I thought the photos perhaps were taken from a clever angle but no, the terrace really is huge (about 400 square feet!) with a fantastic al fresco kitchen, table for six, comfy lounge chairs and that million dollar view. Just steps from the Duomo and all the restaurants and shops of the historic town center, and in the other direction just steps from the entrance to the park where well built steps allow a climb to the very top of the old fortress. Incredible! Plan to buy charcuterie and wine and have late lunches "at home", the breeze and views can't be beat! Very gracious hosts, easy check in and check out. A truly magnificent stay.
