Muy interesante visitar esta casa y acceder a todos sus niveles. Por una entrada casi simbólica, te obsequian con un té y puedes conversar con los propietarios.una vez que visitas este pueblo, es muy recomendable para completar la visita.
Casa típica de la zona lo curioso la cocina de fuego está abajo y el humo sale por toda la casa y es para que los insectos no la estropeen esta toda hecha de paja caña y cuerdas sin clavos en la parte de arriba esta todo para elaborar la seda desde los gusanos capullos y como sacarla el dueño vive en una parte de la casa
Muy interesante ver como vivían, la gerarquia de la familia y todo lo que hacían en la casa.
