Chris and I stayed at the Garca Branca for a week in January. It was a great way to unwind and also well positioned to see the southern beaches of Majorda and Colva. Have to say I loved Colva beach! Carlos and Merlin were extremely hospitable and they have a lovely home. more

Perfect!

I can only add my praise to that already expressed and to say that if you want to experience Goan hospitality at it's best then stay here. Carlos and Merlin are a very welcoming, friendly, helpful and warmhearted couple and we enjoyed a wonderful 10 days in this happy family home. Accommodation is extremely clean, comfortable and spacious in their... more

We stayed at Garca Branca for 4 days. The room was huge (it is more like a small apartment without the kitchen) with a huge balcony. We travelled in India for 5 weeks and we stayed in different places within a similar price-range and we must say, this room was the cleanliest and most comfortable we have stayed in during... more

We've stayed at plenty of 5 star hotels but Garca Branca is such a refreshing change with a perfect mixture of home comforts and hotel standards. The website does not prepare you the sheer size of your two roomed apartment with more space and a larger balcony than you will ever get in a luxury hotel. As a bonus you... more

Excellent retreat to get a taste of rural Goa. Never expected it to be so relaxing. My daughter still talks about Carlos and the birds in this estate. Extremely clean B&B yet was very "homely". The food that Fatima cooked is still fresh in our memories. Had my first Shandy here - thanks Carlos! Good reach within all major south... more

We stayed at Garca Branca for 2 weeks in the month of July, 2008 and it was loads of fun. The best part of staying there is the amount of privacy that you get. Carlos and Merlin are excellent hosts, generous and lovely. Garca branca is situated in the very serene and beautiful village of Loutolim. Another thing that is... more

No matter how tired you are, Carlos welcoming smile would comfort you. Whatever you expect from a hospitable great family, you'd find in this house. Honestly they were my family the whole time spent in Goa. Excellent company and a great source of help and information the couple is. The best food I had in India, I guess, Fatima makes... more

When I look back at my 3 week adventure in India, I have a colourful array of emotions and memories. From the complete awe of standing in front of the Taj Mahal, to the exhiliration of a tuk tuk ride through the bustle of Dehli , the confrontation of the filth and death in Varanasi and the complete horror of... more

Having picked this place almost blindly on the internet ([--]) at the last minute and amid much chaos and panic, I was a bit apprehensive to say the least when my friends and I arrived in Goa. Carlos, the owner of Garca Branca, picked us up from the airport and upon arriving at the house, I instantly knew we had... more
