Loved by guests
"Claudio's tour, in English, and at no charge for guests, of the tile museum was incredible, and we don't even know anything about tiles."
"It felt we were staying in an authentic street room with balconies like the locals ."
"Every room is decorated floor to ceiling with gorgeous, historic, ceramic floor tiles that the owner has collected since he was a boy."
