What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
this sustainably built 20-room boutique hotel feels like an urban oasis — calm, light-filled, and neatly tucked away from the busy city streets.
Somewhere quiet
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
Quiet residential streets wind through La Florida, and the bustling dining scene in Provenza sits just downhill.
The rooms
Terracotta tiles and exposed wood beams line the bedrooms. Select rooms open onto private patios with outdoor stone soaking tubs.
The ofuro
A wooden ofuro sits on the timber deck, filled with temperature-controlled water among tropical greenery.
At the table
Ganso & Castor prepares fresh almond croissants and French bistro dishes, with tables opening into the garden courtyard.

Cared for at every turn. The bath is drawn before you ask.
Local
It could only be here. You wake up knowing where you are.

The city grew up with it. Same rituals, same regulars, same bar.
Resort
A world of its own. Something to do from breakfast to nightcap.
The scene

Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.

Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.

A place apart: the property is the destination.
