Afonso Guest House

This is such a lovely quaint place right in the heart of Panjim, very convenient. This place is like home, neat & super clean. Beds are comfortable, bathroom/toilet is clean. No mosquitos. the place is done up so tastefully. Jeanette is such a lovely host and always helpful. Clifton has made a beautiful botanical garden, so mesmerizing.

We had a wonderful time at the Afonso Guest House! We arrived in the early hours of the morning and owner Jeanette arranged for a driver to meet us at the airport and let us in to the guest house before breakfast. Jeanette her son Clifton and their staff were extremely helpful and friendly throughout our stay - no question or request was too much! The guest house was simple but comfortable and spotlessly clean with a cool shady roof terrace. The area of Fontainhas is full of beautiful historic Portuguese - era buildings and some lovely cafes and restaurants. Other areas of Panaji are an easy walk / tuk tuk or taxi ride away. We would heartily recommend the Afonso Guest House! Thank you Jeanette, Clifton and team for making our stay in Panaji so enjoyable!

A charming, quiet, and beautiful guesthouse in historic Fontainhas, the old Latin Quarter. It is within walking distance of most of the sites in old Panjim, as well as the floating casinos if you're a gambler. The proprietors, Jeanette Afonso and her son Clifton, are friendly and helpful, even with last minute taxi arrangements. Breakfast on the plant-filled terrace provides views as well as excellent coffee and poee bread with your omelet. The neighborhood, because it is beautiful, does get a fair number of walking tours and wedding shoots (or couples just into themselves enough to hire a team of photographers to follow them around), but that doesn't distract from its charm. Besides, in ten minutes you can be gawking at the Church of Our Lady of the Immaculate Conception, browsing for books in Singbal's Book House, or eating puri bhaji at Cafe Tato.

We’d love to stay here again, it really was perfect in every way. Incredible staff and wonderful breakfast. The location is brilliant for walking around the most interesting area of Panjim. The room was very comfortable, it did feel like a home from home!

Afonso guest house is right in the middle of one of the most picturesque part of Panaji. You can see tourists queueing up on the nearby roads to take all sorts of pictures. The guest house had an excellent old world charm to it. The rooms were cosy for two & had hordes of books. You can literally spend the whole day reading them sitting on a terrace full of beautiful flowers. Afonso madam was very helpful with her knowledge of nearby places. Her recommendations of food & places to visit were spot on. This was one of the highlights of our trip & should be on yours too if you are looking for a quote stay away from the maddening crowds of Baga & Calangute!

Afonso Guest House is a fantastic place. Very helpfull staff, yummy breakfast, making you feel at home right away from the minute you arrive. They will do all they can to make your stay in Goa be just 100% as it should be, relaxing, fun, with no stress whatsoever. I was here for 10 daysand I would do it again, right away 👌🏽❤️
