The Staff at the property will be ready to assist you from everything from cooking your favourite dishes to arranging for a speedboat to take you to the nearest beach. The Area by the Restaurant allows for fishing over the deck - won't get you a big catch but will let you enjoy the advantage of staying by the river.

Billed as Goa's first boutique backwater hotel, having been originally intended as a private estate, Casa Colvale brings this very sentiment to all its guests, many of whom have gladly succumbed to its resplendent ambience of a luxury villa with unobtrusive service and delicious food.Tucked away down the unspoilt backwaters of North Goa, the architect-designed property sits on a high bank in the midst of lush tropical gardens and jungle, with sweeping views down the river and its tributaries. Enjoy lazy days by the infinity pools, watch water buffalo on their daily river crossing from the terrace, or kick back in one of the idyllic garden chill-out spots for some sophisticated unwinding. The legendary beaches of North Goa are only 15 minutes by speedboat or car, so you can choose the style and pace of your holiday. Dotted with comfortable sofas and seating in cosy nooks, the boutique resort invites you to reflect, relax and rewind. The Resort is home to 2 swimming pools and its location along the river allows for the option of fishing or just lounging in a houseboat.

Fishing is possible over the deck of the Restaurant. The nearest beach is around 20-30 mins drive and accessible by speedboat or road. The area is secluded and good for people that really enjoy the untouched beauty of a riverside location.
