The three Aashyana Casinhas – Leo, Libra and Capricorn, clustered within the grounds of the main villa – are reached through their independent, wrought-iron gate leading to a delightful courtyard.

The whitewashed casinhas are stylish and welcoming, using neutral décor and local features like terracotta-tiled roofs, stone floors and traditional built-in seating. This décor contrasts and highlights the owner’s private art collection.

While each casinha is unique in terms of layout, all three are identical in following an exemplary standard of accommodation. The open-plan design encompasses living, dining and kitchen areas equipped with a gas hob and fridge-freezer. Each casinha has a patio and verandah enclosed in a private courtyard.

Each casinha has two bedrooms: a king-sized double bed in one room and twin singles in the other. Each bedroom has its attached bathroom in an enclosed courtyard garden open to the sky – where you may shower in sunlight or under the stars. Indeed a bathroom to remember!

Split air-conditioners in all bedrooms
(designed for reduced noise levels; external compressor units).

A short walk along a garden path takes you to an area of Aashyana Lakhanpal grounds with a 25 x 5 meters swimming pool. Here you have a shady gazebo, poolside loungers, and a toilet/shower. A few more paces and you are at the private gate opening directly onto 7 kilometres of Candolim beach.

Casinha guests have access only to the swimming pool, beach and the beach sit-out along a marked pathway on the edge of Aashyana grounds.

The casinhas are ideal for couples, small families or groups of friends. One or more can be booked together to provide accommodation for up to 12. All three casinhas booked along with the Aashyana Lakhanpal villa can accommodate a maximum of 22 people. (Early bookings recommended).
