Sobre
Fatos rápidos: Step inside and you can still smell brewed coffee while the writer's study sits frozen in time, drafts and African artifacts arranged around a worn teak desk. Garden paths under jacaranda trees lead past a small exhibit of handwritten notes and first editions, drawing literature lovers who come to soak up the atmosphere.
Destaques: Stepping through the front door you can still smell beeswax and old leather, and the guide will show you a tiny brass key stamped 1922 that once locked the writer's study. Every Sunday at noon the original garden bell is rung, and visitors are offered a spoonful of honey from the property's three surviving hives so you can taste the same citrus and jacaranda floral notes the household savored a century ago.
