Casa Severina

Inspired by the mansions of Spain and Portugal, this family-owned Calangute hotel provides a peaceful oasis just a 5-minute walk from popular Calangute Beach. Other famous Goa beaches, such as Baga and Candolim, are about 2 km away. The 16th-century St. Anthony's Chapel is a 3-minute walk.

At check-in, you'll be welcomed with chilled towels and complimentary nonalcoholic beverages. You can start your day with a continental breakfast. Then head to the beach, or while away an hour or 2 by the refreshing outdoor pool. The Casa Severina's grounds are well worth a stroll-you'll see gardens, courtyards, manicured lawns, and even a fish pond and fountain. When night falls, you can view the stars through an antique telescope. Savor international cuisine at the Gazebo restaurant; alfresco dining is available in pleasant weather. Borrow one of the hotel's bicycles to visit the beach or nearby shops and restaurants. Casa Severina's concierge desk is happy to arrange aquatic adventures, scenic tours, dinner reservations, yoga classes, and much more.
