“The pool on the roof is definitely the best thing.
We did not try the breakfast but there is a healthy bar with coffee, smoothie and pokebowl at the entrance. Perfect if you want something on the go.
Location is also good, you are just outside...”

The fine print
Need-to-know information for guests at this property
The credit card used for the booking should be shown upon check-in.
- Access to swimming pool is limited to 2 hours/day maximum and reservation for sunbed have to be made in advance to the reception.
- Once the swimming pool area have reached maximum capacity in order to allow safe social distance, we cannot guarantee the possibility to reserve a place a such day and time.
Usually, the pool is open in the summer months until mid-afternoon, but availability depends on weather conditions, which unfortunately we cannot predict! If the use of the pool is essential for your stay with us, we recommend that you contact our Reception before booking your room.
During peak periods, reservations are required to use the pool. Reservations are divided into fixed time slots and include a maximum 15-minute delay. If you arrive more than 15 minutes after the reservation time or do not show up, it will be considered a "no-show" and your seat may be allocated to people physically waiting at the Rooftop.
Outdoor swimming pool is closed from Wed 1 Oct 2025 until Thu 30 Apr 2026
