Claudia came to Los Roques six years ago as a tourist. After seeing and feeling the Los Roques beaches, she fell in love with this 'paradise,' as she calls it, and decided to stay. She is Italian, and she traded in her hobby of playing tennis for snorkeling, diving, reading and listening to music at Los Roques.
As she studied tourism in Italy, she was prepared to run the posada with her friend Maurizio. They share a passion for meeting people from other countries and making their stays as pleasant as possible.
Maurizio was one of the first Italian immigrants in Los Roques. He came here twenty-three years ago and also fell in love with the blue water of Los Roques. He loves animals and he knows the importance of explaining to guests about taking care of the coral reefs, not eating lobsters out of season, supporting Biological Station and putting the garbage in its correct place.
They have an unusual pet named Maya. She is a spectacular Guacamaya, and is so close to Maurizio that people say she is his girlfriend. She will eat his sandwich and his soup and plays with his keys. A secret tip of Posada Arrecife is that famous people from Venezuela and abroad come to this house to be pampered and enjoy marvelous vacations. If you need more information to come here, please feel free to contact them.
