About the owner
My business partner Pierre and I, Atul, moved over from the UK four years ago, for the weather,the people, and to be with nature. So far no regrets. We lovingly restored this beautiful house and garden, and built an additional Bungalow in the grounds. I am told I am a good cook, so we offer cookery demonstrations after which the end results are consumed! I also provide expert wildlife tour advice, since I am a keen environmentalist. Pierre on the other hand offers guided tours of "Shopping in Panjim", a big hit with the ladies. We have 3 friendly staff on our team, not to forget 3 friendly dogs and 2 cats!
