The Caravela Homestay , goa

Carlos and family make this homestay exceptional. Not only are the rooms clean and comfortable with the usual amenities and a hearty breakfast, but the family are there with information and a local walking guidebook. The ever hospitable Carlos ensures that you are well looked after. We highly recommend this homestay.

Have stayed before. It’s authentic, has a true feel of Old Goa. Boats,spices,Portuguese and pirates. Balcony overlooking traditional lane. Huge rooms. Comfortable, clean, good housekeeping. Breakfast is included in their attached coffee house. Good service and quality food. Carlos the proprietor is a knowledgable and kind host. Huge insight into the culture and history of Panjim and the whole Goan area. Wonderful service provided. Ideally located. Highly recommended

Quirky room in an old building - we liked the way the room was adapted to the space - not your average room. To us the place operates more like a guest house than a homestay - lots of rooms and staff, meals served in a cafe also run by the same people. Room was clean and facilities good.

I’m not sure how to prioritise what I liked best about the Caravela Homestay - Señor Carlos’ hospitality and warmth, the amazing food at the cafe he runs with so much love and attention, the carefully curated coffee he picked for us or the quaintness of his beautiful space. Thank you for making our trip extra special with all the lovely conversation and reading recommendations. If one ever needs to understand how to run a Homestay please do take a crash course with this man...I very strongly rec...

The Caravela Homestay is the pearl of old quarter Panaji. The on-site owner-manager, a pleasant, older, sharp-dressed Indian gentleman, was above-average kind, reasonable, and accommodating. The European-esque, first-floor cafe serves food and drink with care. The building is 200 years old but maintained and located only steps away from the river and a short walk from city center. Glad we found it!
