The seven room types at Hotel Borgovico share air conditioning, private bathroom with toiletries, flat-screen TV and free WiFi connection, but differ considerably in size and bed configuration. They range from the 12 square metres of the Standard Single Room, designed for solo travellers, to the 48 square metres of the King Deluxe Room, the largest in the property and suitable for families with children thanks to its capacity for four people.
