Villaggio Minerario Rosas


This one-time pit village near Narcao has been resurrected as a museum-complex-cum-hotel with guest rooms in the former miners' cottages. Rooms are basic but well sized and rustic with plenty of wood, brick and exposed stone in evidence; cottages come with kitchen facilities. There's an on-site bar for breakfast, which is not included in room rates.
