With renovation complete since 2001, Siolim House is now available as a tastefully decorated heritage villa hotel in the typical Goa colonial architectural style, and also for groups of friends and families to enjoy in large groups.
Siolim House has only 7 large suite accomodation 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. There is also an exclusive guests-and-friends-of-guests-only restaurant, that serves home food. All this built on on a total of 12,000 sq. ft., Siolim House is perfect for those looking for an original place to stay and for some peace....
Note that we do not make a claim to be a 'luxury Goa hotel', or never wanted to be one but simply promise to offer you our keenest hospitality. Be aware also that there are many things we chose not to have such as in-room TVs, airconditioning, etc, considered standard in 5 star and luxury hotels. Also there may be occasional inconveniences linked with our being in a village or being subject to Goa's electric supply. We feel luxury is about you being able to enjoy the time you have and all we do is to assist that. If all this works for you, then in exchange we will offer you anything reasonable based on 100% effort to make your holiday succesful.
Siolim House would be thoroughly enjoyed by that kind of person who knows that luxury has nothing to do with hotel receptions, 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 Goa hotel until the day they all want to be like us, which is highly unlikely! ("you can't run a Goa 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 most finest goa beaches they can never go anywhere else, and Siolim House is hugely fortunate in being located so close to these goa beaches where you can really feel you own miles of empty goa beaches. While on holiday in Goa you can also enjoy Goa's alternative culture or see the historical and cultural sights of Goa.
We have now seen many people at Siolim House, and many return as friends. We believe that all have fond memories and feel the time they spent was special. The house has bonded many guests to us, to others and to the house, and for that we are grateful to the stones and plaster that is Siolim House. Who said houses are inanimate!.We hate to call Siolim House a Goa hotel, so call it your Goa home while you are there. |
