The structure is housed in an ancient building dating back to 1885, with three independent entrances overlooking Via Colombo and Via Galiano respectively with gates of the era that still bear the old clapboard and bolts and ceilings from the old wooden beams. From the entrance door located in via Galiano it is possible to admire the ancient original stone staircase, which leads to the three rooms divided into three levels: the first, Rayo verde, with its two characteristic natural stone arches; the second, Piedra desnuda, with its characteristic stone walls; the third, Puesta del sol, with its elegant modern wooden staircase and the typical mansard ceiling, whose wooden beams seem to recreate the branches of a large tree.
