The Postcard Cuelim

Tucked away in the serene village of Cuelim, The boutique Postcard Hotel is not just a getaway--it's a time machine that gently transports you to a slower, more graceful era. The location is idyllic: for us the mornings began with unhurried walks to Velsao and Arossim beaches, where the rhythm of the waves and the golden light make every step feel meditative. These daily beach walks quickly became our ritual--quiet, expansive moments that set the tone for our stay.||||Stepping into this six room hotel housed in a 356 years old building feels like entering a heritage home with a soul. The architecture and interiors exude old-world charm--from majestic four-poster beds to a grand old ballroom that doubles as a function space, every corner tells a story. Two in-house chapels, lovingly preserved, add a sense of calm reverence and history. The guest rooms, each opening onto a patio shaded by swaying palms, invite you to pause and truly unwind. There's no rush here, only quiet, luxurious stillness.||||And then, there's the service--gracious, attentive, and deeply personal. It's the kind of service that anticipates your needs before you've voiced them, yet never intrudes. I can confidently say it's the finest I've experienced anywhere.||||If you're looking to recharge, find time for yourself, or reconnect with someone dear, this is where you should be. The Postcard Cuelim doesn't just offer you a holiday--it gifts you time.||||Highly recommended.

Being welcomed by Som and the staff gives you immediately the right feeling; this oasis of rest and luxury is amazing. We stayed for 3 nights and didn't regret it at all. Well maintained facilities, such as swimming pool, badminton field and being located close to the beach (20 minutes walk) makes it perfectly suited for a very relaxing journey. On top the food that is being served is really delicious and high end quality. All of this comes always with a smile from every single staff member, whatever you ask, whenever. Fantastic place to stay for a relaxing holiday.

Excellent stay. Wonderful staff. Delicious |and fresh food served everyday. Beautiful property for relaxing and enjoying Goa. The beauty of an old Goan house is enriched by the luxury treatment received by Postcards. Special mention to Mr Pandurang and all the staff for making my holiday unforgettable

Our holiday at the Postcard hotels started with 5 days at the 5 bedroom Portuguese house in Saligao, which was the best experience. We then moved on to a 9 day stay at the Postcard Cuelim where we met one of the managers - Sahaj. He gave us a great tour around this beautifully restored 6 bedroom home. This is a wonderful hotel in beautiful grounds in a spectacular area. We walked every morning for 3 hours and got to know the area pretty well and the little villages that surround the area. The beach is a quiet 20 minute walk and is deserted and stretches for miles, water is like a warm bath - been absolutely years since we enjoyed a beach like this. The key to us having such a great time is the team that run this hotel. They are amazing, couldn't have done any more for us and really made us feel at home. Would like to mention, as well as Sahaj, are Som - one of the managers, Vishal, Harri and the amazingly talented chef who prepared fabulous meals for us - we ate in every night as the food is so good. Thanks Sahaj for recommending and organising our trip down to the Postcard Hideaway which was not part of our itinerary. We loved our 3 days there and missed it when we left to return to the Postcard Cuelim, but when we got there the greeting was amazing and really felt like we were home! Our last night at Cuelim was a surprise meal for our anniversary celebration - served on the balcony. We were blown away by the effort that was put into this evening by the team - thank you all so much for making it so special. We miss you and will see you next year!!!

We stayed at many hotels all over the world but the Postcard truly stands out in every aspect. The staff did everything to make our stay as comfortable as possible, all with a big smile. The food was delicious. We had a room with a terrace which looked out on the garden where you could see squirrels and beautiful birds. The location was nice and quiet and the hotel has bikes which you can borrow for a short bike ride to the beach. Next time India our choice will definitely be the Postcard again!

Absolutely superb! From the moment we drove up the gate we could see how special this place was. Our family group of 15 were greeted with a very warm welcome and as we walked into this impressive 350 year old colonial house, it felt like home. |There are 6 beautifully designed bedrooms, an imposing hallway that leads up to the ballroom! Towards the back of the property there is a dining room and seating area. The house even has its own chapel. The garden and pool area are stunning.|The staff are the true heroes of the estate - Sahaj is the manager and he is always at hand to help and make sure our holiday is running smoothly. He went over and above to book restaurants for us and gave us great recommendations. Vishal and Pandu are both so helpful, nothing is too much trouble for them. |The food is outstanding, especially the breakfast choices!!! Local Goan specialties to classic Indian breakfast dishes. The fresh juices and fresh bread were just amazing.|We are vegetarian and the chefs went out of their way to accommodate us. |Christmas Day dinner was served outside on a beautifully decorated table and local sparkling wine to start! |I cannot fault this hidden gem - and we are already planning another trip. |Overall, this was one of my favourite places to stay - our family had a fabulous time and we made a lifetime of memories.

We had a very relaxing 7 day experience and Postcard. Beautiful property and very well maintained. Staff is super amazing and very attentive with a focus of making our stay very comfortable and memorable. I would definitely recommend Postcard to other travelers and would personally visit more of their properties and return back to Cuelim.

Had an amazing time at postcard cuelim. It's tucked away in a quiet village less busy south goa but not too far from the airport. The staff are so friendly and go the extra mile to make sure you have great holiday. Two beautiful chapels inside the 300 year old property. Looking forward to visiting postcard again.
