Encircled by a sea of verdant vegetation, this home is nestled among beautiful native saplings and luscious green grass. You couldn’t wish for a more utopian backdrop – and the home itself is equally idyllic. Warm, wooden beamed ceilings add a characterful touch to the place, meanwhile the spacious open–plan layout calls for plenty of sociable evenings with friends and family.

We’re particularly fond of the natural textures and neutral colour card of shades here. Everything is so tranquil and soothing – so if it's rest and relaxation you’re craving, take it from us, this place is ideal. Craving a moment of me–time? Make a beeline for the enormous U-shaped sofa and while the time away with a creamy coffee and your favourite film on the wall–hung TV.

As well as the cosy living area, this home also boasts a fully equipped kitchen, a bevy of sumptuous bedrooms and a fabulous mezzanine floor with wooden spindle balcony overlooking the lounge.

There’s a lot to love, but for us, the real jewel in the crown is the open–air dining setup. Whether it’s a hearty breakfast with fresh juices and coffees or help–yourself buffet feast, you couldn’t wish for a more serene spot to dine al fresco.

We’re sure you’ll be in absolutely no rush to leave, but if you do fancy a reconnect with civilization, a leisurely drive will take you to a whole host of wonderful sights, sounds and landmarks. For those with a passion for all things eathy, the Urkiola Natural Park is ideal, meanwhile golf lovers can head to Uraburu golf course to show off their skills.
