Siolim
House Heritage Resort in Goa is a 350 year old Portuguese
era manor house that once belonged to a governor of Macau, saved
from almost certain ruin in 1996, and carefully restored primarily
as a home. Although still a home, it is now a unique "Heritage"
boutique Resort in Goa, and operates with a sensitive
philosophy very unlike a Resort. In the our most thoughtful reviews
you will often hear "understated", "elegant",
"lacks artificiality". 10 years we have been operating
this is what we want to hear.
When we decided to restore the house in 1996, Siolim House's future looked bleak - for five years it had fought a losing battle with the Goa monsoon (see the before and after photographs) that over the period the of Portuguese Goa single handedly reduced thousands of houses and Palacios in Goa to the red earth! At least this house, one of the last surviving in the older Casa de Sobraado style and and among the oldest in Goa would get a fair chance.
22 rooms were convered into only 7 large suite accomodation named after trading ports of the 17th century (the century in which Siolim House Heritage Resort Goa was built), including one two roomed apartment (all with ensuite facilities) sleeping a total of 16.
