12:00 · Noon · 22 rooms
Twenty-two rooms.
Each one has its own noon.
We plan every room around the hour its shade is best. Ask for yours by the clock, not by the view.

Lido 04
Shade 11:40–14:10 · 34 m² · Door onto the water
The parasol outside your door is yours from eight.
Ground floor, three steps to the lido.

Terrace 11
Shade 12:30–15:00 · 41 m² · Lunch in your own circle
A terrace above the deck with a table that
stays in shadow from soup to granita.

Tower 17
Shade all day · 29 m² · A skylight that draws noon
Round room, round window. At twelve the sun
lands on the floor like the hand of a clock.

Cove 22
Shade until 16:00 · 38 m² · Six steps to private water
Cut into the point below the lido.
The coolest room we have, by four degrees.
15:00 · The islet · Six hundred metres by rowing boat
Row round
the islet
Mira keeps the boat at the foot of the lido stairs. Draw a circle round the islet to row it once, and it will show you where the afternoon goes.
