Mitaroy Goa Hotel

When I stay away from home, I like to know where I am, not by looking at the masthead on the writing paper or the logo on the absurdly thick bath towels, but by feeling part of the place. I certainly don�t want to stay in a room with a corporate �house style� that has been �tweaked� to reflect the destination, but to stay somewhere that is rich with what I like to call a �sense of place�. I suppose what I am after is a certain local distinctiveness and integrity. \n \nWhen I choose somewhere to stay, it means everything to me that the building is made of local materials, that it has a history and has been restored or repaired with care. \n \nIn the morning, I am not particularly interested in an extravagant breakfast buffet. What appeals to me more is locally produced food that has been cooked simply and with respect. \n \n
