You can find the beautiful views because the raj bhavan is surrounded by mandovi river,zuari river and the arabian sea.The buildings are in portuguese style. The hospitality was nice. Climate was pleasant.
Visited Raj Bhavan and met Honorable Governor of Goa Sri Sreeharan Pillai Ji. Gifted book written by the Governor.
British/Portuguese built place. They occupy it and still curse the British /Portuguese for political gains . The security objected to taking photos. Indian's against Indians. Cabo fort lies on the peninsula land jutting out in the Arabian Sea, at Dona Paula, 9 kilometers from Panaji. The fort was erected by the Portuguese in 1540 to guard the entrance to Goa harbour. The Portuguese planned a fort here in 1540, and as per long-established defense strategy, quickly built a church. Subsequently, they built a fort and the church was made into a convent. Since the fort's canons were never used `in anger', the buildings were used as temporary accommodation for the archbishop from the 1650s. The British took it over in 1798 and stayed in residence, apart from a brief break, until 1813. Initially during the Portuguese era, a Franciscan Convent was attached to the Fort. These days nothing remains of the old citadel. You can, however, see the ruins of the small military cemetery the British built at the time of their brief occupation of the Cabo during the Napoleonic wars - a move intended to deter the French from invading Goa. This later became Cabo Palace and is now the official residence of the Governor of Goa, known as the Raj Bhavan.
Goa is beautifull place but in all club mahindra hotels there are taxi unions which charges double rent that is Rs 4000 for 70 km and if stop this taxies for lunch they charges Rs 500 for half and they says hamara kuch nahi ho sakta sab goverment ke hi log hai hamare sath...tourist adviced to take ur own car or taxi to goa to avoid this
Nice place.....the ram bhavan is so well maintained and and the surrounding is so clean.....do visit raj bhavan
Nice place to visit
Having grown up in the area, I was one of the few lucky ones who went for mass here on Sunday mornings. Beautiful view, especially from the North side. If you happen to be in Goa over the weekend then try to make it for the Sunday service at 9.30 am. You need to drive through the gates by 9 am.
The Governor's residence. For obvious reasons, not everyone is welcome here but the roads leading up to the Bungalow gates have a great view of the surrounding Dona Paula area. Not really a place for tourists but locals can walk/drive up here in the evenings to enjoy the wonderful breeze and relax with their family and loved ones.

Beautiful apartments. Loved the decor. Clean place. Quick service and friendly staff. We threw a birthday party on the terrace which had the most amazing view. Two jacuzzis and a garden space was more than enough for the guests to relax and enough.

We loved how hospitable the property owners are. We just felt at home, had a great view of the sea from our room, had the best possible buffet breakfast with calm music every morning. I wish to have stayed longer in this really lovely home like stay.
The home was so beautiful. We stayed for three days and everything about the house made us happy. If you are visiting goa in a group then try for this house first. It's affordable, pretty, homely and calm. There isn't much to see sightseeing wise in
