GOA, goes back many Centuries in History and was once the Rome of the East! A Meeting Point of East and West - A Confluence of Varied Cultures, Philosophies, Religions and Beliefs, where Civilizations of the Occident mingled with those of the Orient.

Hindu, Christian and Moor, Philosopher and Saint, Prince and Pauper, Mendicant and Noble, Poet and Savant, Mariner and Buccaneer, Fortune Hunter and Adventurer, Artist and Sophist, Foot Soldier and General, Singer and Fiddler, Charlatan and Fraud and so many others of the same ilk have All Passed GOA’S way and left their Print on this Melting Pot and Cradle of Civilization..

A Legacy of this Vibrant Past is Fontainhas - Asia’s only Latin Quarter. Located in the Capital City of Panaji, It’s Winding Alleys and Quaint Bye Lanes, Old Portals, Run Down Houses and Decaying Mansions Stand Testimony to a Grand Era long gone bye!

The Panjim Inn and the Panjim Pousada are Two Stately Fontainhas Homes, Renovated and Restored to Recapture the Nostalgia, Poignance and Aura of the Romantic Past. Both are Heritage Hotels, Unique in Style and Character. While the One is Christian in Genesis, the other is Hindu, both Co-Existing in Harmony with a Tolerant Indulgence to each Others Different Cultural Ethos.
