London, November 10, 2016
Summertime is thrilled to announce that they have won the award for Asia’s Most Romantic Boutique Hotel 2016, from World Boutique Hotel Awards (WBH) in London! This highly prestigious international award was presented in London, England, on November 9th, 2016.
Hans Tuinman, a Dutchman who together with his Indian wife Sucheta built this spectacular villa, said “It is very rewarding to be recognized in this way after just one year of operation as a very special place to stay, as a place that has character, an intimate feel and most importantly, a place that offers guests a unique experience.”
He adds “All this is especially humbling as we are not professionally-trained hoteliers or architects, and Summertime is simply our personal idea of the perfect holiday home: relaxing from the moment you enter the gates, but also sumptuously comfortable.”
Summertime is a luxury holiday rental villa in Goa. Secluded, yet very easy to get to from the popular Calangute and Candolim beaches, Summertime perches on a hilltop overlooking paddy fields and a lush tropical garden. Summertime is a rare villa which enjoys two acres of private gardens, shared with birds, butterflies and tranquility which is fast disappearing even from Goa. There is a large infinity pool which overlooks the gardens and the valley, a waterfall and a koi pond.
Inside, a double-height living-dining area is filled with light and breeze. The three generous master suites – identical in size but charming and individual in character - have large dressing areas, palatial bathrooms and choicest of furniture sourced from travels to Bali and places in India. Fully staffed with a cook, gardeners and security, Summertime is the perfect place for a family or a group of friends to relax and recharge their batteries. Though Summertime has been designed to give six guests a private, serene experience, the views it commands and its abundance of delightful nooks are what make this villa such a perfectly romantic getaway as well.
