It is a fascinating experience to live in
the heart of history and dive into the legendary tales with stalwarts of
old times. Aloo Gomes and his wife are one of those couples who are
extremely fervent to open their warm house and its archaic background to
discerning travelers. Located close to the Panjim canal in the
historical Latin colony of Goa, Casa Da Morada promises an informative
and explorative holiday.
The ground floor of the house has a
bougainvillea adorned entrance from the quaint and charming Gomes
Pereira street, named after his grandfather. A connoisseur of local art,
Aloo patronizes only Goan artists and has a collection of 100 paintings
in the house. The ancient furniture of the house belongs to the
ancestral home in Divar Island, from where the family fled after the
infamous plague of Goa. The couple is proud of their numerous
historically relevant artifacts and is extremely conscious to preserve
these, a passion shared by their two young sons as well. One can have
some private space to indulge in this beautiful house, as the ground
floor is kept especially for guests, while the family lives on the first
floor.
