“High above the town, the property rewards the ascent with views that are, by all accounts, breathtaking. The restaurant seems a real draw, lauded for both its food and equally impressive vistas, while the pool offers yet another vantage point. I think it's a solid pick for those who prioritize scenery and are happy to trade immediate accessibility for panoramic splendor.”
