About the Hotel

D-69\/4\/5, After Gandhi Circle, Near Church Of Our Lady Of Mount, Ella, Old Goa, India, 403402

The Postcard Velha, Goa, is a contemporary boutique hotel located atop the hillock of Nossa Senhora de Monte. It sits on a sprawling 1 hectare estate, overlooking 121.5 hectares of virgin coconut plantations and the Mandovi river delta. This six-room hotel provides an intimate experience, making it a unique escape from typical accommodations in the region. It is ideally placed for exploring the World Heritage site of Old Goa, steeped in historical and cultural significance.

Location

The Postcard Velha is situated 30 km from Dabolim Airport and is within walking distance of key historical sites like the Bom Jesus Basilica and St Francis of Assisi. It is a 15-minute walk to the rarely-opened Chapel of Our Lady of the Mount, which offers views of sunset over the Mandovi river. The remote location provides a peaceful retreat while still being conveniently close to the attractions of Old Goa.

Rooms

Each room in the hotel features airy interiors that open out to lush garden views, centered around a striking 300-year-old banyan tree. The decor elements include tiled floors, colorful rugs, and vintage furniture, creating an attractive living space. Guests can enjoy the luxury of private verandahs, perfect for relaxation. The upper-level rooms in the two villa blocks are particularly appealing due to their high ceilings and balconies.

Eat & Drink

The hotel offers a short lunch, dinner, and all-day eats menu that includes local favorites like Fish Dangar, Pork Feijoada, and Prawn Balchao. Dining occurs in serene pavilions that overlook the Mandovi river, enhancing the culinary experience. Local artisanal food is featured, with the option of enjoying tea and coffee in bed. The culinary direction, led by General Manager Mathieu, introduces a touch of French influence to the Goan flavors.
