All rooms share air conditioning, a flat-screen satellite TV, minibar and private bathroom with courtesy set, and most also offer views over the Ligurian Sea or the surrounding urban setting.
Room sizes range from 11 m² for the Single to 23 m² for the Triple and Quadruple rooms, with flexible bed configurations allowing guests to choose between a large double bed and separate single beds. The Quadruple Room with Disabled Access stands out for its walk-in shower, bidet and spaces designed for reduced mobility, while the Double Room with Sea View remains the preferred choice for those seeking a view of the gulf directly from the window.
