Hitech Home Decor: Your Premier Choice in Moira, Goa

Moira is a village east of Mapusa, set on a river inlet among fields. It is known for its church with its unusual facade, its bananas, and its many old houses, a good number of which have been bought and restored by writers, artists and families from outside Goa.

The typical Moira house is a single-storey Indo-Portuguese home with a balcão, thick walls, tall windows and a tiled roof. Restoration is done with care for the original features, so furnishing has to respect old woodwork and uneven walls.

Moira is inland and low-lying. The fields flood in the monsoon and humidity is high; lime walls show damp at the base. There is no salt to speak of.
