, bicycle rental, and walking tours through the surrounding village and paddy fields. Guests can borrow bicycles to reach nearby beaches like Cansaulim, Arossim, and Velsao, all within a short ride.
Location & Services
The hotel is located in the rarely visited Cuelim neighborhood, 2.2 km from Cansaulim Beach and 10 km from Dabolim Airport. Guests benefit from round-the-clock check-in and check-out, 24-hour front desk, and a staff-to-guest ratio of four staff per room.
