We had such a lovely 4 night stay in this wonderful homestay in the pretty and peaceful village of Aldona in the North Goan hinterland. Roberto and Raquel are such kind, hospitable hosts – they made us feel very welcome. Their beautiful family home is over 500 years old and has been lovingly restored by them over the years. Our accommodation was peaceful and comfortable in a corner of the beautiful lush garden. It was a treat to wake to all the birdsong in the morning. Raquel is an amazing cook and we ate extremely well every morning and evening. Highly recommend Cancio’s House if you are coming to Goa and would like a more authentic experience of life here.

We stayed at Cancio’s House from 18th to 20th January 2026. It is an amazing place to stay. Full of greenery. We go for a long walk during the day. We also found a small stream where locals were fishing for time pass.

Roberto is a great host. Always ready to help you. He was there everywhere – watering the plants, helping in the kitchen, singing with guitar.

Raquel (Mrs Roberto) served a sumptuous lunch on the day we arrived. She is a great cook. She prepared excellent soup at dinner. The chocolate cake she baked at home for my wife’s birthday was a great surprise for us.

Harman, Antenio and Raffel (3 sons of Roberto) were helping their parents in different chores. Harman sang and played guitar for birthday songs for my wife.

Roberto’s mother and mother in law were great companies in the house.

A little cutie (daughter of one of the 2 helps) liven up the atmosphere.

For one day, we hired scooty from Jeetu and roamed in Aldano. A quick lunch on the bank of Mapusa river at Mhambrey Bar (on the other side of St Thomas Church) was refreshing.

Overall it was a great experience.

We have been visiting this place since 2016 – and have known the hosts Roberto and Raquel for a decade now.They are so warm and welcoming that we feel like extending our stay very time we visit them . Cancios house is a beautiful home stay tucked away in the small village of Aldona away from all the noise , you feel close to nature and you spend peaceful time there. Among all other good reasons to stay with them , the most attractive one being Raquel’s home cooked meals which will make your core memories there.

We arrived middle of the night from the nearby northern airport and directly fell in love with this gorgeous homestay. Raquel and Roberto are excellent hosts, who made us feel home like nowhere else. We had so many great and fun conversations. Raquels cooking is to die for. Next time we definitely stay more than 3 nights.

We have stayed at 4 locations in our GOA trip but Cancio’s house stay was most unique and memorable having close exploration of Goan village life. Peaceful and calm place surrounded by lavish greenery. Morning has a different vibes having bird chirping and fresh aroma. About host, Mr Roberto and Mrs Raquel has hosted us greatly. Home cooked meals were having a great taste having flavor of love. If one want to know Goan culture closely, this place is perfect destination. My both kids enjoyed company of their pets. In short, Vibes of this place is totally different. If one is in a Goa, must stay place in a travel plan. Thanks to Mr Roberto and his family for a great memories. Regards.

We enjoyed staying over here.. garden view is very nice.. clicked so many photos and we got everything which we needed. Uncle and aunty (owner) was very helpful and loving. Overall experience of staying was unforgettable.

We stayed at Cancio’s Guesthouse during our wedding in Goa, and the experience was wonderful from start to finish. The guesthouse is serene, clean, and full of authentic Goan warmth. What meant the most to us was the thoughtful preparation the hosts (Mr Roberto and Mrs Rakheil) did for our first night after the wedding , such a sweet and meaningful gesture that made our stay even more special. Their kindness and attention to detail truly stood out. We highly recommend Cancio’s Guesthouse to anyone visiting Goa.

We loved our five day stay at Cancio’s house. Roberto, Raquel and the whole team made us feel right at home. The house is beautiful, the food is to die for and we learned so much about Goa.

Had a great stay at Cancio’s House in Aldona, Goa. Roberto and Raquel are awesome host and make you feel at home.
