The Double/Twin Room with Extra Bed is the largest and most flexible, with alternative configurations between single beds plus a sofa bed or a large double bed, also suitable for small groups. The two Deluxe rooms, Double with Balcony and Queen, share the same size but differ in that one of them has a balcony overlooking the inner courtyard, while the other offers a more intimate and quiet setting.

It is the ideal option for those traveling as a trio or wanting more flexibility in choosing between single and double bed configurations.
