Casa Palmeira
Portuguese-era, behind a laterite wall, restored with almost nothing added. Four rooms around a courtyard and a cook who predates the owners.
A tight collection of villas, apartments and small hotels in Goa, Alibag, Bombay and Kerala — plus the tables, the shops and the long way round.

First floor of a 1930s building off Wodehouse Road. Teak floors, two bedrooms, a balcony that catches the sea breeze at six.
Bombay to Panchgani the long way. Not the expressway — the village road, the rice fields, and Ambenali: thirty kilometres of switchbacks through unbroken forest.
The tables worth planning around and the ₹200 thing you'll think about for weeks.
Markets, makers, and the walk to take on the first morning.
Water, forest and altitude — with the people we'd put you with.
Textiles, ceramics, spice, and the one thing worth carrying home.
Which house, which nights, the table on the second evening, the car for the drive. One person answers, and they have stayed in every house on this list.
