Best rooms
Ask for a room on the first floor at the back, overlooking the small courtyard rather than the street. These rooms tend to be quieter and get morning sun without the afternoon heat.
Request a room on the top floor (third floor), facing the sea side (south-west). These rooms get the best natural light and the afternoon breeze off the Atlantic, and they're farthest from the small on-site carpark.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid any ground-floor room facing the main road (Rua da Igreja) — they get street noise from early morning traffic and delivery vans. Also skip room 101 if it exists; it's directly above the reception and often noisy.
Avoid ground-floor rooms, especially those near the carpark (north-east side). The carpark has just 8 spaces, so early arrivals park close to the entrance and you'll hear doors and voices. The adapted room is on the ground floor, so if you don't need it, take a higher floor.
