Nestling behind the sand dunes of the sleepy Goan fishing village of Mandrem you will find the Villa Rivercat, situated in between ocean and river. This venue is equipped with a beautiful garden with a pond in the centre,trees, plants and a paved hard seating area around the riverside. The property leads directly on to Mandrem beach to a breathtaking view. The villa is the vision of Rinoo Sehgal, a creative mind, traveller and friend of animals, as well as Anne-Maria, an artist, and their daughter Sareka. Arriving on the site in 1990 all that lay before him was a beautiful river creek flowing into the Arabian sea. Rinoo, inspired by the surrounding nature, began to design and build a spacious retreat from local stone and wood. His dream was of a tranquil environment open to travellers and visitors: a space for creativity, good food, music and rest. Having realised his ambitions for the building Rinoo then began to furnish it with artefacts from his travels and contributions by artists who have since shared his home. Guests enjoy a close relationship with the tropical environment: exotic trees, shrubs and creepers line the garden which merges with the lush creek beyond. Visitors may read from the library, gaze through the telescope, practise yoga, marvel at the sunset on the villa's beach or simply relax in the array of hammocks on the airy verandah. At night they feast on an exquisite array of food by candlelight in the beautiful Miau restaurant. Villa Rivercat will be happy to arrange services for you including taxis, motorbikes, bicycles, doctor, travelling advice, yoga, massage, foreign exchange and tickets. Future plans for the villa include a beachfront restaurant and painting materials in each room, whereby guests may indulge their artistic desires. Rinoo understands the plights of developing artists and is pleased to welcome them. If they would like to contribute to the villa?Ã?¢?â???¬?â???¢s art collection, so much the better. Villa River
