Our 2nd visit to this beautiful old mansion, with its gardens and own paddy field. Came for the 5 course lunch, served on the terrace, excellent Indo-Portugese food with crab, red rice (home grown), fruit mocktail etc. Very nice atmosphere and friendly staff. Recommended.

Fernandes House

Reviewed By 66anandp

There is a lot to Goa other than the beaches, and during every trip to Goa, my partner, Aprajita, and I have sought to hit trails that're less trodden, or still 'invisible'. So, during the most recent trip - to detox what has been a difficult, terrible year via the pandemic - we decided to look at south Goa and thereby, choose to look at Chandor, with its heritage of pre-Portuguese era, and marked its origins in a way. The highlight of the trip was visiting two heritage houses, from the pre-Portuguese and Portuguese era, as family members in those houses walked us through their family histories, the architectural delights of their homes, the different heirlooms and artefacts, connecting us to the past and linking it to the present.

Menezes Braganza House

Tour this vast, sumptuous Portuguese property with a descendant of one of the original owners.

Reviewed By kerrym182 - Hampton, Australia

This old house is a homage to old Goa. Don’t be confused by the adjoining house which is a different house. Originally built by two brothers however the two family’s don’t seem to share the same vision. Me exes Braganza is definitely the better example of the period. The home is filled with amazing antiques and artefacts from a bygone era.
