The owner

Fernando Mansur

House of Mosaic is one man's house before it is anything else. Fernando grew up in it, opened it to guests on the first of August 2004, and has not stopped decorating since.

Candlelight on carved wood, red velvet and lanterns at House of Mosaic

He is the artist as well as the host. The mosaics climbing the walls and walkways, the carved wood and velvet and gold that catch the candlelight, the gallery that keeps filling with new work: it is his hand throughout, and he is usually somewhere on the property, adding to it.

He painted the main entrance doors himself. The crest on them came off those doors to become the mark of the house, and it is the same mark at the top of this page.

In 2008 he found an 1890 Chinese opium bed in a Dutch antique shop in Curaçao and brought it across the water. It has anchored the house ever since, and the Spa in a Bed ritual takes place inside it.
