Siolim House
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
