Just back from a week-long trip to lovely, monsoon-is-round-the-corner Goa. The first half was at Arco Iris.

"Arco Iris”, meaning "Rainbow" in Portuguese is a 200 + year old elegantly restored colonial house built on a sprawling, terraced, 1.5 acre property. It overlooks a seasonal lake and is about a Km from the Zuari river. Arco Iris is located in Curtorim, a quiet village in South Goa, about 7kms from Margao. The village is dotted with seasonal lakes and paddy fields and is often referred to as the “Granary of Goa”. Besides being popular with bird watchers as a destination and the attendant photo shoot opportunities that it affords, Curtorim and its adjoining villages house several places of historical interest.The house, with a built up area of around 7,000 sq feet, comprises an “entrada” (foyer), “sala” (living room), dining room, five bedrooms with en suite bathrooms , library, fully equipped modern kitchen, utility area, two store rooms and accommodation for the support staff. Three of the bedrooms open into private balconies. It also has a “balcao” (balcony) and gallery in front and a courtyard in the rear. Our family of Bennita (“Beni”), Ganesh (“Gani”), Trusha and Trikaya (“T&T”), resides on the premises.
