Fodor's Expert Review Casa Anjuna

History, style, and attitude combine to make spending time in this 200-year-old Portuguese mansion turned boutique hotel a pleasure. Artfully put together public and private spaces feature stenciled walls with whimsical architectural details throughout, and the open-air lobby has high ceilings and comfortable old-world upholstered couches. A rooftop bar and restaurant serves Goan and continental dishes amid cool breezes and views of the countryside. Each of the guest rooms (some of which have balconies overlooking the garden or pool) is furnished with antique Goan and Balinese furniture, four-poster beds, and one-of-a-kind bedspreads.
