Warm/dry weather only? No. The bar terrace in the summer is wide open but it has the option for a canopy as it gets cooler and if wet. The resturant on the other side was indoor. Also note that it doesn’t open in the day as it’s just too hot!
Rooftop review roundup: A fav for sure! 😍 The sea views were simply stunning. It is pricey but perfect for a sunset drink.
