Elegant Shades is located in a village just a few minutes away from the usual hustle and bustle.The very fact that we have our residence at the property and available to our guest at any hour , gives our guest a sense of well being and cared for.It is spacious , tastefully designed and in nestled in natures beauty.
We have a base in hospitality industry , had a career on board international luxury cruise liners ,have been around the world love meeting people in different walks of life . Now ,having our own business with my husband Mr. Caitano .
We are located in the middle of 3 famous destination beaches the closest (10-15 mins walk)and the best being Sernabatim beach(10-15 mins walk). It takes 10 minutes walk to Colva beach on right and the same time to the left Benaulim beach from the calm Sernabatim beach .You can find water sports ,and few shacks on this beach . It has just the right amount of people .One can go riding on motorbikes , go bicycling , tuk tuk rides or just walk to beaches , restaurants, and supermarkets.
