In the quiet countryside in the village of Assagao, a cluster of 9 villas spread across ~370 sqm forms a fairytale-like gated community. The Monforte villas mimic the close-knit vibe that is typical of Goan-Portuguese towns. Connected to its neighbouring villas, yet independent enough to lure solitude lovers, Villa A is a pretty two-storey space with well-lit spaces and charming sit outs. The scenic outdoors spill artlessly into the living and dining areas, and the charmingly rustic interiors bring to mind the vineyard homes of Tuscany. The neutral canvas is accented with shades of aqua and cobalt blue—seen in the front door—lending Villa A a calming ambience.

A part of the curated ~400 sqm property that is the Monforte gated community, Villa B hits all the right notes. A charming 2-storey home with an inviting aesthetic, airy interiors, and lovely sit outs that look out onto manicured lawns. The laid-back Mediterranean style melds with the warmth of the Indian design sensibilities, creating a modern space that is high on comfort. Pastel shades are a perfect backdrop for the green and blue hues used around the house. All of this is further enhanced by the natural stone flooring that anchors this home in its surroundings.

Every space in Villa C — its 3 bedrooms, the study and the living and dining areas — have been crafted to invite in as much natural light as possible. The outdoors fuse easily with the architecture. While it shares the overall aesthetic of the 9 homes within this gated community, the three-storey Villa C stands out with its stands out with distinct hallmarks such as a unique colour palate that fuses cool blue with muted beige, the terrace—spread over two levels— decorated with lush foliage plants and a Jacuzzi, amidst other highlights. The villa’s handmade tiles enrich the space and offset its carefully chosen furniture. It’s the kind of home made to last for and be enjoyed by generations to come.

Old world charm marries into a modern design language to deliver Villa D that sits within the ~500 sqm Monforte gated villa complex. This home’s neat layout showcases a fluid symmetry between the indoors and outdoors: the green landscaping highlights the neutral hues and pastel shades employed in the home and its furnishings. The flooring of this villa is satisfyingly soothing: it combines natural stone and an inlays in public spaces, while cement tiles, wood and motif-laden stone complement the bedrooms. Villa D’s exquisite designs set the tone for a singular lifestyle experience.

The cobblestoned path that connects each independent villa to the other in this gated complex leads up to a two-storey home that perches as pretty as a picture on ~500 sqm of land. Open the door, however, and the restrained Mediterranean-style architecture is offset by dramatic monotones within. A bright yellow kitchen, blue and pink smaller bedrooms and a bold choice of red for the master—the burst of colour across the spectrum is a sharp contrast to the largely black-and-white herringbone flooring. The exception is the colourful cement tiles in the smaller bedrooms. Villa E is decidedly chic but with an unmistakable Goan-Portuguese element.

Country living gets a modern and fresh lease of life with Villa F, where subtle earthy shades, wooden furniture, rattan decor elements and other accoutrements come together seamlessly. The natural flooring that features a dramatic black stone floor in the entrance and a black/off-white combination in public spaces lend to the feel of a country home. Circular motifs are liberally used to decorate the space, complementing the furniture. Thoughtfully designed, Villa F has been conceived as a space of tranquility and comfort.

White and beige work in quiet harmony in the two-storey Villa H, made even more majestic looking by the large windows and doors that lead to the green-dappled outdoor spaces of the home. A mix of handmade tiles and cement flooring throughout the house work well against the muted tones that are predominantly used, from the walls to the furnishings. But it is the terrace that is especially interesting, with its Shahbad stone flooring interspersed with Chinese mosaic that gives it a striking look.

The last among the 9 villas that dot the ~500 sqm parcel of land that is the Monforte gated community, Villa I is an elegant three-storey home. The double-height living and dining area that is flooded with natural light is a welcoming space beyond the pretty white front door. A subtle, fuss-free design aesthetic is the overarching look of Villa I. The minimalism, however, doesn’t detract from the luxury, with fine-quality materials used throughout the house. The monochromatic colour palate is a wonderful contrast to the cement tiles and handmade leather-finished grey stone that offset the earthy interiors. Chic minimalism was never this compelling.
