Stain Glass Cottage

We had a most wonderful stay here. The vegetarian food was divine and included delicious fruit with the breakfast on the delightful outside patio. We made use of the car plus driver to visit wonderful destinations like Palolem and see the Goan countryside. Our room and shower were most comfortable. We walked to Colva Beach each morning, had lunch there and took a tuk tuk home! The staff were friendly and the place was spotlessly clean.

This house is around 2KMs from Colva beach. The house is nicely decorated. Rooms are also very clean. The owner doesn't stay in this. There is a couple who take care of this place in terms of service, cleaning etc. Don't expect a home stay type stay here. As far as food, snacks, milk for kids etc is charged at a good price. Also if you bring your own food and use their dining table and ask the staff to serve that there is a service charge which might be correct but my expectation was of a home stay. Breakfast was horrible for all 3 days we stayed there. So again its not a bad property for staying as its very nice and clean but don't expect service like a home stay ( more like a 3 star hotel)

My friend and I stayed here in February 2015. The Homestay is quite far out from the main town of Colva. An AutoRickshaw will cost you about 100R/- to get there and it's about 25 minutes walk from the main town of Colva. The live in staff called Bonnie and Brenda couldn't be more helpful. The owner of the property is called Maria. We were paying for bed and breakfast but Maria's breakfast will cost you extra. The reason being is that that on the first morning she asked very nicely if we would like to order anything special for breakfast for the next morning, like special breads, fruit, yogurt. We said yes that would be very nice, thank you.This was said without her saying that it would cost extra. On the second last morning she mentioned that there would be a bill for breakfast but just for tax. We said that was fine. The next morning we were presented with a bill for 1,350R/- for the special breads,fruit, yogurt, which we refused to pay. The rest as they say is history.
