About the property:

If it’s been quite some time since you took a break from your hyper-active urban life, maybe you should give Acro Iris, a unique heritage homestay, in South Goa, a chance. Located in Curtorim, a sleepy village, it’s your comfort home away from your world that’s eager to revive you and also show you a different side of Goa.Rainbow, the meaning of Acro Iris, is the essence of this heritage homestay. The rooms and courtyards of Acro Iris radiate perky hues to elevate your weary spirits. Whether it’s the door arches, shelves and the recliners in the patio or the coloured walls of its rooms – Indigo, Violet and Orange, every bit of it is meant to enthuse a new vigour in you. But, all that is crafted in a very elegant and tasteful manner that pleases your senses gently.Apart from the experience of staying in an old Goan Bungalow, you will also be enamoured by the Zuari River, which is close by. You can set out on your own wanderings anytime. The village has many seasonal lakes and paddy fields to invite you for impromptu jaunts. Hire a bike or simply walk – listen to your heart and savour the serene landscapes of Goa. And if you can’t do without some beaches, Colva, Benaulim and Varca are not too far from Acro Iris.Also, you must not miss the chance to have those insightful conversations over coffee with your hosts, Ganesh and Bennita, who would be happy to share quirks about their culture, lifestyle and the Goan history.
