Those traveling in large groups can choose the 4-Bedroom Apartment, a 120-square-meter solution with a fully equipped kitchen, living area, four private bathrooms and seven beds in total. The rooms differ in view, some facing the inner courtyard and others a quiet street, and in the availability of an extra sofa bed in the triple rooms, useful for larger families.
At 20 square meters, it is the largest of the available triple rooms. Featuring a private bathroom with shower, bidet and toiletries, it offers a view of a quiet street and a separate dining area, ideal for those seeking more space without giving up the flexibility of the sofa bed.
Slightly more compact than the Superior Triple Room, this room overlooks the inner courtyard and offers the same combination of double bed and sofa bed, with air conditioning and a private bathroom complete with shower and bidet.
The smallest in the range, designed for two people. Overlooking the inner courtyard, it has a single large double bed and the same private bathroom standards with shower and toiletries as the other rooms.
Compared to the standard Double Room, it offers 4 additional square meters and a view of a quiet street instead of the inner courtyard, while keeping the same large double bed and private bathroom with shower and bidet.
The only multi-room solution in the property, with 120 square meters spread across four separate bedrooms, four private bathrooms and an independent living room. The fully equipped kitchen with refrigerator, oven and microwave makes it suitable for extended stays or large groups of up to 10 people.
