- central location (easy walk distance to centre of Panjim, Fontainhas and bus station) - neighborhood (quiet, safe, pictorial neighbourhood, full of history) - incredible host (Mr. Deric is the most loving and caring person, always helpful and friendly. Great company during your breakfast, especially if you're traveling alone!) - lovely tasty breakfast - cleanliness - all the help and orientation provided by the host makes your stay in Goa super joyful and dynamic. Way beyond the casual tips offered by touristic guides.

The location is excellent. It was the city center, restaurants were close by, safe and clean neighborhood. The rooms were spacious and clean. There were good quality goan sweets in all the rooms I had booked and bottled water. The proprietor Deric was very nice, he was there to greet us every morning, was available to talk, and once he also took my aunt and me in his car to buy local goan sausages. He also accommodated my request for last minute room cancellation. We ate breakfast every morning. It was buffet breakfast, different dishes every day from idli sambar, vada sambar, chutney, poha, sheera, sandwiches and watermelon. It was tasty, hot, and we could have multiple servings. Tea and coffee were included. The staff was gracious and polite, and accommodated our request when we asked to pack sandwiches.

For our stay, we liked everything.

Perfect location in a beautiful part of the city. The host was exceptionally kind professional helpful and attentive. He is an intelligent friendly host who went above and beyond to ensure that our stay was wonderful. Panaji is a beautiful city full of culture. Everyone seemed to know Derik even our taxi drivers spoke so highly of him saying how popular and helpful he was so highly regarded! He made us feel so welcome and the icing on the cake was a free breakfast in Soul Curry restaurant around the corner. Possibly the best food I have ever tasted. I would highly recommend this property and the area of Campal and this wonderful city ps Do try the Divar island experience!

Dont look anywhere else for your stay, it has everything you would want. The room is cozy, good aircon, nice secluded porch, quiet at night (important in Panjim), comfy bed and hot water. Water bottles and soap are provided. The street is gorgious with old historical buildings and close to everything. Breakfast is very nice across the street and included. Last but not least, the owner is extremely helpful, gives tips on what to do and helps you in any way he can. Simply a warm and wonderful experience.

Beautiful house/rooms and neighbourhood and a fantastic host. Excellent breakfast across the road. Deric is very observant of his guests, recognises quickly what each person needs and arranged tours and transport for us at extremely reasonable prices. I often travel in Portugal and had an instant "Portuguese country house" déjà-vu upon arrival. The location is walking distance from the city centre, historical district as well as the city beach. Don't miss Panjim, we could easily have stayed a week in this very pleasant city.

That we couldn't stay longer :) Ground floor rooms are a bit dark, but mosquito screens are provided and the street is quiet enough to keep the windows open.

Lovely spacious room, equipped with fridge & plenty of bottles of water (nice touch as much needed!) Very comfortable bed and great seating area outside room with fan. In a quiet area with restaurants nearby and easy access to public transport and lovely park alongside river. Centre of Panaji with attractions an easy 15 mins walk. Deric was a generious host, who was always on hand to answer questions and give plenty of information. Has 3 lovely dogs (which is always a bonus for me! Highly recommended!

We were a group of six.Two of us came in the wee hours of the morning.Deric, the owner, was there to receive them.as he was ,when four of us arrived at noon a day prior. He helped us plan our itinerary, keeping our interests in mind. Our three days in Panjim was well spent. Thanks to Deric. His home stay is located in a quiet neighbourhood, surrounded by trees. It had a rustic feel, with modern amenities. We lapped up the cool, serene atmosphere in the early mornings, sitting in the comfortable chairs on our balcony. Far from the madding crowd, which was just a stone’s throwaway. Just across the road is Soul Curry, the restaurant which catered to our taste buds. The delicious breakfast was complimentary. Deric was there to see to everything. If we needed his suggestions, all we had to do was to give him a call. He would be there to help out. When we plan our next trip to Goa, all six of us will be back at Deric’s home stay. So will our friends. Doesn’t that speak volumes about his place?

To be honest, nothing.

Beautiful historic house in a the peaceful Campal area of Panjim. Deric has made this charming property into a comfortable homestay while preserving and enhancing its antique features. The whole place has a feeling of quiet dignity, yet Deric is so welcoming it feels like home. The rooms are spacious and cool and the plants and trees are a delight. The home stay is within easy walking distance of the commercial Centre and there are taxis and a choice of restaurants nearby. Breakfast is served a few steps away across the road at a restaurant where the food is good and the service prompt and friendly. Deric is an exceptionally kind and considerate host. He checked every day that I had everything I needed and even gave me a late check out in another room because I had an evening flight. I sincerely recommend Vivenda Rebelo to any traveler who values quiet, tasteful decor, value for money, and a genuinely kind host.

We recently had a very comfortable and memorable stay at Vivenda Rebelo. The location, even though in the heart of Panaji, is very peaceful and seems far away from the crowded hotspots and crazy traffic. Our room was very clean and had almost everything required for a brief stay (such as a kettle for hot water, tea & coffee sachets, crockery & cutlery for a couple, glasses etc.). The room itself had a high ceiling which we loved and there was a verandah (so very typical of Goan Portuguese homes) where we could enjoy our morning and evening tea/coffee. A beautiful small garden around the periphery of the homestay makes the surroundings pleasant and welcoming. The breakfast, included in the stay, was at restaurant Soul Curry, located in the lane behind the homestay. The food choice was varied and sumptuous thereby ensuring a perfect start for each day’s sightseeing. Even though it was Jan, the tropical sun was scorching between 10am-5pm. However, the AC in the room and the comfortable beds ensured a peaceful sleep each night. We were also provided with sufficient bottled water each day, which was a nice gesture on the part of Deric. There was ample parking space for a car which was a big plus. Deric is a wonderful host with a wealth of information about Panaji and Goa. He was always available whenever we needed any information. His recommendations on the cultural sights, activities to do and restaurants where one could enjoy the local Goan cuisine were spot on. If we visit Goa again, we are sure to stay here once more and if you visit this place, do give our love to Mojo (who by the way is Deric’s shadow) and the other very friendly dogs.

Deric, the owner, is an excellent host who plays multiple roles in making your time in Panjim interesting and pleasant. He knows everything about this city and can make knowledgeable recommendations on sights, restaurants, events as well as anything else. He also knows much about Goa in general and is happy to share his insights. The delicious free breakfast that comes with the room is at Soul Curry, just across from the guesthouse. The breakfast menu is extensive. You will not leave hungry and Deric may come by to check to see if everything is going well. He has invested in fast, reliable 5g wifi. Everything goes smoothly at the guesthouse and the rooms are well appointed, comfortable and have refrigerators as well as air conditioners. My room, number 3, had a private outdoor sitting area, and two spacious rooms. The guesthouse is beautiful and is in a lovely neighborhood filled with other classic homes. From here it is a short walk to central Panjim. I can recommend, without hesitation, that you stay at Vivenda Rebelo while in Panjim. I am looking forward to returning someday.
