Stay at the terrace


Explanation:
"Terraceo" sounds quite strange in Spanish, not to mention the deficiency of the whole paragraph. I would paraphrase it.. the idea is to invite guests to stay / spend some time at the terrace...
You can use something different from the imperative... such as "You can..."

Just a suggestion. Hope it helps!
