Amã Stays & Trails la Maison Fontainhas

location is very picturesque property is unsuitable for people with mobility issues. all rooms are on 1st floor with spiral staircase. no lift. breakfast is not provided at the property. guests are taken in car to another nearby property of IHCL hardly any service at the property

Location is incredible. Easy access to all the restaurants shops and beautiful sites. A bit loud in the middle of the day until 7 pm but silent and beautiful after that

I have booked this hotel through mmt. Initially faced difficulty in finding the hotel. Later check in process is delayed at reception. Breakfast is included in my package but they don't have an in house facility for breakfast and we need to go to another location for having breakfast. Don't have minimum requirements in the room.

The property is in a prime location - itself a key landmark and also closer to some of the sightseeing places in Panaji Goa. There are lots of visitors who take photos with the property as a background- which was surprising to us, later learnt that it is part of the properties that is a tourist attraction. When we step of the property, the tourists looks at us in awe, because we stay in it. Coming to the property, it is a beautiful one, with 8 bedrooms in the first floor with ground floor as a reception and a restaurant space with dining tables and chairs, sofas etc. You will see as depicted in the pictures, nicely maintained. The first floor has a nice drawing room kind of space before you go to the bedrooms with sofas and a reading space allotted with some nice books kept as well. In case you had forgotten to carry a book, you can use the book there. The bedroom allotted to us was the corner one, on the right hand side- was a very nicely decorated one with a huge queensize bed and nice storage table with antique furniture, TV table etc. There is a huge window space as well where you can keep your stuff. The bed was very comfortable and cosy. The washroom was nice and practical, with a separate shower space and the soap kept was the Pears soap(special mention - as it reminded of nice fragrance of the soap). Since the property is maintained by Taj Vivanta Panaji, it is very nice and breakfast is arranged from there with a car sent by them and dropped back. The cartakers - Anil and the person in the morning (forgot his name- he is from Karnataka) are very nice and helpful. The Taj team - who oversee and supervise the housekeeping and the arrangements are exceptional. Will write a separate review of Taj Vivanta Panaji. The parking is outside the property, closer to the other gate. Because of the crowd of visitors, there is a chance of an issue as i faced, with my car getting a scratch possibly by a unruly crowd person. The Taj team graciously agreed to get my car parked in Taj Vivanta Panaji. The first floor also has the issue of noise of the tourists dropping in from morning onwards- but that is a relatively smaller issue, compared to the other comforts. The nearby vegetarian restaurants, particulary GreenR- which offers vegan food were all conveniently located within walking distance. The famous Church is also within walking distance as is the boating and other attractions.

The property is nicely maintained with the staying rooms in the well firmished first floor which has a nice sit in space in the common area with a sofa as well as another sitting area with some books for reading, in case you forgot to bring own books. The rooms are well furnished with a split airconditioner, a nice king size double bed, huge wooden cupboard with additional storage space below the tv table etc. The furniture is of good quality and apart from that there is a huge window space where you can keep some additional stuff, if you want. The bathrooms are nice - one thing i need to mention is the soap they kept is the pears soap(marooning) with its unique nice smell. From the windows you can see the milling crowds almost all the time taking photos against the background of this building. They see you in wonder when you step out of the building. The caretakers anil and thippanna are nice people who attend to your requests politely. The breakfast is at taj vivanta panaji and a shuttle can take you there and drop back. We requested that the breakfast be delivered at ama trails itself - which was also taken care of. The taj hospitality is so good it spoils you - when you stay in other places you tend to find fault in almost everything. The only downside if you call it, is the area is all the time with tourists and there is no proper parking- though you can park near this property. The taj team was kind enough to accommodate me in vivanta panaji for a part of my stay and park my car there- which was truly memorable. I will give a separate review of vivanta panaji team

Booked 2 rooms.Nice heritage property with neat and clean rooms.all the basic amenities were nicely provided. kitchen not operational.Breakfast was provided at Taj Vivanta which was also excellent . NO exclusive parking space for guests. Do confirm if travelling by Car..Should be looked upon. otherwise everything else was perfect.
