Clarify the meaning of garden view
Ask whether the room opens directly into a garden or simply faces a planted courtyard. Request photographs from inside the selected category. A lush shared pool area may appear in every listing even when some rooms overlook a wall or service lane.
Check how the outdoor space is used
Find out whether the terrace is private and whether other guests walk past the window. If you prefer to leave curtains open, ask about screening and the distance to neighbouring rooms. Confirm whether outdoor seating belongs to the room or is shared by several categories.
Include the practical route
Ask about steps, lighting and covered paths to breakfast or reception. For a longer stay, check where wet footwear and clothing can dry. Choose a room whose indoor light and seating work well even when rain keeps you away from the garden.
Quick answers
Does ground floor mean step-free?
No. Confirm thresholds and the route from the entrance to the room.
Is a private terrace guaranteed by garden view?
No. The view label and exclusive use of outdoor space are separate details.
