The Postcard Velha

Boutique Rural Hotel

Trip Advisor Rating '.$item_trip.' Our Rating 10.0
 

The Postcard Velha, a boutique retreat in Velha Goa, nestles atop the hillock of Nossa Senhora de Monte, offering just six intimate rooms for an exclusive escape, blending serene privacy with the timeless charm of Goa's heritage landscape.

Each of the six air-conditioned rooms exudes understated elegance, featuring private balconies with sweeping views of the Mandovi River delta and 300 acres of untouched coconut plantations. Equipped with plush wardrobes, modern bathrooms, and thoughtful amenities, every room creates a tranquil haven tailored for relaxation. The absence of fixed check-in or check-out times allows guests to savour a flexible, personalized stay, enhanced by tea or coffee served directly in bed.

Dining at The Postcard Velha is a celebration of local artistry, with menus showcasing artisanal Goan cuisine crafted from fresh, regional ingredients, served without rigid breakfast hours for a leisurely experience. The outdoor swimming pool invites serene dips amidst lush surroundings, while the on-site Ayurveda consultation and treatments offer a path to holistic wellness. Guests can immerse in curated activities like cycling through scenic trails, fishing along the river, or practicing yoga in the tranquil estate. The attentive staff curates bespoke sightseeing excursions, ensuring a deep connection to Goa's cultural tapestry.

Located a 10-minute walk from Viceroy's Arch and 900 meters from Se Cathedral, The Postcard Velha is just 1 kilometer from the Church of St. Francis of Assisi and the Basilica of Bom Jesus, with Goa International Airport a convenient 27 kilometers away, offering seamless access to Old Goa's historic treasures.
