About Panjim Inn

The Panjim Inn has been part of the Latin Quarter pantheon for many years and was amongst the first big houses of fontainhas. Built in the late 1800’s by Francis Assis D’silveira, a landed gentleman and successful businessman it is owned by the same family over 5 generations. The gilded pelmets and wrought iron railings, which run across the 1st floor balcaos and verandahs, sport the family insignia or brazao of Francis D’assis Silveira.

Diligent restorations preserve the external facade and retain the distinctiveness and intrinsic elegance of the building. While making alterations care has been exercised to conserve and strengthen the 90cm. thick mud, clay and lateritic stonewalls, which make for the basic structure. The massive burmah teak beams and rafters have been treated to protect them from termites and white ants.

Hotel Specifications

Accommodation

There are 14 bedrooms with modern facilities including partial air-conditioning on the premises. Each is quite individual in character; four-poster beds, carved rosewood almirahs, period furniture, and paintings from an in house art gallery generate an air of romance for the present and nostalgia for the past.

Dining

The kitchen serves local and continental cuisine on a 1st floor verandah restaurant overlooking a street junction. Depending on workload, guests are welcome to try their hand in the kitchen or suggest changes to the menu. Sitting on turn of the century rosewood chairs and tables over a beer or a local feni or sipping a juice, one can observe the towns people go about their mundane chores. a little imagination - down memory lane to better times, to an old fashioned world of chivalry and noblesse oblige and you can envision youthful Romeos serenading comely damsels from below the balcaos or perhaps almost hear the wistful lament of a portuguese fado emerge from the shadows of twilight.

Travel Information

In the local dialect, Goa is often referred to as ‘Goa Dourada’, (meaning ‘Golden Goa’) because of its beautiful beaches, forts, churches, waterfalls, seminaries, and caves.

The major beaches in Goa are Anjuna, Claangute, Colva and Benaulim, Dona Paula, Vagator and Chapora, Cavelosim, and many more. Some of the other tourist attractions in Goa include Dudhsagar waterfall and Arvalem waterfall, the rock-cut caves of Khandepar and Arvalem, the Pilar monastery, Saligao seminary, and Rachol seminary. Apart from beaches and other attractions, Goa is also famous for its churches and temples. Some of the leading churches in Goa include, Our Lady of Immaculate Conception, the Se Cathedral, Basilica of Bom Jesus, Church of St. Francis of Assisi, Church of St Cajetan, Church of St. Augustine, and others. Fort Aguada is worth a visit to savor the nostalgia of the Portuguese regime, especially in its lighthouse and the Aguada jail. The Terekhol Fort near the Arambol beach has been now converted into a hotel. The Museum of Christian Art at the Rachol Seminary and church and the Braganza House near Margao are also worth a visit. Besides these, to get a glimpse of the Hindu population in Goa, one has to visit Ponda. The Kerkar Art Complex in south Calangute is also an important tourist center.
