Tucked deep within the lush hinterlands of Goa, a 10,000 sq. ft. villa lies quietly embraced by dense forest - a home that feels less constructed and more discovered. Designed by DADO Architecture, Casa Tranquilo embodies the spirit of slow living, where time stretches, noise recedes, and the rhythms of nature set the pace.
