I chose to stay here for 3 nights recently for my birthday and it turned out to be a good choice. I travelled with my partner and my daughter and her boyfriend. We had the cottage and the first floor bedroom, both of which are large and beautifully decorated but my favourite was the first floor room because of the... More

After a hectic week in Bangalore arriving at Capella was like arriving in Paradise. The villa itself is nestled in a hillside surrounded by lush flowering trees, its furnishings and decor reflect a Portuguese style and no attention to detail has been spared, everything is exquisitely done. The guest rooms are big and airy with large beds so comfortable that... More

We were a bit skeptical about doing a Goa weekend during the monsoons (even Ayesha warned us about the power cuts), but after seeing the stellar reviews that Trip Advisor and Mumbai Boss gave Capella, I was sure. We booked all 3 rooms for the 6 of us. Located in a secluded, hilly area of Arpora, Capella is nestled amidst... More

‘Our door is never closed, it’s open 24 hours’ is one the first things one is told when you enter the beautiful home of Ayesha and Jamshed Madon, tucked away in a quiet little lane in the village of Parra in North Goa.

Everyone thoroughly enjoyed their time. Everything was excellent - the spacious Heliconia room, the spirit of the house maintained so well by the loving... More

I am biased because I know the owners Ayesha and Jamshed well but their home stay in Goa is absolutely charming. A unique hideaway with authentic charm and delightful hosts. The rooms, grounds and pool are unique and lovely - there is even a detached cottage for those who want more privacy. The days fly by - dipping in the... More

Home stays are challenging to get right. You need a mix of the soft service with the feeling of comfort -and yet someone's else is home needs to feel like your own. Well Capella hits it spot on. From the welcome of soothing jazz on a breezey morning, a luring pool with a panoramic view, and the hospitality of an... More

An absolutely wonderful homestay. My husband and I have stayed in B&B's and Homestays across the world and have been fortunate to have stayed in some exceedingly pleasant and beautiful homestays. Capella ranks right up there, in our hearts as a homestay filled with such astonishing grace and charm and beauty all around. Location: Superbly located and central to most... More
