Best rooms
Request a room on the third floor (top floor in a typical 3-storey Portuguese building) facing the rear, away from Rua Nova da Fonte. These rooms are furthest from street noise and have no one above.
Request a room on the 2nd or 3rd floor facing the rear courtyard. The address 'Roda do Pico' is a narrow street in Rabo de Peixe, so upper floors away from the road will minimise traffic and bar noise from the ground floor.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid rooms on the first floor and any room directly facing Rua Nova da Fonte. Street-level rooms pick up traffic and foot noise from the narrow, often busy street. First-floor rooms are also closest to the reception area and any lift machinery.
Avoid ground-floor rooms or any facing the street – Roda do Pico carries local traffic and early-morning deliveries. Ground floor also puts you near the reception and any street-level activity.
