This four-story home, offering 360 degree views of the city, is highlighted by "the jar of smoke," a round, post-modern fireplace designed by Neruda himself.

Neruda created this home with his imagination. He enjoyed collecting items and finding creative ways to make them fit in. Every surface has a thoughtful touch to it. There is audio on most items. The house itself is without comparison, truly beautiful. I felt inspired just being there. I also bought the book on the house since you can’t take photos (it is called La Sebastiana by the Neruda Foundation).
