The River

The brilliantly blue Chapora

Our home stands tall along the banks of the brilliantly blue Chapora River, where time seems to slow down and the breeze carries the whispers of coconut palms and birdsong. The property is spread across three levels, but it is the two independent apartments on the first floor that truly captivate — each one fronted by a spacious veranda that opens directly onto views of the wide, flowing river. Here, you can sip a morning coffee, read quietly through the afternoon, or let the night unfold around you with wine, music, and conversation — all while the river flows gently past.

Each apartment is thoughtfully furnished, with a bright living room, a comfortable bedroom, a modern bathroom, and a fully equipped kitchenette that makes you feel instantly at home. The air-conditioning is powerful, the WiFi is strong, and a reliable power backup means you are always connected and at ease. From electric kettles and toasters to induction heaters and refrigerators, everything has been selected with your comfort in mind — allowing you to enjoy your meals indoors or out on the veranda as the river breeze wraps around you.

About Siolim

Tips & Places Around Siolim You Shouldn’t Miss

Step outside and you’ll find yourself in the middle of everything — yet surrounded by peace. Uddo Beach, a hidden stretch of sand that few tourists ever find, lies just a kilometre away, perfect for undisturbed swims and long, reflective walks. And when you’re ready to join the buzz, the celebrated beaches of Morjim, Anjuna, Vagator, and Arambol are only a short drive away.

Amancio Bar and Restaurant

Amancio sits by the Chapora river, just off the bustling fish market which all of Siolim throngs to every morning for their daily catch of fish and village news.

Thalassa

A multi-sensory experience with stunning views, classy Mediterranean décor and authentic Greek cuisine and hospitality.

Soro – The Village Pub

Soro combines the charm of rustic ambiance with a vibrant spirit that sets it apart from other retro pubs in Goa.

The neighbourhood is rich in Goa’s finest cafes and nightlife. Just 500 metres away is the famed Amancio Bar and Restaurant, and within minutes you’ll reach the iconic Thalassa in Siolim, Sorro – The Village Pub, and an array of restaurants offering everything from Goan fish thalis to wood-fired pizzas, butter chicken with naan, or vegan quinoa bowls. You can dine out, cook your own meals with supplies from nearby supermarkets, or have anything you crave delivered to your doorstep through Swiggy and Zomato. The choice, always, is yours.

And yet, what sets Riverside apart isn’t just its location or its amenities. It is the feeling it leaves you with. A sense of comfort without pretence. A calm that is indulgent but never isolating. A connection — not just to a beautiful space, but to an experience that is rare and memorable.

40+ Reviews on Booking

Our guests come from across India and Europe, drawn to our promise of quality, value, and delight. Many return, some stay longer than they had planned, and all carry with them the memory of waking up to the river, of dancing till dawn at nearby beach clubs, of warm chats on the veranda and the luxury of silence. We pride ourselves on meeting the high expectations of international travellers and offering the personal touches that make a stay feel truly special. Our reviews speak for themselves — glowing words, cherished memories, and shared stories we are proud to have helped create.

Riverside is more than a place to stay. It’s a gentle getaway, a home where every detail has been shaped with intention, and where hospitality lives not in grand gestures, but in thoughtful surprises and quiet comforts. Whether you’re coming for a romantic escape, a writing retreat, a yoga sabbatical or simply to breathe easier for a while, we invite you to discover the Goa few people see — and fall in love with it.

Come. Enjoy yourself. And be astonished.
