Further details outdoors:
South Goa is a beach-lover's paradise with its palm fringed, long white sandy beaches with safe bathing. The many scenic views are a treat for the eyes. Water sports are available locally along with river cruises for bird-watching or fishing. A railway station and airport are close, both with good national links. Hiring transport is easy but the Tuktuks or taxis are themselves very cheap. Whether eating in one of the many beach shacks or any one of the excellent restaurants it is a gourmet’s delight. There is a wealth of seafood, currys or something from a large range available, all at very affordable prices. Old Portuguese homes, Forts, Wildlife Sancturies, Spice gardens, Dolphin trips, Temples or old Churches are all here and a little further to North Goa there is the night market and all night rave parties with their electrifying experiences. After that try an Ayurvedic from one of the many therapy centres. Your holiday will be full of unforgettable memories and the wish to return.
Further details
The best time to visit Goa is between November and March when the climate is extremely pleasant with temperatures mostly between 29°C – 34°C during the days. After this time the weather gets warmer but with the on-shore breezes is usually comfortable. As a rule the Monsoon arrive in early June and remains pretty intense for a couple of months. It then is intermitant with lovely sunny weather before returning for a final burst in September or October. The monsoon limits your options for a Goan beach holiday because of the heavy seas, otherwise if one enjoys the rain and changes it brings such as the re-greening of the countryside and the spectacular growth and flowers on display; then it might surprise you. The high season is December and January.

The Goa / West India / Goa region


Goa had been a Portuguese colony until 1962 when is was incorporated into India. The best time to visit Goa is between November and March when the climate is extremely pleasant with temperatures mostly between 29°C – 35°C during the days. After this time the weather gets warmer but with the on-shore breezes is usually comfortable. As a rule the Monsoon arrive in early June and remains pretty intense for a couple of months. It then is intermitant with lovely sunny weather before returning for a final burst in September or October. The monsoon limits your options for a Goan beach holiday as the sea is quite rough, unless one enjoys the change it brings such as the re-greening of the countryside and the spectacular growth and flowers on display. The high season is December and January.

Guestbook for Kites Nest
Best Holiday Ever
Review submitted: December 2, 2011 Date of stay: November 2011
First let me say that the house, and our stay in Goa far exceeded all our expectations.
Location: The house is within walking distance to everything you need, and Alex the driver was more than helpful when it came to planning a day trip to things like markets, spice farms, different beaches etc. We went to several beaches, and our little home base in Colva was the best, most chilled out option.
House: The house is gorgeous, clean, and surprisingly cool. We didn’t once want for AC because the house is set up in such a way with the ceiling fans that there was always a nice breeze. Also, I didn’t need to use the mosquito net I bought. All of the windows have screens, and if you’re smart enough to keep the doors shut at night you should have no problems. We were so happy we chose this route vs. Staying in a resort because we actually felt we had a little home to come back to, and were all much more comfortable and relaxed.
William has a great little “Guide to Goa / the Area” on where to buy food, which shacks to go to, places of interest and just general tips for our stay. It was SO helpful and accurate.
I would stay here again in a heart-beat, and would definitely recommend the Kites Nest villa to anyone who’s thinking of going to Goa.
