The hotel has no “star” classification, the look is far from the concept of luxury, but the publication New York Times has made it to the list of the most unusual places in the world, Times – one of the ten most beautiful hotels in the world, and Tatler di Condé Nast – the hundred best hotels in the the planet. In 1993, UNESCO declared Le Grotte della Civita World Heritage Site. And it is not surprising, because the project is located just inside the cave. Moreover, this is the whole town and the houses here are made of stone.

This particular shell house aptly named “Nautilus House” was given shape in 2006 at a place called Naucalpan in Mexico.
