Casa Presente Guesthouse

About

Casa Presente is the new name of former Casa Bamboo. The original owners were inspired by a commitment to environmental awareness and they wanted to make use of the local clay soils in the region which make this kind of building possible. This incredible earth based technology creates low environmental impact and an excellent indoor atmosphere during both warm and cold months. The thick walls (60cm) keep away the warmth of hot days in summer and the cold in winter. The high ceilings inclined in wood have good thermal insulation and also create a welcoming atmosphere. The house is divided between the owners residence, the guesthouse accommodation, and the communal space which is also the dining area for guests. Although it is all within the same building, these areas are independent and have an intention to create a place of quiet retreat and sanctuary space.
