Salient Features
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 1800s
by Francis Assis DSilveira, 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 DAssis
Silveira.

Diligent
restoration Preserve the external facade and retain the distinctiveness and
intrinsic elegance of the building. While making alterations care has been

and rafters have been treated to protect them from termites and white ants.

solitude, away from the madding crowds, watch the splendour of the sunrise
to the tune of the chirping birds and the sound of the waves blend in
perfect harmony with the local fishermen casting their nets for their day's
catch.
