Fort Tiracol Heritage Hotel

We stayed for a couple of nights in this beautiful heritage hotel, just to chill. The location is glorious, with fabulous views across the river and the sea towards Arambol. This historic fort has just seven rooms, all slightly different and named after the days of the week. Our room was quite large with a huge en-suite bathroom and dressing room. Befitting the ambiance, the room was furnished with period furniture: a huge four poster bed, beautiful mirrors etc., but of course with all the modern amenities and an excellent shower. The views from our room were enchanting, and we had a nice little terrace/balcony. The staff were so hospitable and amiable, nothing was too much trouble. The fort is set in a nice little compound, complete with an old Portuguese church and the lovely Tavern Restaurant and Terrace (separate review to follow). There is not a lot to do, apart from a couple of nice walks; it is a little bit remote. It was ideal for us as we just wanted to relax for a couple of days and enjoy the atmosphere. If you want to stay longer and explore the area you would need a car or at least a scooter (and keep in mind that the ferry is dependent on the tides). Ideally, I would have loved a pool. Apparently that is planned, and they want to build a modern hotel on an adjacent field. I just hope it won’t destroy the uniqueness of this charming boutique hotel.

The staff & service is superb, the hotel is luxurious & the rooms are exactly as shown in the pictures. It's quiet & away from the crowd and noise. The food was very good too. To get to the beach you need to take a ferry to cross over to querim Beach which is secluded & barely a few people around. It's the perfect place if you like the sounds of waves & nature (as against noisy tourist places) .

Very welcoming staff, awesome property. Excellent receptionist. Courteous & caring ***agement. Will surely highly recommend this gem of a Fort heritage hotel.

A magnificently located and beautiful experience. However, a cooling plunge pool is really needed. The beach is an adventure reached via a ferry. Lovely umbrellas or shaded set ups are available on the beach free if you are consuming from the vendors. Swimming was safe and sublime

Breathtaking view. One could simply sip on their wonderful cocktail and spend hours looking at the beautiful shimmering sea. Of historic relevance, this hotel was originally a fort built by Raja Bhosle in the 17th century, on the banks of the river Tiracol. There are two approaches to the fort from mainland goa - across the Maharashtra border by road or by ferry. Very quiet n beautiful. Untouched beauty. Less people visited fort that is why it is so peaceful. The food served here is lip smacking, clean and most importantly soulful. Decadent desserts and very hospitable service. staff go the extra mile to ensure your stay is unforgettable! I highly recommend this hotel for a leisure trip.

Great place if you are looking for a heritage stay experience with less frills and ultimate peace. The location and the premises are enough by themselves to deliver an authentic experience. The staff is very polite, attentive, and prompt to assist(we nearly lost our car keys but the hotel team was very supportive in helping out). The restaurant has a brief but sufficient menu and all the food items that we tried out were deliciously prepared and served within no time. The rooms are spacious for two people, and if you get the ones on the upper floor then you can be assured of a great sea view. All the rooms on both floors have a sea view, regardless. The bathrooms are tastefully done. Maybe the bee linen and curtains could do with some re-thinking. It does not go with the feel of the resr of the hotel. However, the cleanliness of the linen is uncompromised. The nearest beach is very easy to get to. A 10 minute drive to the jetty and a 5 minute ride across the creek to the other side is all it takes to enjoy your time on the beach. If you are planning to drive down from Mumbai or Pune, I would highly recommend taking the Karad- Anuskura - Kankavli - Kudal - Tiracol route. The road is in great condition, is scenic once you are past the NH48 and Karad, and 100x better than the Ajra-Amboli route. Would like to appreciate the staff, especially James, Succorin, and others in the restaurant as well.

The fort was originally built by maharaja, taken over by Portuguese and now turned into a lovely boutique hotel. There are 7 rooms, each named after one day of the week. It almost feels like in Portugal. Lovely place for honeymooners or lovers with good service. The views are stunning overlooking the Arabian sea and the sandy beaches.

Nice location and excellent service.It is a 400 years old fort with rooms now and great view.Food is good.Hidden gem of a place.Thanks Anisha, Uttam and team.A place I would visit again without hesitation.
