Detailed Review
Two hundred and seventy five years of history. An old colonial Goan
manor house, one of the very few remaining in the 16-18th century
Indo-Portuguese style of the casa de sobrado,which preceeded the casa
de patio style. At one time the house belonged to a governor of
Macau, and still has the porcelain china grills that the senhor
brought from the east. Later on other members of the family were
administrators in Portugese Mozambique, which is where its other name
'Mosmimcar' - The Mozambican, comes from. It is in Siolim village, a
beautiful and rustic setllement that is perfectly situated for quick
access to Goa's best and undeveloped northern beaches.
Casa Palacio Siolim House has seven bedrooms (including two suites)
named after trading ports/areas of the 18th century, during the time
Siolim House was at its prime. Each room or suite has attached
tastefully designed large bathrooms. There is a large garden with
bursting bouganvilla bushes and fragrant trees. There are several
large halls, and an 12.5 meter overflow swimming pool, great for
laps!
The property is first and foremost a house, and the informal
atmosphere and interaction with the house and personnel, changes most
guests into friend by the time they have stayed with us. The house
sleeps 16 in eight rooms, and therefore is also perfect for house
parties!
