Siolim House in Goa, India

Two hundred and seventy five years of history. At one time the house belonged to a governor of Macau from an aristocraic family, and still has the porcelain china grills that the senhor brought from the east. Later on other members of the family were administrators in Portuguese Mozambique, which is where its other name 'Mosmimcar', 'The Mozambican', comes from.

The house was bought by its present owners in 1996 and the first renovation completed in 1999. The aim was to bring the Palacio back into use, and its 22 rooms were convered into only 7 large suite accomodation, all with en suite facilities named after trading ports of the 17th century (the century in which Siolim House was built), including one two roomed apartment (all with ensuite facilities) sleeping a total of 16.
