Homestay Casa Menezes - A Heritage Goan Homestay
#304, Gaunkarvaddo Batim, PO Goa Velha, Tiswadi Goa, 403108 Bambolim, India – Great location - show map
The general service was good. The breakfast was great. The overall location of the homestay was wonderful. Quiet and green.

Very nice room, great food, very good Goan specialities, fantastic hosts David and Nicole, room cleaned everyday, tea/coffee available in the room, spacious balcony to relax, Very relaxing atmosphere. Extremely good price for the quality of service!

Casa Menezes offered our family a cosy and charming Goan ambience....tasteful and artistic, there is a homely feel to the place. Every artifact n plant seems to tell their own story....its as if they beckon you into an era gone by..... Celebrating my birthday here makes me feel blessed.... and enrichd.

Wonderful location, very friendly and helpful owner.

It's a beautiful heritage home-stay, in a very green village. The rooms are great, walls thin (as you would expect in any home-stay), well stocked mini-bar, friendly family, and cute dogs. The owner's bar across the road serves good food and drinks, and really great food when there happens to be a village birthday celebration -- we were lucky to enjoy a fun BBQ. And that really made our stay. You'll need to hire a car or scooter if you want to go anywhere.

The hospitality was ultimate Very helpful and warm family.If you want to explore Goa this place is highly recommended as David sent us to places we didn't even know about. This was my fourth visit to Goa and by far the best thanks to David

Beautiful building, every little detail is finished to perfection. Very homely and very clean.

The lovely hosts, Nicole and David turned our stay into a fabulous experience with their hospitality and great suggestions on what to do in the city. They literally helped us to plan each day's itinerary, it was also lovely to spend time with them and learn more about the history of the house and Goa. You would definitely be amazed by the elaboration of the decoration all around the place. Do not forget to have lunch or dinner at their restaurant and try Goan style dishes and cocktails.

Genuine family home, charming family, delicious food, great value, the real Goa!

Loved our stay over Christmas. Particularly enjoyed the food recommendations and the meals we had at the restaurant. Lots of tips on places to visit near by. Bikes made getting around really easy. David and Nicole excellent hosts. David goes above and beyond, taking us to visit the monastery and even for a drive in his mini! The house is beautifully restored to the last detail yet still offers modern day comforts. Highly recommend to anyone seeking a more ‘local’ experience.

David Nathaniel de Menezes
Casa Menezes – The Heritage Home stay of Goa, a home away from home, an experience like no other, nestled in the rustic lush greens of the Batim village, thankfully it is one of those villages in Goa that is still stuck in time, and we don’t intend to change that characteristic feature of this tranquil haven. ‘Come experience True Goan Heritage’ ‘Sala de Kala’ is an Art Gallery and boutique in Casa Menezes, This Heritage Goan Homestay that dates back over 350 years. It oozes out the true cultural heritage and influences of the Portuguese style and architecture, built by Goan artisans and workers over 3 centuries ago. “Sala de Kala” (Hall of Art- is a combination of “Sala” which means Hall in Portuguese and “Kala” which means Art in Konkani, Marathi and Hindi.) showcases Original art by talented and renowned artists from Goa and beyond. It also showcases antiques and other unique pieces of art as well as furniture. Frequent exhibitions are held at the gallery and are open for viewing. There is original Art displayed all around the home, replete with teak, oak and rosewood carved antique furniture, complements original art and virtuoso regal interiors!
David Nathaniel de Menezes, is a young entrepreneur with a passion for design. He has studied Business Management and has specialized in marketing. He chose not to be a part of the 'corporate hangama' and returned to Goa to set up 'innoventions' - a business that takes up design-build contracts and turn-key jobs of interiors. He has worked with many homes, apartments, restaurants, pubs, offices, and retail spaces, but of all these, loves restoration and renovation projects the most. This is probably because of the fact that David and his siblings, Arvind and Rachel, grew up in their ancestral home in Batim. He understands the nitty-gritty of these projects better than most others. His Father Late Balduino Menezes Pereira was a perfectionist and a D-I-Y guy (Do-it-Yourself ),Both Arvind and David learned a lot from him. His Mother Pamela Mascarenhas e Menezes Pereira is his Pillar of strength. His love for Goan heritage and his land drew him closer to fulfilling a dream he had of restoring his palatial home and converting a part of it into a bed and breakfast-homestay, called 'Casa Menezes', for travellers who want to experience the true cultural heritage of Goa.
The Batim village is just 10 kms away from Panjim ,lying in the Tiswadi taluka in the interiors of Goa-Velha, one of the oldest ports of Goa, where during its time trade flourished and pedigree Horses were brought in to be traded for spices and other local goods.Area was the strong hold of the mighty Kadamba Dynasty in the 13th century A.D.Perched in the valley of the Pilar and Santa Ana hillocks. The house is situated in ‘Gaunkarwaddo’ of the larger village of Batim. It overlooks paddy fields bordered with tall coconut palm trees. A scene around the whole village, take a walk around and you will soon discover the ‘Our Lady of Guardalupe’ church, the Parish church of the Batim village, A few steps ahead would take you to the Batim Lake, a bird watchers paradise, this lake attracts a lot of migratory birds.

Guests can cycle around the village, go bird watching at the Batim lake, try their hands at salt harvesting at the local salt pans, World Heritage sites of Old Goa is a short drive away. or bask at the Siridao beach or Bambolim beach situated about 3 km from Casa Menezes.
