After a hard week of work in Mumbai, we headed down to Goa for a relaxing weekend. We were referred to Neville's place by a friend and did not know what to expect. We were overwelmed by the beauty of the property and the friendliness of the staff. It was a perfect weekend - exactly what we needed. You cannot... more

On travelling for 40 years I have seen a big part of the world. I found nice places and all over friendly people and I could see the bad influence when countries opened up to mass tourism. Since 1988 I have been once a year in India and special in Goa. Most places are crowded, noisy and sorry but I... more

The final destination on our journey through India, having just arrived from beautiful Kerala, with its lush backwaters and hill stations, was the charming Pousada Tauma. Well situated near the bustling roundabout of Calangute, one steps into a cocoon of calm - of waterfalls spilling into the whimsical large pool - of the well kept gardens surrounding the bungalows and... more

After spending ten days in western India, we didn’t know what to expect as our plane landed in Goa. Reading trip advisor, viewing images on line and reading comments of Pousada Tauma, we made our reservations. There were eight of us three adults and five children ages11-17. As our cars pulled up to the lush, understated entrance, with sprinklings of... more

The world has changed. We live in great times when most people can afford to travel and have new experiences. More people than ever have the chance to experience the wonderful things that some of us have been extremely lucky to take for granted. No matter how wealthy, how successful, or how beautiful one may be sensitivity, simplicity, and comfortable... more

We spent a week at Pousada and were entranced by the peace and tranquillity. The exotic flowers, lush greenery, quiet atmosphere and individually designed and decorated rooms make it the perfect place to escape to rejuvenate your mind and body. We had massages, me relaxing, him revitalising, every other day and could have used the gym if we wanted. Never... more

well.Overall the experience was average.The staff Mathew etc. were good,but end of the day thats not the only thing you paying for.although the property with just about 12 so called suites is different but definitely not worth a 300 pounds a night.??What put me off is despite shelling out a decent amount there were frogs in the pool.which i was... more

This small boutique hotel is hidden away from the busy, touristy, and dirty streets of Calangute, Goa. Finding this jewel saved my family vacation and made our stay in Goa much more enjoyable. I loved it so much that I even proposed to my fiancee in their private garden. (she said yes :) ) The atmosphere: - lush greenery -... more

I was not sure the Pousada Tauma would live up to my expectations however I am happy to say this hotel exceeded them. The setting was superb & despite being 1km from the general hustle & bustle of Calungate we felt as if we were in the countryside. Food, restaurant, rooms, design & service all excellent. Nothing was too much... more
