A real hidden gem in Goa, three location is perfect, only 5 minutes walk from the beach where there are plenty of chilled beach shacks serving reasonably priced good and drinks, but the hotel is far enough away that it's totally peaceful at night and is very secure with a guard on duty 24/7. The hotel itself is in a beautiful old heritage building and the staff all work incredibly hard to keep it clean and beautifully cared for, while our room was spacious and very comfortable. However the standout for us was the staff, they did all they could to help us arrange a driver, clean our room, print documents we needed etc. It really was a 5 star experience and we would love to come back. Special shout out to Freddy for his peerless service and great sense of humour :)

Characterful, friendly and charming hotel. Peaceful setting, rooms very clean. We had a bit of a problem with the hot water on arrival but they were quick to attend to this, and in fact moved us to a better room the next day. Taxi from airport all went to plan and they also organised a taxi for us onto our next destination. Breakfasts were fine with a choice of english style or Indian.

Great little hotel. Clean, comfortable and spacious, very close to everything but far enough away to remain quiet. Lovely staff who really can’t do enough for you. Would have no reservation whatsoever to recommend this hotel. I will be returning next year.

It's just beautiful
The hotel is a wonderful escape from the dust and dirt of the outside the gate. It means you can experience true goa with the tuc tucs, cows, mopeds and dirt knowing that you will sleep in a clean bed with AC. The staff are so friendly and helpful and the pool area is kept clean and relaxing. You can see the Portuguese influence and enjoy watching the fish peacefully swimming in the pool in the middle of the hotel. A wonderful place.

A great oasis hotel
This was a great little hotel, a little oasis hidden away in a beautiful kept garden with a lovely fountain. Gated access and a guard who was lovely. The food here and restaurant was excellent and I can recommend the pina collada. The swimming pool was a very good size, and a lot of the times we had it to ourselves. For people who are not sure, please try this hotel, as once you have settled in and found what you like to eat etc you will not want to leave. The bedrooms are well equipped and spacious. One to resist time after time.

Undisturbed Stay
The Hotel is nicely located - not very interior at the same time not in traffic and noise pollution. Great efforts taken by Hotel executives to ensure a clean surrounding. This is located at a nice area which has some life such as market, restaurants etc and hence easy to move around. Since we had a 'Rent a cab', we found it extremely comfortable to come and go out of the area.

Great Relaxing Stay
We stayed in the hotel during the last week of April which is an off season for Goa as there are very less travelers (Indian and Foreigners both). The hotel was barely booked but the staff was still very alert, attentive and responsive in our needs during our stay. It was a complete homely experience for us during each and every encounter with the staff. Johnson the GM inquired about our stay almost everyday and the Bartender/Breakfast Server Babuli made sure we had everything what we asked for. Receptionists are very polite and helpful in every aspect needed. I have traveled almost 15 countries till now but this hotel leaves an good impression. About the hotel: The hotel is a small homely cottage located 2 mins walk away from the Calangute Beach on one side and the main market on the opposite direction. My wife and I liked the location because it not on a busy road and thus maintains the calm and relaxing atmosphere. It is very well guarded and safe with a guard on duty at all times with the gates closed.

Nice Hotel closer to amenities
Nice hotel. If you like Indian breakfast (fried bread, curry, cutlets etc) you will love the breakfast. The rooms were comfortable and cosy. The hotel staff were polite, one of the restaurant staff beginning with B was overbearing and we felt pressurised to eat in their restaurant by him. The reception staff were friendly and helpful. The hotel has lovely interior décor. The hotel has a policy of no children under 12, so be vary of it. Overall, a lovely stay.

Good hotel but could be excellent
It's a beautiful hotel the staff are brilliant rooms are tastefully decorated and it's a oasis amid the bustle of Calengute close to both the beach and Holiday Street where there are bars and restaurants. Tends to be a bit money orientated, taxi to Arjuna market from hotel cost 750 INR but only paid 250 to return, late checkout cost increase very rapidly past standard hours, cost 2500- 4000 INR or even upwards of this. There tends to be a lot of food and drink items unavailable even though they are on the menus ie no burgers,, chicken salad, spaghetti bolagnase, tonic water, breezers and other drinks which can be very frustrating.

Very Pleasant Stay
I stayed for five nights in November 2015 in the middle room category which is located within the main hotel. My room was a good size and was kept spotlessly clean throughout my stay. The bed was comfortable and it was nice having an outdoor seating area. The bathroom is also a good size with bath and walk-in shower. Hot water was plentiful after a couple of minutes and water pressure was good. They do need however to invest in new bath towels as the ones currently supplied are becoming threadbare - the ones supplied poolside are much better quality. The staff were all professional and friendly. The manager Johnson helped arrange a bespoke tour for me using the hotel driver Vasu and hotel car. Breakfast is basic but okay. The bar has a good menu although some spirits were occasionally out of stock. Wifi is free but coverage and speed are intermittent. I bought a 3G card in town to supplement. The pool is a good size and very clean.

Beautiful Oasis in the centre of Calangute
We spent 5 nights at the hotel after having travelled around India for three weeks. It was a beautiful haven oozing with charm and peacefulness which is exactly what we needed after a hectic time. The staff were very welcoming and one night after knowing that I attended a cooking class the waiter asked the chef to cook a meal from his village to give us a typical Goan experience.He then proceeded to write down the recipe so I can make it at home knowing I had an interest in cooking.The meals were beautifully prepared with fine attention to detail. The hotel and grounds were immaculate and we really enjoyed speaking with the staff.

Family vibe with a short walk to the beach.
Thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Calangute at the Casa Severina. The staff were extrememly friendly and always greeted us everytime we saw them. The room was generously spaced and very comfortable. The location was a very short walk to the beach and the staff were extremely helpful in planning possible adventures whilst we were there. It allowed us to relax and enjoy our time in Calangute and think about the important things, like drinks to be ordered. The restaurant area served up some good food offerings and it was a pleasure chatting with the lead waiter/chef there. Location is a bit far from the station, being located in the north of Goa, but there is no shortage of bookable day trips to explore the north and south regions. We did the experience checking out Old Goa, a spice plantation and some of the beaches.

Good Heritage property and good location but need
Well maintained heritage property and meets all basic requirements. Staffs are courteous. However no one picks up phone at the reception. People are not sure of the reception extension some says 9 while other says 111. Wi-Fi connection is weak. There was no attendant at night to cater to your requirements. I required a bottle of water and called reception at 11:30pm. No one picked up the phone. I personally went to the reception, no one was there at the desk. Finally I found the receptionist at the kitchen merrily chatting with a chef. Food taste needs improvement. Buffet spread needs improvement. Foods are pricey. Spa is worthless, no one should opt for it. Saying so, the plus points are mentioned below: 5 minutes away from Calangute beach and 2 minutes away from market and restaurants. Beautiful swimming pool Good housekeeping and very comfortable rooms.

Lovely hotel. Very clean. Old Portuguese house , decor in Portuguese style furniture. Would return anytime. A little oasis in the midst of the hustle and bustle of Calangute. Really loved it. Staff friendly, especially house keeping manager 'Thomas' . Reception staff understand very little English so lots of misunderstandings. Also trips and taxis more expensive in hotel and charge tax on everything, so better to book outside of hotel for trips etc.

Was in Goa for work and decided to take wifey along. A very relaxing stay away from the hustle & bustle of the city life.The standard room was very comfy. The beach is about 5 minute walk. Only issue I faced was with no wi-fi connectivity in the room. The hotel could also be a bit innovative with their menu not much to choose from. The staff members were brilliant and always with a smile. Want to relax go "Casa Severina"

Quiet location.
My husband and I visited Goa for the first time in March, spending 3 weeks there. After reading reviews on several Hotels we decided to book Casa Severina. We were pleasantly surprised at the cleanliness of our room and the Hotel in general. We had our room cleaned with clean towels every day and clean sheets on a regular basis. Most of the staff went out of their way to make our stay as pleasant as possible and were very helpful, especially the young boys who cleaned our room and also the boys who served breakfast and worked at the bar. The location of the Hotel was in a quiet spot, but just 5 minutes walk in one direction to the beach and the other direction to the shops, restaurants, taxi,s etc; Not sure when we will be going back to Goa but if we do we would certainly stay at the Casa Severina.

Clean, modern B&B
Overall, the stay was very good. The room was clean, modern and comfortable. It had a large A/C unit that kept it very cool. We had 3 breakfasts and 1 dinner at the hotel. The food was good and the variety was OK -- basically what you would expect from a family run B&B. The hotel has a nice outdoor pool. They also have complimentary bicycles which was very fun. This hotel is about a 15-20 minute walk from the beach. This wasn't bad for us because it was so hot (late September) that we didn't spend much time there.

Gorgeous boutique hotel
Brilliant little hotel. We stayed in room f12 which was huge, with a gorgeous big balcony and filled with antique furniture. The staff are extremely friendly and helpful, and ensure everything is extremely clean and well looked after. The grounds and interior are gorgeous, really unique and the whole place is very tranquil. The swimming pool too is lovely however as the beach is only a short walk away it's very quiet, so perfect for relaxation. The only problem is to get anywhere is down a bit of a dirt track but I think this is the same in most places and taxis are really cheap and easy to come by. During the day this is no problem and the beach is only 5 mins away or you can use the complimentary bikes. Breakfast is ok, but the lunch/ dinner is good and drinks are really cheap!
