There are no records about the building construction date, all we know is that it was built before 1890 and during many decades this outstanding house was used as a bourgeois family home, then, from 1950 to 2010, she was used, along as the other houses around, as premises of one of the best private schools in town - "Externato Lumen". When the school was closed, this charming house took a two years rest and was then sold to us for renovation in order to transform it in a hostel. In the renovation process we kept it as original as possible in order not to lose her personality. Now our guests can experience living for a while in a XIX century historic building, enjoying the quiet of its garden, and all the comfort of nowadays of its interior.
