Silva Heritage

Vina Fernandes

Silva Heritage is perfect for big family reunions or weddings. We had a reunion with our 15 families so booked the entire Silva Heritage for a week. It was perfect as 3 generations could congregate either in the big hall or in one of the beautiful outdoor spots that captured beautiful photographs. The kids enjoyed swimming in the pool. The staff at Silva ( especially the reception and restaurant) are courteous and ready to assist. Ivanka, Beneeta, Rameez, Gopal and Joao did an excellent job, including extensive knowledge of the history of the place. The botanical grounds were excellent for our 31st Dec dinner party. Rooms were clean and spacious for a couple. The restaurant has good Goan and Indian food. The ambience makes you feel that you are in a rich heritage listed property. The only drawback: you must have your own mode of transport. Shopping is about 1 km away.

The hotel manager and staff greets up when we get out of the taxi and helped us with the bags. Welcome drinks were offered on arrival. The rooms are very nice and each room has its own characteristics. The manager explained to us about the history of the building and it was fascinating. The swimming pool was decent. The hotel was very proactive in recommending visiting sites and restaurants. It is overall a pleasure stay.

A beautiful boutique hotel with true five star service. The entire property is incredibly clean and so thoughtfully maintained. What really sets it apart though is the people. The staff treat the hotel like their own home and extend that same warmth to every guest. From the moment we arrived, we were treated like family. No request was ever too small. Whether it was offering to braid our girls’ hair for a wedding event, taking our laundry for a wash, dry and iron and returning it the very same day, cooking special dishes on request, or checking in on our daughter when she was feeling unwell for a couple of days, every gesture was thoughtful and sincere. Our children felt completely at home from day one. They happily roamed around the courtyard, played freely, greeted staff with confidence and warmth, and were embraced by everyone. It felt safe, relaxed and genuinely welcoming. The food deserves special mention. Breakfast was delicious, with a different Indian preparation each day which we loved. The peri peri chicken was sensational and the pancakes were an absolute hit with the kids. As it is a boutique hotel the rooms differ considerably but all in keeping with the historic relevance of the building. Some rooms are bigger and more spacious and may have different bathrooms. The location is good, but things didn’t seem walkable distance away. That being said taxis weren’t expensive so getting anywhere is simple enough.
