Villa Summertime perches on a hilltop just outside Calangute overlooking paddy fields and a lush tropical garden. It is a rare luxury villa which enjoys two acres of private gardens, shared with birds, butterflies and tranquility which is fast disappearing even from Goa. There is a large infinity pool which overlooks the gardens and the valley, a waterfall and a koi pond.
At Summertime space is a luxury in itself. Inside, a double-height living-dining area is filled with light and breeze. The three generous master suites – identical in size but charming and individual in character – have large dressing areas, palatial bathrooms and choicest of furniture sourced from travels to Bali and places in India. Fully staffed with a cook, gardeners and security.
Summertime is the perfect place for a family or a group of friends to relax and recharge their batteries. Though the villa has been designed to give six guests a private, serene experience, the views it commands and its abundance of delightful nooks are what make this luxury villa such a perfectly romantic getaway as well.
For that reason, Summertime has just been awarded Asia’s Best Romantic Boutique Retreat 2016, a global award presented by World Boutique Hotel Awards and that for a villa not designed by professional hoteliers, but by two fans of travel (and Goa!) who simply wanted to share the Goa they knew, in a manner that was natural, private and relaxing, but also sumptuously comfortable
