A worn leather sofa, stacks of books and art-adorned walls are the signs of a home that holds many memories, with the chance to make your own at this eclectic bolthole a few blocks from Zurriola Beach. This bohemian dream is more like a treasure trove of vintage finds than a holiday home, and the curious collection of antiques and artworks make you wonder from what corners of the globe the owner has travelled to gather such unique knick-knacks. The standout feature is the shimmering mirrored wall that frames the intimate dining area. The wealth of character inside is further augmented by the terrace, with deckchairs gazing out across the rooftops to the mountains beyond. It’s the perfect nest for a couple, with enough room on the terrace to invite a few friends over for dinner.
