The Menezes-Braganca house is a 16th-century mansion, nestled in the glory of the ancient capital of Goa, Chandor, amidst exuberant gardens and an air of royalty. The house is known to be more than 400 years old and is home to some priceless artefacts dating back to the 16th century.

The mansion is filled with fascinating design features - wooden panel ceilings and variegated flooring along with finely etched reverse glass paintings and photographs of venerable ancestors deck the walls of all the rooms.

The jewel-toned glass panels in certain windows and doors create a mystical kaleidoscopic reflection in the rooms when the sunlight filters through.

The exquisite ballroom is illuminated by spectacular Belgian glass chandeliers and intricate, fine-crafted furniture , priceless porcelain from the Ming and arches on the entrances with mirror frames that are adorned with 24-carat gold leaf, add to the old world charm of the home.
