The photos don't do the terrace justice. The smaller room had a view looking straight at the hillside and moorish castle. The terrace was beautiful with amazing views of the castle, city, and ocean. This is located in the historic residential district, so a bit quieter (which is what I was looking for) - there's a great shortcut from Isabel's place to the historical center - just 10-15 minute walk ... o and the shortcut also works perfectly for the moorish castle and palacio da pena. Isabel is a great host and I would recommend this place.
