A beautifully restored 300 year old Portuguese era manor house that once belonged
to a governor of Macau, Siolim House is now a unique boutique "Heritage"
Hotel in Goa, unlike other hotels.
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 . A family's
history seemed to be fading away, and like so many other elegant homes, it would
see its end. But over three years, without sparing any detail, from its lime
plaster to its patterned floor tiles, the house was lovingly brought back.
Location:
Siolim House is still a private home, and we hate to call it a hotel. The entire
restoration of Siolim House was done with a view to it being a home, and therefore
we were very generous in our use of space. In a building that had twenty four
rooms there are today only seven suites and seven bathrooms. No necessity was
felt to cram rooms in, and so we have spacious public areas and rooms.
Accomodation:
Siolim
House would be thoroughly enjoyed by that kind of person who knows that luxury
has nothing to do with hotel receptions, air conditioning, glass atriums, piped
music in hotel elevators, bell boys with funny caps, 'coffee shop' menus, uniformed
waiters, checkout times, complaints departments, guest service officers and
other such things and has everything to do with giving yourself the chance to
really relax. Siolim House is no competition to a hotel until the day they all
want to be like us, which is highly unlikely! ("you can't run a hotel like
this!").
We hate to call Siolim House any thing but a home, so call it yours while you
enjoy your holidays in Goa and unwind on nearby goa beaches, that are among
Goa's most wonderful.
Once our guests visit nearby Mandrem, Morjim, Arambol and Ashwem beaches they
can never go anywhere else, and Siolim House is hugely fortunate in being located
so close to these beaches where you can really feel you own miles of empty beaches.
While on holiday in Goa you can also enjoy Goa's alternative culture or see
the historical and cultural sights of Goa
