Fodor's Expert Review Palacio Recart

Also known as the Chalet Recart, this Papudo icon and somewhat whimsical white house topped with a tall tower sits just a block from the beach in the center of town. It was built in 1910 and now holds municipal offices and hosts occasional art and history exhibitions. There's a small plaza just below with an outdoor café that's a great place to have a refreshing drink while relaxing and people-watching.
