Arshad Warsi Offers a Tour of His Restored 150-Year-Old Portuguese Villa in Goa
Last Updated: Arshad Warsi offers a peek into his beautifully restored 150-year-old Portuguese villa, Casa Zen, in Goa. Actor Arshad Warsi recently shared a rare glimpse into his stunning heritage home in Goa — a 150-year-old Portuguese villa that he and his wife, Maria Goretti, have lovingly restored. Nestled in the picturesque village of Saligao in North Goa, the five-bedroom property — aptly named Casa Zen — blends colonial charm with modern elegance. Taking to Instagram, Warsi posted a serene video tour of the house, offering viewers a peek into the tranquil lifestyle he enjoys in his tropical retreat. 'Just a thank you to everyone," he captioned the video, which beautifully captures the essence of the home and its lush surroundings. In the clip, the actor walks through the immaculately maintained property, revealing its whitewashed façade paired with rich brown accents. A highlight is the expansive swimming pool surrounded by oversized terracotta planters brimming with greenery — an oasis perfect for unwinding. 'I just can't get enough of my beautiful house in Goa. Absolutely crazy about it," Warsi says in the video. 'Every day, there is a new place to chill." Inside, the home features an eclectic mix of antique and modern furniture — from carved almirahs and cozy couches to elegant dining tables and vintage chairs. The tour also includes a glimpse of the actor's garden, where a fruit-laden mango tree stands tall. 'Today I've decided to come and sit here. Just outside the house. Look at it, so much greenery," he remarks, adding, 'Lovely mangoes on my tree. It's time to sit here and relax and thank my stars and thank everybody who is responsible for giving me such a beautiful life. Thank you." Staying true to its Portuguese roots, the villa boasts high ceilings, arched doorways, and wooden-framed windows. Yet, the couple has infused the space with their own creative flair — pops of color, tropical motifs, and abundant indoor plants breathe life into every corner. Notable features include a jungle-themed dining area, a vibrant blue cabinet along the corridor, and a striking indigo-hued entrance. Figurines and carefully chosen décor pieces add a whimsical, personal touch. For those seeking a luxurious Goan escape, Casa Zen is also available as a vacation rental. Managed by Wildflower Villas, the entire property can be booked at Rs 75,000 plus taxes per night. Upcoming Projects On the professional front, Arshad Warsi has a packed slate ahead. He is set to reunite with Akshay Kumar for Jolly LLB 3, directed by Subhash Kapoor and scheduled for release on September 19, 2025.
