The Standard Double Room, the most compact, already offers a private bathroom with shower and toiletries, while the Superior adds a living area for those wanting a few extra square metres without giving up the panoramic view.
Moving up in category, the Junior Suite stands out for its 33 sqm size and a different bathroom configuration compared to the classic rooms, while the Suite, the largest at 42 sqm, is the only one with a balcony, private terrace and a bathtub separate from the shower. Bathrobes, hairdryers and a welcome bottle of wine or champagne are provided in all accommodations, details that complement the refined aesthetic typical of a Design Hotel.

Seven square metres larger than the Standard, this room adds a living area separate from the sleeping area, ideal for those wanting more space to relax. A private bathroom with shower, minibar and garden view complete the offer.
At 33 sqm it is the third largest and the only one without an en-suite bathroom, unlike the other room categories. It makes up for this with garden, mountain and landmark views, plus a minibar.
The most spacious option at Villa Arnica, the only one with a balcony and private terrace overlooking the garden and mountains. The private bathroom features both a bathtub and a separate shower, an exclusive detail of this category.
