Traveler reviews
Cri Bar
★★★★★3 years agoReally interesting! This small museum was a private residence and people leaved there until recently. Then has been bought by a company that restored the house and transformed it into museum. Very kind staff that explains vividly details of the house, serves tea and coffe and let you dress the table of the kitchen as in the past. A very pleasant and interesting experience, I really recommend.

★★★★★3 years agoVery friendly staff gave our daughter a fun exercise to do while walking through the house. Audio tour had lots of interesting information, and the house itself is very pretty and well worth a visit.
