Local knowledge

Book a room with garden view or overlooking the courtyard for maximum peace and to enjoy the lush vegetation and restaurant ambiance from your window
Reserve the restaurant garden terrace in advance for warm weather; it's a hidden oasis but fills quickly and has a 2-hour table limit for non-residents
Request a room upgrade at check-in; staff frequently offer complimentary upgrades to suites with balconies and views, especially for special occasions
