| Casa Tres Amigos
was bought in 1996, as an old farm house in Assagao's Valley
of Flowers, a serene setting with a generous garden filled with
mango, teak and coconut palms.
Their experienced chefs Shalini and Ranjita and their team know what
it takes to please Their guests with Goan and western cuisine. Fresh
seafood and hearty, well-seasoned local dishes will soon having
you settling into warm well-being.
They also prepare fresh, healthy, Ayurvedic vegetarian dishes on
request. Crisp salads, fresh fruit every day and organic ingredients
round out the picture. They have a small but well-stocked house
bar for celebrations and dinner parties – often with live
music.
Their large swimming pool is at the back of the garden, as is the
meditation and rest deck, with its sweeping view over the rice paddies
toward Anjuna Beach and the ruins of Chapora Fort.
Their fresh-water pool is not only a delight in the daytime –
floating in the warm water under a canopy of southern stars is also
a special experience. Water buffaloes grazing in the rice paddies
accompanied by gleaming white herons add to the sense of tranquility.
The morning songs of the kingfishers and cockatoos, the restless
chipmunks in the ancient mango trees and the occasional mating calls
of the toads underscore the peaceful tropical atmosphere.

Another spacious bamboo cottage is hidden away
in the back of the garden, its terrace overlooking the swimming
pool. The farm house is over 100 years old and has been completely
renovated. It features two guest rooms with baths, a broad common
terrace, a small library and Their office.
