A village nestled amidst hillocks, it is known for its natural freshwater and rain-fed lake, which has been described as green and peaceful, and particularly suited for evening visits.[2]
Sarzora is in the vicinity of Chinchinim, Dessua, Dramapur and other villages or hamlets of Salcete. Of late, as in other parts of Goa, Sarzora too has become a venue for real estate deals.
The village church is dedicated to Our Lady of the Assumption, and was set up in 1973. The village is home to the Assumpta Convent and High School, which is run by the FSMA Catholic nuns. This congregation of the Franciscan Sisters Of St. Mary Of The Angels was founded in 1871 in France.
