Owner profile
About the owner
Hello, my name is Jingo Gonsalves and I am proud to introduce this beautiful property (which I built) to you. I was raised in Arrady, the tranquil village where it is located so know the local area like the back of my hand. As its name suggests it is next to my own home, where myself, my mother and brother live. I have also renovated and now rent another property in the village.
As well as dabbling in property development I am the proprietor of a local conveniece store. I adore North Goa so would be full of advice regarding places to go and things to see for anyone staying at The Annexe. My sister has recently published her own Goan cookery book and my mother's recipes were featured in the BBC's Flavours of India, so perhaps you could convince them to give you a lesson during your stay!
