" This couple’s villa in Goa recently won Asia’s Most Romantic Retreat. If “we are the sum total of our life’s experiences,” — Summertime, a villa nestled in the verdant hills just outside the buzz of Calangute, Goa, is quite literally the “sun” total of their owners, Hans Tuinman and Sucheta Potnis’ musings. The villa recently won Asia’s Most Romantic Retreat by the World Boutique Awards 2016, and it’s clear to see why. The Dutchman who together with wife Sucheta built this haven, has birds dropping in for a sip of water and koi’s swimming unfettered. They have taken years of customised tourism, hobnobbing in the most beauteous sojourns across the world to first, build their own home, a gorgeous and palatial chalet, and then Summertime, a sunny welcoming balm of peace on a hill nearby, as their home when they are older. Thankfully, they decided to let eclectic souls in, and give them a chance to experience paradise.
" Located in the bustling Calangute, you might wonder how it’ll be peaceful at this property. But once you get here, the Zen-like tranquility is a revelation. The Balinese-style villa has generously-sized rooms, and the property has plant and animal life integrated into how it’s built. Check out the on-site waterfall! Spend your days lounging about in the infinity pool or the beautifully designed common areas, or if you must head out, rent the owners’ luxury yacht and head out for a cruise.
