great terrace with amazing views, and the size and access to make it very useful, the only limiting factor might well be the elevation, as you will have no protection from wind.

Expert Opinion:
this home has not one, but two loggias. these are practical as they give excellent rain cover, but they might not be able to everyone's liking the one right off. the living room is a bit on the small side and is really only therefore private use. the one on the upper floor has more practicality with the kitchen. the views are decent, but not extraordinary.
