Palacio de Etxauri, para amantes del arte

The rural Palace of Etxauri, called Enarazai, is a beautiful property whose stone walls date back to medieval times in contrast to its interior walls, completely restored, from which numerous works of contemporary art hang. If the walls were to speak, Enarazai would tell us a host of stories, some of which happened here, and others contained in the thousands of books that the house houses, of art and literature, arranged in three large independent libraries. The house has three floors, the ground floor is oriented to a large patio, with covered porch and small garden that can be enjoyed most of the year, from early spring to late fall. In the garden there is a beautiful well with stone curbstone, closed with the artisan forge of the workshop of the town, under whose walls runs a natural spring; also highlights the large oak gate that once opened allows you to see a fantastic panoramic view over the valley of Etxauri, with the Otazu vineyards as protagonists. In addition to benches and wooden loungers to spend a leisure time, this space offers a table, chairs and portable barbecue for 12 people. Next to the porch there is a fourth office with a large sink and kitchenware for meals outside. On the same floor there is a rustic-inspired two-bed room, with stone floor and double oak leaf door that opens onto the garden, its bathroom has a lovely claw-foot tub, the rest of the bathroom furniture, sink, bidet and toilet, are also old design. Right in front of this room, on the other side of the garden, we find an art workshop, with the possibility of guests making use of it; This workshop has a large Goya monographic library, with volumes in different languages, many of them in German. The first floor is the main floor of the house, there are two double bedrooms, kitchen, dining room, living room and the large art library. Stresses the solidity of the oak beams of its roof, and the attractive visually open path of its entire structure; the floors are equally warm thanks to its oak flooring. Two large windows open on this floor to the valley, one in the large room with double bed and one on the opposite side, in the final part of the library that corresponds to the office. The space is open, begins in the dining room with a table of three meters of old oak, and continues to the living room, framing both spaces a panoramic window that opens the view to the Etxauri Valley, with the river Arga and the orchards of the town in the foreground, and the vineyards of Otazu, wineries, Señorío de Otazu and Señorío de Eriete in the background. The final part of the room is what confers the greatest attraction and uniqueness of this house, which is the large library that opens onto the workshop in a double-story space, with encyclopedias and monographs from different periods and authors of the history of art; a very complete library, full of high quality plates to be able to immerse yourself in the most beautiful works created throughout the history of mankind. The books are classified and photographed for their order and control, and available for consultation and respectful enjoyment of the guests. On this main floor are most of the contemporary art paintings and other works of tribal art, the latter collected as a souvenir of travels in Africa and South America. And finally, we find the last floor, which corresponds to the highest floor of the medieval tower. It is a third library with an ambulatory or double floor converted into a bedroom; It is designed for four people, with two single beds and a romantic double canopy bed. The name of this room full of literature is optional: "the tower room" which is the easy name
