La Dolce Vitae

Vibe: Quiet – was Easter and lunchtime though.
Prosecco price: 🍾🍾 (tho it’s Spain so it’s Cava)
Food available? Yes and 😋 though was a limited menu
Booking available? We didn’t and didn’t appear so.

Warm/dry weather only? No! This was the genius of the place. There was an area where you could eat that could be made enclosed – did limit the number of people as the rest of the roof is open.
Rooftop review roundup: As it was Easter weekend the weather wasn’t super rooftop warm and was very windy this day but this place was the perfect haven form shelter whilst still enjoying a great view. Service was great. Jazz playing. Total mix of people. Very relaxed – perfect for drinks.

Rooftop review roundup: We were staying here so breakfast with such a view was a treat. More for hotel guests than a destination in its own right but if you are in that neighbourhood then perfect for a pit stop.
