CGH Earth Saha is thrilled to announce the opening of Mansao Curtorim, the latest addition to its burgeoning villa and bungalow holiday collection. Nestled in the tranquil village of Curtorim, this 223-year-old heritage villa serves as a unique getaway for travellers eager to discover an unexplored side of Goa, all within a serene and unhurried environment of an authentic old-Goan village and the beaches, a 30-min drive away.
Set amidst lush landscapes, historic churches, and peaceful paddy fields, Mansao Curtorim has undergone meticulous restoration, harmoniously blending traditional Indo-Portuguese architecture with contemporary comforts. The villa’s striking red-hued façade complemented by high wooden ceilings, expansive sit-outs overlooking vibrant tropical gardens, and carefully selected colonial Goan furniture, encapsulates the timeless allure of Goa’s rich cultural heritage.
Mansao Curtorim boasts six elegantly furnished bedrooms, a spacious living room, an exquisite formal dining room as well as a more relaxed outdoor dining area framed by an enchanting courtyard, and balconies that offer breathtaking views of sunrises and sunsets. The villa’s focal point is its beautifully landscaped courtyard, adorned with archways and colonial-style galleries, creating a picturesque setting perfect for relaxation or intimate gatherings.
The interiors of Mansao Curtorim have been thoughtfully curated with restored colonial furniture, Portuguese-inspired textiles and other intricate details pay tribute to Goa’s architectural legacy. From exquisite rosewood beds to ornate mirrors, each piece reflects the region’s storied past.
A culinary experience at Mansao Curtorim is a celebration of Goa’s vibrant and diverse food culture, artfully merging Portuguese and Indian influences. Guests can indulge in a rich variety of flavors through menus crafted for both vegetarian as well as meat and seafood lovers.
“At CGH Earth, we believe that travel should transcend mere visitation—it should facilitate deep connections with the essence, history, and people of a place. Mansao Curtorim is a homage to Goa’s rich heritage, crafted to offer our guests an immersive experience that surpasses the ordinary. By restoring this historic villa, we preserve its architectural beauty while curating encounters that reflect the soul of South Goa—its cuisine, natural surroundings, village life, and timeless charm. Mansao Curtorim offers a rare window into the authentic Goan way of life, and we are proud to share it with the world,” stated George Joseph, Vice President of Operations at CGH Earth.
Offering guests a serene escape to one of Goa’s less-explored regions, Mansao Curtorim encourages guests to uncover the hidden treasures of South Goa – birdwatching along the picturesque Zuari River, exploring historical landmarks such as St. Alex Church, enjoying nature walks, cycling trails, and picnics by the villa’s private lake. Mansao Curtorim is a perfect destination for creative minds, reflective and restorative holidays and intimate gatherings with family and friends.
