Villa Il Respiro offers three types of accommodation, all with private bathroom, toiletries, hairdryer and parquet flooring, designed for different needs. The Suite, the largest with 45 m² spread over two bedrooms and four beds, is suited for families or small groups travelling together. The King Room, more intimate at 19 m², and the Double Room with Single Beds, at 20 m² and equipped with a balcony, are instead designed for couples or those travelling as a pair.
An element shared by most of the rooms is the view, often facing the sea or the property’s garden, a detail that makes the stay particularly pleasant during the warmer seasons. It should be noted that in the King Room the private bathroom is on the ground floor, while the room itself is on the first floor, in a building without an elevator: an aspect to consider for those with difficulty on stairs. The Double Room, on the other hand, stands out for its balcony with sea view, ideal for those who wish to look directly out over the Ligurian horizon.
The Suite is the largest accommodation in the property, with 45 m² spread over two separate bedrooms and a private entrance.
