Goa has some of the most tasteful heritage properties, and yet, most of them remain in ruins. The Palacio Do Deao in Quepem, South Goa, is one exception. 

Clyde spends a day at this lavish mansion, uncovering its history and speaking to Ruben and Celio Vasco Da Gama - the couple responsible for restoring the mansion to its former glory. Manicured lawns with mermaid statues, a view of the Kushavati river, and a Michelin-standard hearty lunch is what greets Clyde here. A perfect place to spend a susegad day. 

Join Clyde on this tour, and be prepared for some mouth-watering food descriptions!
