Hotel Blu di Te offers seven room types, from the compact 14-square-metre Single Room to the 30-square-metre Suite with Balcony, also designed for families thanks to the extra sofa bed. The double room options include the Standard, the Deluxe and the Superior Double/Twin Room, the latter designed for guests who prefer flexibility between a double bed and twin beds.
All rooms share air conditioning, a private bathroom with shower, hairdryer and courtesy set, along with a vintage-style decor featuring warm colours and parquet flooring. Several room types, such as the Junior Suite, the Suite, the Deluxe and the Superior, have a private balcony, while the two Deluxe and Superior rooms also offer more direct access to the rooftop pool, a detail that sets them apart from the rest of the range.
The Standard Double Room is the most compact of the double rooms, with 18 square metres decorated in warm colours and parquet flooring. It has a private bathroom with a spacious shower, air conditioning and TV, without a balcony or particular view, ideal for an essential stay.
Larger than the Standard, the Junior Suite with Balcony offers 24 square metres and a private balcony overlooking the street, along with warm-toned furnishings and parquet flooring. The bathroom has a spacious shower, and the room is air-conditioned and soundproofed.
Designed for solo travellers, the Single Room is the smallest room type in the hotel, with 14 square metres and a single bed. It still has a private bathroom with shower, air conditioning and TV, in the same warm tones as the rest of the property.
This is the largest room in the hotel, with 30 square metres and a private balcony. Thanks to the extra sofa bed, it can accommodate families or small groups, setting it apart from the other suites precisely because of its space and greater capacity.
The distinctive feature of this room is its proximity to the rooftop pool, along with soundproofed walls and a bathroom with bidet. With 22 square metres and a private balcony, it is one of the most requested options for those who want to enjoy the pool without straying too far from the room.
This room also overlooks the rooftop pool, a feature it shares with the Deluxe, but at 20 square metres it is slightly more compact. The name reflects the possibility of a flexible configuration between a double bed and twin beds, useful for double or twin occupancy.
