Room types

The rooms at Cà do Franco share some basic features: private bathroom, air conditioning, flat-screen TV and a good level of soundproofing, designed to ensure a comfortable stay even in the hottest months. Parquet floors and carefully chosen furnishings characterise the entire property, keeping a consistent style across the different room types.

The main difference lies in size and capacity: the Deluxe Double Room, the most compact at 23 square metres, is designed for couples and has its own private terrace, while the two family rooms, of 30 and 26 square metres, offer an additional sofa bed and can accommodate up to four people, making them suitable for families or small groups. A minibar is present in most of the rooms, while balcony and city view set the family rooms apart from the double room.
