You’ll find this slick and sophisticated home where San Sebastian meets the sea. The blonde wood and sea views of this apartment means it's a exceptionally calming place to stay. Enjoy coffee on the balcony in the morning before heading to Zurriola beach, just metres away, meaning all you have to do is pack up your towels and pick a spot to stretch out on the sand. A short walk will take you into San Sebastian’s old town, where you can hop between the pintxo bars and sample the local fare - the city is famous for its food, so make sure you’re hungry. After all that, it’s time to snuggle up in one of the stylish bedrooms - within minutes you’ll fall asleep to the sound of the ocean. 

City to Sea

Nestled in the heart of San Sebastian's Old Town, this apartment is the ideal retreat for large families or groups of friends. Located at the foot of Mount Urgull, this is one of the oldest areas of the city. Start your morning by whipping up a delicious breakfast in the fully equipped kitchen or if you don't feel like cooking, pop down the pedestrianised streets to one of the many nearby cafes. For those who like to surf, sunbathe or swim in the sea, the glorious sandy beach is just a stone's throw away. Wander through the picturesque parks and gardens before returning to the apartment, where you can rest and recharge among the comfortable furnishings.

Zortzi

Set over two floors with a generous terrace giving way to sea views, this San Sebastián apartment is ideal for a family or group of friends on a Spanish retreat. We love how much space there is here, and the light, modern style makes it a tranquil place to rest. But, the cherry on the cake for us is the location. Nestled on a quiet street in the Old Town, Zurriola beach is a short walk away and it’s a stone’s throw from the city centre, giving easy access to a whole host of nearby amenities. 

Spanish Muse

Situated just a stone's throw from Plaza de Gipuzkoa, most of the city's main attractions are five minutes away on foot. For a day on the area's golden sands, head to Zurriola and La Concha beaches – watch the surfers here or have a dip in the Cantabrian Sea. As you'd expect, there are plenty of tempting bars and restaurants nearby to sample too.

If you don't feel like eating out, then cook a local speciality, salt cod, in the kitchen and enjoy it at the shiny glass dining table. We love the dark wood floors and muted colour scheme here, which creates a calming influence. This place would suit business professionals, a family or couples looking for a fabulous location in this charming city.


The Little White Cloud 

As far as locations go, this San Sebastián apartment absolutely nails it. La Concha Beach is a five-minute stroll away, Old Town is within easy walking distance, and numerous bars, shops and restaurants line the surrounding streets. Chances are, you'll spend most of your time here exploring, but during downtime, the contemporary living space has relaxation written all over it. The finish is sleek and modern, with each bedroom having its own bathroom for added convenience. Factor in the option to arrange paid parking nearby – though a car is anything but necessary here – and it really ticks all the boxes.

Basque Sunbeams

You couldn’t get closer to San Sebastián’s crescent-shaped Playa de la Concha - it’s situated on an idyllic street just two minutes from the beach. Step out onto your Juliette balcony for luscious sea views or walk a few steps and you’ll be paddling the clear waters of the bay. 
 
As you walk into the open-plan space, you’ll immediately be struck by the dazzling amount of natural light pouring in through the french doors. Curated with a modern eye for design, the living area sets a striking impression with its sleek marbled kitchen and contemporary furnishings. Both bedrooms are comfortable and stylish – waking up to balcony views is a dreamy way to start the day. Gather around the mid-century-style breakfast table for a quick coffee before heading out to explore the city’s highlights.

Walk along the curving coastline, jutting off to explore the atmospheric cobblestone streets lined with Basque pintxos bars. We recommend a complete culinary tour – sample as many authentic savoury bites as you can – TX Klub for their wild mushroom rice studded with yuca, Xarma Cook & Culture for their version of salted cod stacked on a skewer, and Rita for creamy oysters and ox chorizo. The best part? This tour is a perfect loop around your neighbourhood and its total walking time is only one hour.

Perfectly satiated and with a cold cerveza in hand, make yourself comfortable on the plump sofa under the glow of the globe floor lamp - this is the best way to relax after a day of sightseeing. When you’re ready to wind down, sink into the sheets of the serene-hued bedroom for a restful night’s sleep – it’ll leave you feeling refreshed and ready for another day of city exploring. 

By the Bahía

Plaza Easo welcomes you in style with an apartment ideal for a family, group, or three couples looking to immerse beautifully into the San Sebastián lifestyle. With high ceilings and French windows, this abode has the perfect combination of space and location. Gaze at the sweeping rooftop views and the bustling Plaza below - you'll be right at the heart of this vibrant city. A mere few blocks to golden La Concha Beach, you'll look like a local about town in your sandals. On days you want to do something other than relaxing on the beach, take the 15-minute walk down cobbled streets to the Old Town. With beautiful craft shops, galleries, and independent ice cream parlours by day, and by night, the town’s pintxo bars and restaurants come alive. For an evening in, watch the lights sparkle over the town and music fill the streets - all from a candlelit dinner between the lofty French windows of the home.

Bay Of Biscay

Ideally located in San Sebastián’s Old Town, this slick apartment places you within easy reach of countless cultural landmarks, not to mention sandy Zurriola Beach. Inside, the decor is modern and minimalist, with a sunny covered balcony – ideal for morning coffees while people-watching from above. The bedrooms’ Juliet balconies are a nice touch, as is the green tiled bathroom with its oversized rain shower. And while the dining area isn’t the brightest room here, you need only step out your front door to discover a plethora of restaurants and bars that are sure to give you a true taste of Basque culture. 


Basque in Light

Located in the heart of Old Town in San Sebastian, this beautiful apartment is in the perfect position for the finest pintxo bars, pubs and restaurants. The stone dining room is the highlight of this apartment, with the soft colour of the furniture and the exposed wood bringing warmth to the space. Whip up a delicious meal in the sleek modern kitchen and dinner is sure to pleasantly go on for hours. The bedrooms are elegant and roomy, and are a great place to unwind at the end of a long day exploring – though light sleepers might want to bring earplugs, as there's a nightclub downstairs that plays music until the early hours. If you fancy venturing out, head for a nightcap at the renowned Dry San Sebastian cocktail bar, just ten minutes away.

Vista Castillo

Bright and elegantly designed, this fresh-feeling apartment is located in a Belle Epoch-style building, in the vibrant Gros neighbourhood. You’re moments away from the surfer’s paradise, Zurriola beach, and a three-minute walk from the Rafael Moneo-designed Kursaal Complex – whether you’re here for the annual International Film Festival or not, it’s definitely worth admiring the architecture. This elegant home provides an idyllic base for a solo traveller, a couple, or close friends seeking a modern retreat right in the heart of San Sebastián.

With a contemporary aesthetic - the marbled kitchen, sleek wood furnishings and thoughtful choices of soft lighting - it is at once effortlessly cool and comfortable. Enjoy your morning coffee at the mid-century dining table or sink into the plush sofa with your new book, opening up the beautiful glass doors to invite the coastal breeze in. There’s a calm atmosphere here, despite its central location.

If you’re in the mood for a sun-soaking session, take your pick of Zurriola beach, nestled between the Kursaal and Monte Ulía, or the crescent-shaped, La Concha –  both are within a ten-minute walk. For a spot of sightseeing, make the twenty-minute walk up the Paseo Nuevo promenade where you can marvel at Jorge Oteiza’s Construcción Vacía bronze sculpture. Absorb the Basque mentality on pintxo-pote Thursdays by sampling the city’s savoury snacks.

Moneo Muse

If you're heading over to San Sebastian anytime soon, you're not going to find many apartments with a better location than this – from the front door, you can be wandering around the Old Town in less than sixty seconds, while both La Concha and Zurriola beaches are ten minutes' walk away, too.

The home itself overlooks Zualoga Plaza, but is a peaceful refuge from the buzzy activity below. All throughout, the colour palette is heavy on soothing whites and there's a pleasing contemporary sheen to the design, which borrows from Scandi trends. It must be said that the narrow kitchen has been designed with efficiency in mind, but you'll find everything you need to whip up hearty dinners for fellow guests.

Finishing off, the pair of bedrooms aren't as generously sized as the open living room space, but there will no be complaints when it comes to cosiness, especially after returning home from a long day of exploring the Basque town's museums, restaurants and the peak of Mount Urgull.

Prince of the Plaza

Located just a moment’s walk from La Concha beach, and with stunning views over the iconic bay, this bright and stylish apartment is the perfect base from which to immerse yourself in all the wonders of San Sebastian and the surrounding area.

The interior is modern yet cosy, with plenty of comfy spaces to lounge about and enjoy the views – the corner window nook will make you feel as though you’re inside an enchanted lighthouse, looking out to sea.  We love the simple yet chic design, with splashes of vibrant green and creamy, ice grey. The wooden floors give the whole place a homely, warm feeling, and you’ll feel the apartment’s welcoming embrace regardless of the season. The open-plan kitchen, along with the dining and living areas, is perfect for enjoying family meals and relaxing evenings, especially with the benefit of the smart TV. Add to it the luxuriously comfortable bedrooms, and we are sure that you will have a restful, carefree stay. 

Although you may never want to leave the comforts of this apartment, we think that the treasures which await you will be well-worth stepping outside. With glorious beaches and the San Sebastian Bay at your doorstep, and with the historical city centre a ten-minute drive away, you’ll be in an ideal spot to make the most of your stay.
