A deconsecrated church is the common place for guests, here they can have a buffet breakfast served every morning, talk or taste something in the sitting room where a wood-fired ceramic stove is lit daily in the cold seasons. Nearby there are various craft activities for the tufo labor and other small shops where the Masters and apprentices carry out ancient crafts.
