Residence regulations
By crossing stone arch of an old house by Vie Trento e Trieste 4, you will enter a diffrent world. Dont be suprised that here, rules semi-darkness and chill. House was built four hundred years ago. It is a very old house. Narrow alleys give you a shadow durning heat and warmth durning winters. House has its scent. It also has a folded personality. Cement floor of main hall have cracks and refractions, and so have beautifully uneven walls in the rooms and stairwell. Just lock the doors behind you. To open them again, pull old hasp to yourself. Never leave the house without a key.
On the street you will arouse curiosity. It is polite to greet every passer-by with the word Salve, which is adequate to every time of the day. Remember dear guest – you are our ambassador.
Culture and tradition is living in Casa Antica
Mind your head. The doors are low here. You are in Italy, local residents are not well known for their height. The hallway and the bathroom (corridoio e bagno) have the youngest design – from the 60s. We kept it unchanged. Therefore, forgive us that there is no wash basin. Little Vasca is perfectly sutied for the task instead. In it, you can wash your hands and legs, also you can use it to do your laundry. Save water. Water is provided to the house dircetly from the mountain spring. There is not always adequate pressure. Do not get angry that the water can be cold. We need to warmth it by using boiler made in times of John F. Kennedy. The boiler needs time to heat up the water, it also consumes a lot of electricity, so don’t forget to turn it off after usage. Soggiorno e cucina, which means Living room and kitchen, have a real suprise for you. Look with care at the chestnut wood of the ceilings and the wooden beams made of alpine larch. Look at the details. Do you already know what hangers are made out of and from what are curtain rods? Therefore, appreciate that you sleep on somewhat strange pillows, covered with a Cushion cover. If you feel cold, cover yourself with a bedspread. Remember that you are at a considerable height and your body needs time to acclimatize, you might be feeling a little sleepy.
