A friendly labrador retriever greets you at the gate of this funky find. Barranco is the artist hangout, so it's no surprise that the hotel's common areas are furnished in what might called "thrift store chic." Bronze sculptures are scattered about and paper lanterns hang from above. It all somehow works with the old house's vividly colored tile floors. Rooms have high ceilings and tall windows with shutters you can throw open to catch the ocean breezes. The only problem is the baths, which lack a bit of privacy.
