Anjuna, Goa’s most vibrant neighbourhood, is home to the heritage property turned boutique hotel Mansion Haus, which is ready to dazzle visitors with its timeless architecture, specially crafted culinary excursions, and luxurious accommodations. Kezya De Bragança refurbished the 18th-century family home known as MansionHaus.
The former private mansion has been transformed into a luxury boutique hotel. It is proud of its characteristic Goan architecture and neo-classical décor, which gently strike a balance between hotel comforts and environmental concerns.
Every meal is guaranteed to be an epicurean adventure to remember when it is prepared using gourmet, organic, and local ingredients. The fact that the company is being led by a Goan entrepreneur, whose family has been firmly woven into the fabric of the city’s rich culture for generations, gives it authenticity.
The pre-independence private mansion has been turned into a luxury hotel where traditional Portuguese charm and cutting-edge design are harmoniously combined.
The property is designed to be a quiet retreat for the discerning traveller, offering all the conveniences, solitude, and familiarity of a home while being rich in history, art, and culture. world-class hospitality to offer a warm human connection and immersive experiential hospitality.
Kezya De Bragança says, “We pledge to offer a true conscious hospitality experience, in harmony with the environment, local cultures, traditions and the communities that uplift them.” The property was home to Kezya’s paternal grand agnate Marie Antoinette. The Salon Privé, previously a ‘Sala’ (room for entertaining visitors) has been named after her and the property layout was retained to exemplify how these spaces interacted for centuries. In restoring the iconic structure, the complex, multi-layered evolution of architecture in Goa and the intricate cultural expressions of Goa have been kept as the leitmotif.

Every suite has a garden or a view of the main garden of the mansion. Weathered wood, polished marble, polished porcelain flooring, distressed surfaces, and muted fabrics have been used in the restoration, which is complemented by diverse art that changes often and is created by local artists.
