"The White House" has its own boatyard and excellent views over the Mediterranean from all rooms.

Jose Antonio Coderch built the "Ugalde House" in 1951 using simple materials available in the time of Franco’s dictatorship, but he maximised the use of design. Today, it is restored and available for selected jobs in fashion photography. Interestingly, Picasso came to design the lamp in the sitting room, one of a kind.
