The hotel offers an open-air patio for the pleasure of its guests. The private patios' oriental inspiration creates a serene atmosphere in which to relax during the stay. The soothing sound of running water, the intense brightness of the white and the tranquil green of the grass and bamboos are interrupted only by the sofas that beckon for someone to sink into them.
