The windows are not that large when compared with the size of the rooms so light levels are low at the best of times. In winter the shutters are closed all day to keep the heat in and in summer they are on the half-latch to keep the heat out!<br /><br />I'm also learning to siesta and am getting quite good at taking just an hour at the hottest part of the day.
