Dear Helga,
It was not the Peres ladies who preserved that house but an enterprising
NRI-return Mr. Varun Sood. The house in question was falling apart and
abandoned before he bought it. He also owns a wonderful boutique hotel
called Siolim House.
Most of the boutique hotels in Goa, are old houses that were bought and
refurbished by Indians not from Goa. Some enterpreneurs like Sheela
Dhody(Case Britona, Casa Baga,etc) are rumoured to have atleast 20 similar
properties. Non-goan Indians are at the forefront of this great initiative
that preserves our architectural heritage and makes loads of money at the
same time. Rest assured that there are more old Goan houses serving as
hotels than there are havelis in Jaipur.
Regards
Sunith Velho

That's why its truly commendable that the Peres ladies not only preserved
their beautiful house in San Pedro for their future generations but allowed
everyone else a chance to enjoy it too.
