The Vibe
La Terraza de Valeria delivers upscale relaxation without the pretence. Chic loungers, soft Mediterranean beats, and attentive staff create an atmosphere that's polished but never stuffy. The terrace feels spacious and airy, with enough room to spread out and claim your corner of the view.
During the day, it's a sun-soaked escape perfect for long lunches and afternoon drinks. As evening approaches, the mood shifts to something more intimate, with the harbour lights twinkling in the distance and the cathedral dome glowing against the sunset.
