Expert Opinion:
two terraces, and both are attractive and big enough to be useful.
the rear terrace, which is more private on account of its access is the best.

fantastic views, but the architecture of this terrace do not lend themselves to be "intimate" but some well planned landscaping can soften the places significantly

Expert Opinion:
narrow but pleasant terrace, the relatively narrow frame of the door along with its oversized opening, make this terrace feel more integrated than it is, and that is a good thing.
