Hello and welcome to Casa Artez! We are Alberto and Mia. We are both photographers and videographers and have owned a photography/videography company for the past 16 years. The prints you’ll find in the unit are from our own personal collections. We hope that you will enjoy them! As photographers, we are passionate about beauty. This is why we have put so much love into the beautiful and comfortable space that we have prepared for you. Please enjoy our home and our gardens. We created spaces for you to sit outside and have a relaxing time in the sun. The gazebo in the back is there for your enjoyment. Feel free to lay on a hammock or take your morning coffee outside where the birds and the butterflies will join you. You may also find Mia and our cat Ronaldo (the garden keepers) roaming around. We can’t wait to read your stories! It’s our wish that you will make unforgettable memories in our home and this amazing city, and that you will come back again and again to stay with us.
