In Aldona, inland North Goa, The Project Café has turned a 150-year-old Portuguese villa into an art-first boutique hotel with a pool, gallery, art bar and shop. Rooms are named after Goan places, and and, the hotel says outright, what catches your eye can be bought and taken home.

A Portuguese house of around 1919 at Siridao bridge in Goa Velha, lovingly restored from 2014 by local artisans and reborn as a six-room boutique hotel. Expect a courtyard pool between red arcaded wings, a waterfront cafe with a pastry chef they say is Le Cordon Bleu certified, five resident dogs and the sort of quiet that North Goa's beach belt forgot.

On a headland at the very top of Goa, where the Arabian Sea meets the Terekhol River, a small 17th-century fort keeps a whitewashed chapel and a handful of rooms above the water. Cross on the little ferry, climb to the ramparts, and Goa empties out below you. Fort Tiracol is the quiet, old-Portuguese Goa most people never find.
