A comfortable little room in a beautiful Portuguese style villa, surrounded by lush greenery. It is for guests who appreciate beauty and peace.

The space
A pair of cozy twin rooms set side by side, each with its own entrance, also going by the name of Bougainvillea rooms. They are lovingly furnished with twin beds and a cane table with two chairs, antique wardrobes, and have en-suite bathrooms in beautiful mosaic tiling. Dish TV is installed to keep you informed and entertained, and the air conditioning will keep you cool.
The rooms share the same nicely shaded porch adorned by the mature bougainvilleas that give the rooms their name They can be rented individually or together (Contact us for details).
The Bougainvillea rooms are the most reasonable option in the Marbella Guest House, a beautiful romantic Portuguese style mansion, where attention was paid to every detail. It is lovingly designed and decorated with an aesthetic blend of colonial Portuguese, traditional Indian and contemporary furniture.
The Villa is quiet and peaceful, away from the hustle and bustle of the tourism trade, yet conveniently close to all amenities.
When the building’s reconstruction was finished in 1987 it would have definitely been the first boutique establishment in Goa, but the term had yet to be coined.

Guest access
You will enjoy the privacy of your room, and you can relax and dine under the old mango trees in the lush green courtyard or sit in the lounge, furnished with authentic Portugese furniture set on original floor tiles.
And there is lovely nature all around us, where you can stroll around and enjoy the rich bird life.

Other things to note
There is a gourmet restaurant offering various styles of cuisine served in the lush green courtyard, in the privacy of your room or on the porch. The chefs will be happy to oblige to any personal tastes or health requirements, and only residing guests are catered to, to maintain the peaceful ambience.
We are classified as Bed & Breakfast, but we do charge separately for the breakfast, as we prefer the guests to enjoy a wide variety, and not be limited to a standard included breakfast.
There is a beauty room, where we take care of the wellbeing of our lady guests, offering facials, manicures and pedicures, and massages.

Neighbourhood highlights

Marbella Guest House is the last house at the end of a quiet lane passing through Sinquerim village. Beyond and around us is forest and orchard land leading to the headlands, where you can enjoy the sunset from the rocks overlooking the Arabian Sea. The 16th century Fort Aguada with its lighthouse, guarding the mouth of the Mandovi river, is also just a few more minutes walk away.
The beach begins about a ten minute walk back through the village, and then stretches 7km to Baga. There are plenty of beach shacks offering food and drinks and loungers to sunbathe on, and water sports are also available.
It also takes only about ten minutes to what we like to call the strip, the road parallel to the beach, filled with shops, restaurants and a variety of other businesses.

Hi,

My name is Dian. I settled down in Goa and bought this house in 1985 after already having developed a love for the place on previous childhood visits, when my German mother made sure I remained in touch with my Indian ancestry. After two years of intense renovation the place was finally ready to accommodate the first guests.
After a couple of years I decided to lease another house just ten minutes down the road to live in, where my love for music didn’t compromise my visitors need for peace.

In 2005 I met the love of my life, Susan. She had been coming down from England regularly since 1993 and already felt at home in Goa. We married, and Our Guest House soon became her baby, adding her love for decoration to it.

We have a friendly team of ten taking care of the six rooms, some of them having been with us over 20 years. Susan regularly checks that everything is perfect, leaving me to more occasional visits, and plenty of time for my guitar.

Hoping to welcome you soon to lovely Goa,
Bye, Dian
