Casa de Morgado
|
The 'Casa de Morgado' has undergone extensive renovation and modernisation. However, due care has been taken to preserve the original Portuguese and Moorish architecture in an attempt to depict the real essence of a bygone era.
|
![]() The extensive garden on both sides of the house has beautifully landscaped lawns and a lot of flowering plants and trees, an ideal setting for luring a large variety of birds from adjoining areas.
|
The rooms are tastefully decorated in pastel shades and are all spacious, light and airy. They all have twin beds and powerful ceiling fans and doors leading out onto the long front balcony which overlooks a vast expanse of greenery. |
![]() The beds have soft, high-quality mattresses to ensure a comfortable rest. The rooms are also equipped with a cupboard, a dressing table, side tables and a clothes stand, bare minimums to ensure a restive stay.
|
In the large and spacious hall, you will find old antique furniture belonging to the family over generations, which has been tastefully placed. At the extreme end is the family altar.
|
![]() The large welcome lounge area has been recently decorated with luxurious rugs and stylish velvet cushions. The reception counter which is designed using the old Portuguese style of art on ceramic tiles called 'Azulejos', is a perfect welcome picture for guests.
|
Painted delicately on the tiles is a subtle collage of a typical village scene emanating from 'Casa de Morgado' and leading to the Cortalim Church and the local feast procession, while also portraying the social and cultural aspects of the Goan way of life.
|
![]() The dining room has a large table with wrought iron chairs with velvet cushions with a seating capacity of six people. The large doorways lead to an adjacent kitchen and outside to the patio and BBQ area.
|
The kitchen is for guests only and has been furnished with a refrigerator, a two-ring gas hob along with all the usual utensils. Another door leads to the patio and BBQ area.
