Inside every BoutiqueHome is an authentic and personal story. This collection lets you live in the footsteps of world traveling restaurateurs, Italian farmers, jazz age Greek urbanites, and ancient French nobles. Of course, once within the walls of these one-of-a kind properties, you’ll create your own personal narrative.

CAN LLUÏSÓ, MALLORCA, SPAIN 

To step inside this traditional finca is to be embraced by old stone and warm, authentic living. The home manages to feel at once comfortably new and modern, and soothingly familiar. It’s unpretentious and pretty, with easygoing styling and thoughtful amenities that will transport you back to a time of deliciously slower days and calm, restful nights.

APARTMENT LIMONE, SPELLO, ITALY 

The owner of this vibrant flat occupying the first floor of a century old stone structure wanted to imbue the space with a distinctive personality. The result is artsy and bright, a friendly, happy apartment that greets you with cheery yellow furnishings, lively lemon-colored accent walls, and vivid home accessories in shades of sunshine that pop against ebony floors and its stone façade.

CHÂTEAU D'UZER, ARDÈCHE, FRANCE 

History is alive and attentively well preserved within the vast, ancient halls of this unspoiled architectural gem. The sprawling castle features Lord’s quarters and dungeons from the 12th century, and a beautiful, 15th-century chapel-turned-library with vaulted ceilings. Enchanting tower-like balconies perch from the upper level, looking out over noble gardens of heritage roses and exotic plants.

CASA VIOLETA, GRANADA, NICARAGUA 

Boho chic, this eclectic indoor/outdoor paradise defines globalism in the realm of design, with furnishings made up of treasures from the owners’ travels. Inspired structurally by rambling Moroccan riads with interior courtyards, and chock full of Andalusian gypsy styling in the tiles and textiles, this uber-cool residence is absolutely deserving of its distinction as a standout villa.

SHILA ATHENS, ATHENS, GREECE 

Sepia tones drench this retro urban hideaway in the heart of busy Athens. Shila means “character” in Sanskrit, and this 1920s-era mansion-turned-inn’s common areas are sensual and intimate, full of vintage nostalgia. To grasp the home’s full grandeur, book it as your own private mansion.

CASALE DI CELLOLE, TUSCANY, ITALY 

This raw, rustic structure in the verdant Tuscan hills elevates the “farmstay” to luxurious new levels. The agricultural home and outbuildings amid the vineyards of Chianti have been converted into contemporary units. The building’s rural exterior has kept its integrity—all sturdy stone and boxy windows—while its interiors have been updated into an open plan, shared lodge.

CASA CREUETA, BARCELONA, SPAIN 

This artist’s home on a hill overlooking Barcelona is all about pleasing the eyes. Bold color, interesting lines and curves, and unique objets d’art define the recently updated space. But the home’s real masterpiece is its showcase entrance, created by the original owner, where a three dimensional, woven golden ceiling soars over walls decorated with intricate tree sculptures.
