The property is somewhat secluded being on Namsan mountain and nothing else around. Does have a giant outdoor pool though.
I couldn’t agree more! I never got the concept of these self proclaimed “pool villas”. They are basically an awkward shaped bathtub in the middle of a room. Didn’t think of the humidity either! The views look quite nice from pics though. Especially in the fall with the foliage. Have you heard of art paradiso in incheon? It looks a bit intriguing (for Korea)
