For that Dream Goan Holiday - look no further
" Summertime and the livin’is easy…. You bet it is - especially in sunny susegad Goa. Summertime is not just a season but a super luxury unique villa.

Gauri Khan Curated This Collection Of Airbnb Homestays In Goa
" Another recommendation by Gauri is Summertime, a stunning villa situated on a hilltop in Calangute. Boasting of an infinity pool, waterfall, three glorious master suites and even a private yacht if your heart desires, the villa will top every travelers list.
The Goa That Flies Under the Radar
" Reclining on a pool lounger at Summertime, a Balinese Airbnb in Calangute, I was mulling life choices. Nap or swim? The water in the infinity pool rippled. All around me was lush greenery. Considering how content I was after a glorious lunch at Avozin—a Goan restaurant 20 minutes away—a nap seemed like the right choice.
5 Exciting Ways You Can Vacation In Goa Like A True Blue Insider!
" I visit Goa at least twice a year. I live in hotels, I go to the same beaches, I go to the same ‘popular’ places to eat, drink and party. Like everything else, even Goa was getting monotonous. That’s why, when the good people at Airbnb India told us about their plans to launch a 31-page Goa Insider’s Guide, I was over the moon. I was taken to Goa for a 2 day trip where I lived in a gigantic villa, participated in a photo-walk, attended a Paul John Whiskey tasting session and saw this handy guide being launched amidst celebrities.
Calangute’s Hidden Nook
" Summertime, sheltered within verdant gardens and with views of paddy fields, is Sucheta Potnis and Hans Tuinman’s love child. The two, for years, have run Odyssey Tours and Travels that offers tailor-made experiences in India. Summertime, says Potnis, has been a dream and “my retirement plan” whose time had come. “We were seeing rampant development in the area. We have a house here and also owned another patch of land. So we decided to build a villa on that land to protect Calangute’s last green lung. I had always thought of building a Balinese-style villa. Most of the stuff you see in here has been brought on our travels in Indonesia. Some have been handcrafted by traditional Goan masons. And some of the furniture is by a Frenchman living in Pondicherry, who restores and reworks discarded heritage pieces".
Live the Villa Life in Goa
" We stayed at the award-winning Summertime, secluded on a hill, with easy access to Calangute and Candolim beaches. Here, the flavours of the real Goa unfolded like an unscripted play. The three-bedroomed, one-storeyed villa — with a deep, pillared verandah — is ensconced in its own private wilderness and enveloped in a silence so deep that the mere crunch of dry leaves underfoot made trilling birds pause. But it’s the hedonistic escape that Summertime provides, “a put-your-feet-up-style luxury,” as owner Sucheta Potnis describes it that is so alluring.
An enchanting private villa
" Summertime is an enchanting private villa on a hill, situated a few minutes away from Goa’s popular tourist neighbourhoods. Offering three well appointed bedrooms in a lush estate, the villa can be rented out only in its entirety.
Quirky Escapes
" There’s total quietude at daybreak, except for the sound of water slapping the sides of the classic 42ft yacht oozing oomph and style.
Romantically named Solita, it is Goa’s first luxurious boat available for charter. With three decks, cozy niches for reading and sipping cocktails, a lounge with a pantry and two teakwood cabins that exude an aura of easy elegance… the Solita may well make you feel like a wannabe Jacqueline Onassis.

Drop anchor and stay for a night or two at Summertime, a luxury villa owned and run by the owners of Solita.
