Here, todays staircase and the guests
single rooms can be found. Sometimes we did have our concerns, if everything will work out as we imagined. Our guests are feeling at ease today, it became Casa Azuls
lounge, there and then it was a
garage. View into the then-
kitchen. To the right is the cosy
lounge of Casa Azul. Our guests like to sit here and read, chat or make music. Thats what the
bathroom looked like; sometimes we had concerns, if everything is going to be habitable. But it became a beautiful
bathroom with which you can feel at ease. Thats now a very popular and comfortable
guest room. There and then we could hardly imagine this. Under the wallpaper we discovered the wonderful wooden planking. Today you can find Casa Azuls
office here. After removing the old wallpaper all of us were fascinated. Now the delivery of wood arrived. Casa Azul is build completely of wood, which contributes to its cosiness. Here used to stand the old houses
garage. Today the guests like to sit in the cosy
lounge. lets start with the first floor. After all, the home has to get bigger in order to house many guests and allow them to feel at ease.ease with it.
