At this old-school casa you'll have to walk through the family sitting area, ducking deftly beneath the TV, in order to get to your room. Inside, the house morphs into something bigger, with an ample terrace (equipped with rockers) where you can enjoy an equally ample breakfast. The five spotless rooms come with safe boxes and comfortable beds.
