Hourly Pattern (Typical High Season Day)
| Hour | Crowd | Light | Note |
|---|---|---|---|
| Opening–+30m | Low–Medium | Soft lateral | Best façade & patio geometry |
| +30–+120m | Rising | More vertical | Shift to interiors detail |
| Midday | High | Overhead flatten | Gardens + reflective pools |
| 14:30–16:30 | Moderating | Warm angle returns | Tile color saturation |
| Final Hour | Low | Diffused warm | Revisit key patios quietly |
Seasonal Snapshot
| Season | Pros | Cons |
|---|---|---|
| Spring | Floral scent peak | Variable rain bursts |
| Summer | Long garden evenings | Heat stress midday |
| Autumn | Stable temps, golden tone | Some maintenance intervals |
| Winter | Crisp detail light | Shorter visiting window |
Heat Strategy
Frontload intricate interior reading before noon. Allocate midday to shaded galleries & water-adjacent benches.

Bottom Line
Enter early or mid-late afternoon; calibrate interior vs garden focus to light angle and temperature comfort.
