Its traditional house has been updated with modern facilities, and the shared lounge has a long table for reading or meeting other guests.

Torinos, the coffee shop on the ground floor, serves handmade cakes, biscuits and tea, alongside daytime food such as lasagna and carrot salad.

Rooms and shared spaces

The guesthouse has air-conditioned rooms with shared bathrooms, plus a shared kitchen and lounge. The semi-private room sits partly open to the surrounding space, though its layout offers some separation. The house combines a traditional style with updated facilities, including toiletries for showering and washing.

A long table anchors the common area. It gives guests a place to read, eat or spend time with others staying at the house. The lounge is also where the guesthouse’s welcoming, social feel comes through.
