Managed by The Blue Kite, Villa Fado, with spacious interiors, a private heated pool, patio and more, lets you kick back, relax and experience the slow rhythm of Goa.
The idea of a vacation in Goa has drastically changed over the years. Growing distant from the party postcard, it is emerging as a quiet vacation destination where mornings are slow, trees outnumber traffic, and days are centered around lounging and relaxing. Tucked into the leafy lanes of Assagao, Villa Fado, by the Blue Kite, fits easily into this narrative—a four-bedroom home that feels less like a holiday villa and more like a home away from home.
Villa Fado, designed by Vianaar, reflects a signature Indo-Portuguese architecture, paired with well-curated modern details. It comes with its own private pool and a lush garden, but what truly sets it apart are two key elements: a grand circular staircase and a tree around which the entire home has been designed. The tree sits in a personal courtyard, with rooms and pathways built around it, creating a strong connection to nature and a sense of calm that runs through the space.
The first thing you notice when you enter is the double-height ceiling and the striking circular staircase that curves up through the space. It’s not just there to connect floors—it’s been designed as a visual centrepiece with terrazzo risers, wooden treads, curved handrails, and delicate POP moulding. A skylight above brings in plenty of natural light, casting changing shadows across the walls throughout the day.
Each room in the house has been given its own identity. The bedrooms are air-conditioned, with ensuite bathrooms and access to the pool or large private balconies. The flooring uses handcrafted cement tiles, with a different pattern and colour story in every room. The lights give off a soft, ambient glow, and the ceilings are finished in lime plaster with exposed wooden rafters, adding a sense of warmth and old-world charm.
Outside your rooms, the villa offers expansive and open living and dining areas, with large windows opening to the pool and patio. The layout supports fluid indoor-outdoor living, with abundant natural light and fresh air flowing through the home.
You also have a well-equipped kitchen with a refrigerator, microwave, coffee maker, toaster, blender, cooker, kettle, cookware, and cutlery. If the laziness kicks in and you do not wish to self-cook, a cook can also be arranged to prepare meals.
With its soft textures, organic forms, and rooted connection to nature, Villa Fado offers a living experience that feels calming, intentional, and timeless; a home shaped as much by restraint as by design expression.
