Welcome to Basque country. Just 13 miles from Spain, the laidback, coastal town of Biarritz, France, has a star attraction: Villa Belza (“belza” means black in the local Basque dialect).The towering medieval-style home was built in the late 19th century, and has survived a series of fires, storms and other mishaps, only to sit serenely at the pounding Atlantic’s edge for your viewing pleasure.
