Our family house which is about 100 years old was renovated and expanded preserving the old charming of the colonial house to make a 20 bed room hotel with modern touch. All rooms are air conditioned and have hot water. wifi is available in all areas for free. Facilities such as restaurant, swimming pool, recreational area, etc are available on site.
