Nestled in a tranquil spot close to the Anjuna Beach is the sprawling and luxurious Villa Branco. Developed by Isprava, the space showcases a harmonious blend of Goan-Portuguese and European architectural designs. So, you have the internal courtyard, typical of Goan homes, juxtaposed with Roman arch windows and a Spanish cupola. Avant-garde columns and high ceiling rooms lend a sense of grandeur to the villa’s otherwise easy-going charm.

An intricate latticework adorns another part of the veranda that has a private pool, a deck and a quaint gazebo. Interesting fittings include handmade floor tiles, and doors, windows, furniture and antiques (e.g.: an oyster shell bed from a maharaja’s personal collection) sourced from palaces in Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan as well as from mansions in the south of France and Italy. Fully furnished, the villa comes with a G4S security (free one-year contract), a dedicated property manager, luxury villas for sale in goa (free one-year facilities management contract) who along with his team of workers, take care of the day to day needs. While the breath-taking interiors and the private pool makes for a perfect holiday home, the villa’s proximity to some of Goa’s famous beaches and finest restaurants gives it an added bonus.
