The Afonso Guest House, run by Panaji’s reputed Afonso family, is more than just a guest house to its many patrons. Nestled in the capital city’s quaint Latin quarter of Fontainhas, it is a veritable bridge between Goa’s Portuguese past and Indian present. A favoured haunt for many an adventurous traveller for over two decades, its hospitality and peppy spirit show no sign of aging and are still as fresh as they were back then.
