​Little Paradise is a charming vacation homestay in Assagao - offering independent cottage room units and contemporary studio-style rooms, to travellers who enjoy the comfort of small spaces, minimal design and alfresco living. Bathed in natural light, the cottage and studio units have large outdoor spaces - decks, terraces, balcaos, balconies and gardens, overlooking the valley of the village.
​
Set in 1200 square metres of lush tropical greenery, the property rests on a hill slope, giving the experience of a ‘tree house’ - surrounded as it is by mango, cashew, jamun, teak and coconut trees. We grow some of our own salads and herbs on the property and encourage guests to be part of our home garden - to plant seeds, nurture the soil and be a part of the community.
​
Little Paradise is a peaceful and safe haven for people seeking a quiet home away from home… and yet it is just minutes away from markets, restaurants, yoga and wellness retreats, beaches and the fishing villages of Goa.
COTTAGE & STUDIO LIVING
We encourage our guests to keep goa beautiful... use less plastic, carry your own water bottle, care for the environment, drive safely and have respect for the village community of Goa.
We have a small seasonal vegetable garden - with tomatoes, capsicum, ruccola, kale, spinach, chillies, peppercorns, turmeric, ginger and more. We have pineapples, mangoes, bananas and papayas - and are lucky to enjoy the fruit before the monkeys do. To keep things earth friendly, we compost our food waste, use mulching techniques and save water.
Anjila, a graphic designer and an eternal coddiwompler, is your homestay host. The full time live - in caretakers, Sarita and Ravi maintain the property. Tulsi, Nona and Rama are the dogs who sing, add love and security to the property.
