For us, Savio and Pirkko, Olaulim Backyards is a
creation of shared dreams . Much traveled, we set about building our
beautiful home by the Olaulim River, careful to keep away from the
tempting beaches and its ever-increasing tourists. Conceived as a
typical Goan casa, we have carefully melded together the resident
foliage and sprawling house, creating an ambience that surprisingly
showcases an ongoing conversation between them. A perfect instance
of the outside meeting the inside.
Manuel and Shameena, our children, keep the casa vibrant with their
exploratory playfulness. And the play gains character by the sheer
number of pets in the family: Four dogs namely Manali, Laku, Max and
Sibu. Then comes Kisu-Misu the Cat, Caio the Pony and Mantra the Donkey.
We hope you will be comfortable accepting our pets since they are
very much an undeniable part of the family.
