Villa Lisbao β Luxury villa for rent in Arpora
Property Details
Go back in time to the days of Goa’s colonial past. Villa Lisbao, tucked away in a quiet Arpora village, is a 400 year old heritage property, which has survived battles with the Marathas. Its historical roots are strong. To this day, you will see a small arch-shaped cut-out for rifles in one of the doors. The house has also seen the age of the hippies. The owner, who is a famous author and historian, worked with the architect Rochelle Santimano to restore and redesign this North Goa villa, but with careful attention to retain many of its original architecture and designs.
Spread over 21,000-square-feet, Villa Lisbao is “a cocoon in itself”. You will be surrounded by outdoor areas that include a swimming pool, barbeque, front garden, and a huge place where small events can be held. The neighborhood is very serene and quiet. The villa is very close to Baga beach, and yet, away from the crowds.
