Privacy in a Separate Location
The Luxury Outside room offers a unique accommodation option: elegant, private quarters located approximately 50 meters from Hotel Santa Lucia’s main building. This separate location provides exceptional privacy and quiet, appealing to guests who value independence and don’t mind a short walk to access the hotel’s main facilities.
Critical Information – Read Before Booking:
- Located approximately 50 meters from the main hotel building
- Requires climbing about 20 stairs to access
- NOT suitable for people with mobility difficulties
- NOT suitable for guests with heavy luggage concerns
- NOT suitable for elderly guests uncomfortable with stairs
- Provides exceptional privacy but requires walking to breakfast, reception, other hotel facilities
Understanding Luxury Outside
This isn’t a room within the main hotel. It’s separate accommodation that’s part of Hotel Santa Lucia’s property but requires a short outdoor walk and stair climbing to reach. Think of it as a private annex rather than a standard hotel room.
What This Means Practically:
Morning: You’ll walk from your room to the main building for breakfast Check-In: Staff will escort you to show the location and room Reception Needs: Any requests require walking to main building Facilities: Solarium, bar, restaurant all in main building Luggage: Consider carefully if you have heavy bags Weather: Rain or heat means outdoor walk between room and facilities Night: Returning to room after dinner involves the walk and stairs
Who Luxury Outside Suits
Privacy Seekers: Couples or individuals who highly value being separate from the main hotel activity
Light Sleepers: Maximum quiet, no hallway noise, very peaceful
Physically Fit Guests: Comfortable with stairs and repeated walking
Independent Travelers: Those who don’t mind the extra effort for the privacy benefit
Light Packers: Carrying luggage up stairs is manageable with minimal bags
Romantic Couples: The privacy and separation can feel intimate and special
Who Should NOT Book Luxury Outside
Anyone with Mobility Issues: The stairs make this inappropriate for physical limitations of any kind
Elderly Guests: Unless very fit and comfortable with stairs multiple times daily
Families with Small Children: Carrying children, strollers, supplies up stairs repeatedly is impractical
Heavy Luggage Travelers: Wrestling large suitcases up stairs and across distance is difficult
Guests Wanting Convenience: If easy access to facilities matters, choose rooms in main building
Hot Weather Sensitive: The outdoor walk in summer heat may be uncomfortable
Rain-Averse: Walking outdoors in rain to reach breakfast or facilities
The Privacy Advantage
For the right guest, Luxury Outside’s separate location is a genuine advantage, not a compromise. The exceptional quiet and privacy can’t be replicated in rooms within the main building. You’re staying at Hotel Santa Lucia, enjoying all its services and quality, but with a private retreat feeling.
Couples seeking romantic privacy, light sleepers needing absolute quiet, or independent travelers who value seclusion over convenience often love this room despite (or because of) its separate location.
Room Amenities
While separate from the main building, the Luxury Outside room maintains Hotel Santa Lucia’s quality standards and includes all expected amenities:
Comfort & Technology:
- Air conditioning and heating
- Flat-screen TV with satellite channels
- Complimentary WiFi
- Minibar
- In-room safe
- Quality furnishings
- Premium bedding
Bathroom:
- Private bathroom with shower
- Hair dryer
- Quality toiletries
- Fresh towels
Note: Check which enhanced amenities (kettle, bathrobes, etc.) are included in this room, as specifications may vary from main building categories.
Practical Considerations
First Day: Plan to arrive when you have energy for the walk and stairs, not exhausted from long travel
Packing: Bring only what you need, leave excess in car or arrange luggage assistance
Shoes: Comfortable walking shoes matter for the repeated trips
Umbrella: Keep one at the room for unexpected rain
Planning: Factor the walk time into your schedule
Room Service: Check what services are available given the separate location
Emergencies: Understand how to contact reception from the separate building
Making It Work
Guests who book Luxury Outside successfully usually approach it as part of the experience rather than an inconvenience. They appreciate the unique character, embrace the privacy, and see the walk as trivial compared to the benefits.
If you’re fit, traveling light, and value quiet privacy, the location becomes a feature. If you need convenience and easy access, it becomes a problem.
Booking Luxury Outside
This unique room booking requires honest self-assessment. Don’t book it hoping the stairs and distance won’t matter. They will. Either those factors are acceptable trade-offs for privacy and quiet, or you should choose a room in the main building.
When booking, we’ll confirm you understand:
- The approximate 50-meter distance from main building
- The 20 stairs required to access the room
- That this is not suitable for mobility issues
- The need to walk to breakfast, reception, and all facilities
We want you to love your stay, which requires booking the right room for your actual needs and capabilities.

Honest Assessment Required
Luxury Outside offers genuine advantages for the right guest and significant disadvantages for the wrong guest. There’s no universal answer to whether it’s “good” or “bad,” only whether it matches your specific circumstances and preferences.
If you’re considering it, be honest about:
- Your physical fitness and comfort with stairs
- Your luggage situation
- How much the privacy matters to you
- Whether the walking will genuinely not bother you or if you’re hoping it won’t
