Below you the city begins its dance. The sounds and scents of merchants setting up and day-to-day activity greets you. Merchants arrive, vans unload, café tables are set, and the square slowly comes to life. The midday or afternoon escape: After a few hours of walking, shopping, or enjoying the cafes and restaurants downtown has to offer, retreat to your private rooftop garden, your hidden oasis above the city, for a nice chat with your friends, a quiet read, a glass of wine. This is a place to pause, recharge, and enjoy the rare luxury of space and privacy—right above the city’s most energetic square.

Exposed brick, original masonry, and curated artwork surround you. If you choose to dine out, you have your choice of cuisine all within walking distance. Later, retreat to the lounge to unwind, settle into the sun-drenched living room as the setting sun paints the ancient stone buildings outside in deep gold tones. The colour, movement, and energy of the square below continue their rhythm as you relax above it all.
