About this space

A self-contained penthouse occupying the whole top floor, defined by an open-plan living layout and abundant natural light.

Design: The interior pairs clean modern lines and a neutral palette with timber decking and pale stone balustrade on the outdoor level. The furnishing mixes clear-glass and contemporary pieces with classical rooftop details for an informal, airy look.

Features: A pair of private rooftop terraces provide outdoor dining and seating and extend the living space outdoors. High-speed Wi‑Fi and an integrated PA/speaker system are available, and guests may play their own music or bring a DJ subject to noise restrictions. A well-equipped kitchen and multiple indoor seating areas support dining and socialising.

Ideal for: Small groups seeking a relaxed mix of seated dinners and standing drinks that make use of indoor–outdoor flow.

What guests say: The space is spacious and clean with interesting artworks and a practical kitchen. The rooftop terraces and pleasant views are frequently mentioned as standout aspects of the accommodation.
