| THE PANJIM
INN Amidst winding alleys, decaying
mansions and old portals, this hotel has been part of the Latin
Quarter Pantheon for many years and was amongst the first Big
Houses of Fontainhas. Built in the 1800's it has been owned
by the same family for over 5 generations. Each of its 14 rooms
are quite different in character with four poster beds, carved
Almirahs and period furniture. Original paintings from the in
house art gallery 'Gitanjali' gives an air of romance for the
present and nostalgia for the past. The vintage first floor
veranda with its turn of the century rosewood furniture offer
both local and continental cuisine and the promise of a perfect
evening sipping a cold beer or local Feni. |

A very
popular place, the friendly and caring staff ensures an
atmosphere of warmth and welcome to all.
