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.

If you want to have a quite , peaceful Goa experience away from the city noises within North Goa, choose “Cancio’s”.

You get to stay in nicely done cottage beside the main 500 yr old house. Spend mornings chitchatting with homestay owners Ruberto and Rackel over a cup of Tea/coffee and freshly delivered Goan Pois.

You can either do nothing and listen to natures sound or take a bike and ride to nearest towns / site seeing. There are also quite a few nice restaurant within 5 km range where you can have your Fish thalis.

All in all if you want a Susegad Goan experience, you should definitely make Cancio’s a part of your North Goa trip.

Staying at this homestay was the best decision for our Goa trip. I was looking for a place with friendly hosts to experience local culture and food, and this was perfect!

Roberto and Raquel welcomed us like family, cooked amazing home-style Goan meals, and even took us to a Sunday church prayer on our request—something new for us as Hindus. Our stay was filled with great conversations about Goan culture and traditions, making it even more special.

What touched me the most was how they cared for me during my pregnancy. They ensured I was comfortable, offered thoughtful advice, and Raquel even soaked dry fruits for me like a family member would. Knowing it was our babymoon, their son Harrison, who has a passion for photography, kindly took beautiful photos for us using his camera – such a heartfelt gesture!

We also had so much fun playing with their adorable pets—Leo and Simba, the dogs, and Oreo and Pepper, the cats. Meeting their lovely family, including their 93-year-old mother and three children, made our stay even more memorable.

The homestay itself is a stunning 500-year-old heritage house surrounded by lush greenery. Whether you want to explore Goa or just relax, this is the perfect place. It felt more like visiting family than staying at a homestay. I’d love to come back again!
