Figueiredo Mansion

The Figueiredo Mansion in Loutolim, Salcete, is one of Goa's most elegant old family homes and is still owned by the Figueiredo family. The mansion dates back several centuries and reflects the wealth and taste of Goa's landed Catholic gentry. Its interiors include a grand salon, antique furniture, family portraits, porcelain and other heirlooms. Parts of the house are open to visitors by arrangement, and some rooms are run as a heritage homestay. Guests can also book traditional Goan meals prepared from family recipes. Loutolim is one of Goa's best-preserved heritage villages, with other notable houses nearby. The mansion gives an intimate view of Indo-Portuguese domestic life. It is worth the trip for its living history and hospitality.
