Hosts Mr.Philip & Mrs.MaryannD'souza.
Reds built in 2009 with the homestay in mind the property when completed turned out to be a hotel in facility with the feel and the homestay touch. The rooms are hotel quality, spic & span. Baths are made with all modern facility to please the traveler. A lounge are which doubles up as a restaurant or what we call YOUR BREAKFAST AREA. The lounge has facility for up to 16 persons to dine and chit chat all at one time, the lounge has a well stocked library, musical instruments, cards and board games too. The property has 3 levels and is decorated with artifacts from India and around the world.
Philip Dsouza is the host and Maryann the hostess, our love for traveling and our love for being host to travelers made things easy for us. Philip is a business man but I devote my morning and evening for the guests, as my wife is a homemaker she is always around to help, guide and spend time with our guests. As both our children are away from home this full time hobby give us immense pleasure and happiness.
The coolest neighbourhood in town, walking distance to the beach for a quick swim and back. The chirping of bird is your alarm for the morning as Reds is surrounded by rain forests trees. The Marintime and the Indo Portuguse museum are walk-able distance from Reds.
