The ceilings preserve the original wooden beams and terracotta tiles. The atmosphere of the living rooms, with their terracotta floors, old brick fireplaces and old restored furniture, is warm and inviting. The kitchens have built-in cabinets decorated with ceramic tiles. The interior doors, as in the old rural tradition, have iron latches in place of the more modern handles.
