Cristina,
you could also interprete it like this:
"there you have a terrace - I suppose at an upper / the highest level - on that very same terrace is a day bed which like the terrace - on which it stands - is on the highest level".
You should be able to phrase it like this:
on the terrace at the highest point one finds a day bed, perfectly situated to enjoy the sunset, ....
or turn in around:
at the highest point on the terrace one finds a day bed which lends itself perfectly to enjoy the sunset, ...
