The laid-back, highly original, skillfully put together 14-room Alcoba feels like something architect Frank Lloyd Wright might have conceived. Rooms styled with vintage pieces, rain showers and feature walls rise around a statement courtyard complete with loungers, hammock and lap pool. It's wonderfully homey, functional and central (just off Calle Ancha). Breakfast (€7) is a good buffet.
