A small hotel above the water at dusk
Eleven rooms · on the coast

SLEEP CLOSE
TO THE WATER

A small house on the rocks: eleven rooms, one long table for breakfast, and the sea loud enough to leave the window open.

The house

BUILT FOR
SLOW MORNINGS

Casa Mirena was a fisherman's house before it had guests. We kept the thick walls and the awkward staircase, added heating that works in February, and left everything else alone.

Breakfast is at one table between eight and eleven, cooked by whoever is on that morning. There is no reception desk: you are met at the door, and the key is a key.

WHAT THERE IS
