Dear Carmen...thank you sooo much for the wonderful stay at Ishkaa. We enjoyed every minute of the time we spent there, with the children wanting to rush back from wherever we were just so that they could chill in the house. We loved everything about the house and the tranquil surroundings! It was awesome to come back each evening and cool off in the pool...the children especially loved that. You have such an efficient team in Anthony and Peter who went out of their way to make our stay a pleasurable one; always cheerful, smiling and polite. The breakfast each day was awesome...a lovely spread indeed!
Ikshaa Ahoy! For all lovers of South Goa, for lovers of peace, tranquility, nature and green - Ikshaa is the place to be. The beautiful Villa is nestled on a vast green land, as warm, welcoming and beautiful as its host Carmen. She was there at the door step to welcome us with her radiant hospitality. The three rooms are super comfortable and self sufficient to all the needs. The open courtyard, leads to your private pool. The kitchen is well stocked and washer/dryer a bonus. Antony , housekeeping supervisor is super efficient, cordial and made us feel comfortable throughout our stay. Make sure you book an In-Villa massage from Mukti. Yashoda was an amazing therapist. Take a long walk, hike, just stay still and listen to the symphony of the birds. Enjoy the sun or the rains. This Villa is my favorite , has been for a while. Carmen is responsive and always available for any queries or recommendations. If its Goa, then it South Goa. And if its South Goa, then Ikshaa is your home, away from the maddening crowds and over priced hotels. We will surely return sooner than planned.
Beautiful place. A vintage, traditional home in a beautiful green setting. Warm and caring host, helpful staff, great service. Amazing experience, overall.
OUTSTANDING!!!!!!!! A calm, serene homestay located amidst the lush green surroundings in peaceful Loutulim in South Goa. Every detail be it the interiors of the villa, the comfort during the stay, the amenities provided like the pool and daily cleaning were so carefully taken care of by Carmen and Anthony. Delicious breakfast is provided however you will have to arrange for lunch and dinner (Zomato and swiggy do deliveries). We are definitely coming back. A place that will help nourish and flourish your soul.
The property in general was really good. It's not exactly convenient for those willing to visit North Goa or the Casinoore often. It's a very relaxing place with total privacy. BUT BEWARE of the smiling faces you see during your stay. You will have a very warm welcome and good service by the team. You will be met with SMILING SARCASM to get out of the property once it's 11am sharp. It was raining heavily on the day we were checking out and our cabs were a bit late. There was a seating are OUTSIDE the property and we were sitting there waiting for the cabs. ALL OF A SUDDEN, the SMILING OWNER turns super rude and asked us to leave the property in that heavy rain and wait on the road. Continuously asking us to leave. THE WHOLE EXPERIENCE WAS RUINED BY THAT LAST MOMENT. Heaven turned to Hell in a Jiff!
Visited Ikshaa in September. What a fantastic place to soak in Goa. Away from the bustle, this elegantly styled villa was perfect for a break for our family. Comfortable, clean, welcoming. Hosts were accessible and professional. Breakfasts were fantastic. The pool allowed us to have family time even during the rains.
The property is just drop dead beautiful and everything is meticulously planned for you comfort and pleasure. The breakfast served by Anthony is really tasty and healthy. You'll feel at home at Ikshaa with all the privacy and quiet you need. The pool is really big and clean with proper shower next to it. Rooms are really spacious and beds are comfortable. The whole property will give you a Zen feeling with all the antique items used as decorations. Go try ikshaa if you are looking for a villa in goa as after you visit you won't feel like leaving.
This is a wonderful place to stay,relax with family. Typical Goan architecture with lushgreen exteriors and super quiet surroundings. Its perfect antidote to the stressful world we live in.. Ikshaa has appropriate interior with a very good caretaker. A bit maintanence in garden will make the stay unforgettable.
