CGH Earth Saha has proudly opened Mansao Curtorim, a restored 223-year-old Portuguese villa, adding another gem to its collection of heritage-inspired getaways. Set in the serene village of Curtorim, South Goa, this historic mansion offers travelers an authentic experience of Goan culture, tradition, and hospitality away from the typical tourist routes. Just a 30-minute drive from Goa’s beaches, the villa invites guests to experience a quieter side of the region, nestled among lush landscapes, historic churches, and peaceful paddy fields.

The villa, with its striking red façade and traditional Indo-Portuguese architecture, has been meticulously restored to blend colonial elegance with modern comforts. High wooden ceilings, expansive balconies, and carefully curated furniture capture the timeless beauty of Goa’s cultural heritage. Mansao Curtorim features six beautifully furnished bedrooms, a grand formal dining room, an inviting outdoor dining space, and a central courtyard with colonial-style arches and galleries that create a serene ambiance perfect for relaxation and intimate gatherings.

Inside, the villa’s interiors showcase restored colonial furniture, Portuguese-inspired fabrics, and other details that highlight the rich history of the region. Each piece, from intricate rosewood beds to ornate mirrors, has been chosen to pay homage to Goa’s storied past. “Mansao Curtorim is our way of offering guests a unique encounter with Goa’s heritage,” said George Joseph, Vice President of Operations at CGH Earth. “Through this villa, we are not only preserving its architectural beauty but also inviting visitors to experience South Goa’s soul—its food, natural surroundings, village culture, and charm.”

Mansao Curtorim’s culinary offerings celebrate the fusion of Goan and Portuguese cuisines, providing a rich variety of vegetarian, meat, and seafood dishes crafted to showcase local flavors. This culinary journey captures the essence of the region’s diverse food culture, creating memorable dining experiences for guests.

The villa encourages visitors to explore South Goa’s hidden gems, including birdwatching along the Zuari River, visiting St. Alex Church, nature walks, cycling trails, and picnics by the villa’s private lake. As a retreat for creative minds, the villa is ideal for reflective holidays or gatherings with friends and family, offering a unique glimpse into the quieter, traditional side of Goa.
