Residences are types of accommodation specially designed to accommodate tourists and travellers for short to medium-term stays.
They generally offer services and facilities that distinguish them from traditional hotels.
Tourist residences offer fully-equipped flats or studios, often with a kitchenette, living room and sometimes one or more bedrooms.
They offer similar services to hotels, such as reception, cleaning and linen, and sometimes additional services such as a swimming pool, spa or leisure activities.
