The Figueiredo Mansion

In the quaint village of Loutolim, the Figueiredo Mansion is a time capsule that whisks you back to the opulent era of Portuguese Goa. This grand heritage home, sprawling over 7,000 square meters, stands as a testament to the wealth and influence of the Figueiredo family, who rose to prominence under Portuguese rule. As you approach the mansion, the imposing facade with its tiled roof and numerous windows greets you, set against the serene backdrop of lush paddy fields. Step inside, and you're enveloped in a world of intricately carved rosewood and teak furniture, oil portraits of the family's illustrious members, and delicate filigreed glass chandeliers. The air is thick with history, each room a narrative of the family's journey from Hindu Brahmins to Christian landowners. Here, every corner tells a story, every artifact a piece of Goa's rich cultural tapestry. This is not just a house; it's a living museum, a homestay, and a journey through the heart of Goa's colonial past.
