The entry-level room type of the property, with modern furnishings and a balcony: 16 sqm, the most compact size among the double rooms, with a flexible configuration of a double bed or two single beds.
Compared to the Standard, it gains one square meter and above all a balcony with a direct sea view, as well as garden, pool and city views: a more scenic choice with the same bed configuration.
At 25 sqm, it is among the largest rooms in the property, furnished with a more elegant touch and featuring a bathtub instead of just a shower: the extra sofa bed allows for up to three guests.
Similar to the Double Room with Sea View but with a side view of the gulf instead of a front-facing one: a middle ground between the Standard and the rooms with a full sea view.
Designed for groups of three adults, it shares the 25 sqm size with the Superior but is specifically sized for family occupancy, with a sea-view balcony and the option to choose the bed configuration.
The only room type in the property designed for four adults, with a double sofa bed: same size as the 3-person Family room but higher capacity, ideal for larger families or small groups.
The only solution designed for solo travelers, with a balcony overlooking the garden instead of the sea: the smallest size in the property, offset by a more intimate and quiet outlook.
