Set within a gated community in the heart of Assagao, North Goa, House of Arches by SaffronStays is a five-bedroom Mediterranean-style villa that genuinely welcomes pets , dogs and cats alike. Two private pools, an elevator across all floors, and a layout built for large groups make this one of the more practical pet-friendly villas in North Goa if you're travelling with a crew and don't want to compromise on space or style. It's a 5–10 minute drive from Assagao's popular spots like Jamun, Gunpowder, Vinayak, G-Shot, and Devang.

No bathing facility for pets is provided on the property. Guests are responsible for their pet and any damage caused.
The Villa , Space, Layout, and What It Feels Like
House of Arches is built across three floors plus a basement, connected by an elevator , a detail that matters if you have a large or older dog who struggles with stairs. The ground floor opens into a double-height living and dining area with large glass windows that pour in natural light and keep the indoors feeling connected to the garden and pool outside. The kitchen is fully equipped and opens into a dining space for up to eight guests, making those slow Goa mornings with your dog underfoot feel easy and unhurried.
The first floor has two bedrooms with ensuite bathrooms , one with a bathtub and a private balcony. The second floor is arguably the best part: two more bedrooms with ensuite bathrooms and balconies, a plunge pool with deck seating, a kitchenette, and multiple lounge corners. This top floor effectively functions as a semi-private 2-bedroom suite with its own pool, which works well for families who want a quieter, more contained space for themselves and their pets. The L-shaped outdoor pool on the main level is connected to the living area with seamless indoor-outdoor access , ideal for the kind of afternoon where you drift between the sofa and the pool without thinking about it.
The interiors draw from Mediterranean influences: arched doorways, light-toned walls, cane accents, and a neutral palette. The design is breathable rather than fussy, which is practical when you have a dog who may arrive with beach sand or red Goan mud on their paws. The outdoor shower near the pool adds to the ease of rinsing off before re-entering.
Pet Policy , What's Confirmed
This is a pet-friendly stay in the clearest sense , pets are allowed inside the bedrooms, which is the detail that actually matters for most dog and cat owners. The charge is INR 2,500 per pet per night, capped at 2 pets per booking. Guests must carry their own pet food, water bowls, and bedding; the property does not supply these. There is a water outlet outside each room specifically for washing off sand or mud, and a towel is provided for this purpose. No in-room bathing or grooming facility is available for pets , plan accordingly if your dog needs a full wash after a beach day.
Pet parents are responsible for their animal at all times, and any damage to the property will be deducted from the security deposit. Guests also need to carry their own pet medication. The caretaker is on-site between 8 AM and 8 PM; after-hours assistance is available at ₹300 per hour. Breakfast is complimentary for guests. A chef can be arranged on prior request at a minimum of INR 3,500 + GST + groceries per meal.
Location , Assagao, North Goa
Assagao sits in the quieter inland belt of North Goa , close enough to Anjuna, Vagator, and Morjim beaches to make a beach run easy, but far enough from the main tourist strip that the streets around the villa stay relatively calm. For a dog who finds crowded beach towns overwhelming, the gated community setting here provides a useful buffer. The villa is a 5–10 minute drive from well-known Assagao restaurants and cafés. Internet connectivity may occasionally be affected by weather or local disruptions , worth knowing if you're working remotely during the stay.
The villa is listed at starting prices of ₹23,800 per night on SaffronStays, accommodating 10–15 guests across 5 bedrooms. The property encourages full-home bookings for the best experience, though partial bookings may be possible by contacting SaffronStays directly. Free parking is available on the premises, making it straightforward to arrive with a car loaded with pet gear.
What to Know Before You Visit
A few practical notes for pet parents: bring everything your pet needs , food, bowls, bedding, medication , because the villa supplies none of it. The water outlet outside each room is genuinely useful for post-beach cleanup, but it is not a bathing station. If your dog needs a full bath, plan to either use a pet groomer nearby or manage with what's available. The pools are on-site but note that the pet policy does not explicitly confirm pets are allowed in the pools , confirm this directly with SaffronStays before assuming your dog can swim in either pool. Power backup is available via generator, though the genset must be switched off for 30 minutes every 2 hours during outages. This is unlikely to affect a pet stay but worth knowing for multi-day trips during monsoon season.
