Absolutely surrounded by cafes, bars, and restaurants, this stylish home in San Sebastián is a foodies idea of heaven. But you don’t need to be clued up on the difference between kale and cavolo nero to appreciate all that’s on offer here. The inside, for one, is a beautiful blend of crisp white and intricate patterns – a credit to the host, as it takes a trained eye to mix as many motifs without a clash. The sleek black kitchen sits in sharp contrast to the rest of the home and is pretty spacious, so if you do want to try and replicate some of the recipes you've come across, then we’re sure your family and friends would love to sample it around the dining table. From the lounge, you can keep an eye on the beachfront, but why not move a little closer with a glass of rioja and sit out on the balcony overlooking the Cantabrian Sea. Watching the sunset from here would undoubtedly be beautiful, but we recommend walking six minutes to the Sagües park known for sunset walks. Spend one whole day exploring Old Town – it is a thirty-minute walk to get there, but there are a couple of historical landmarks, as well as an observation deck that looks out over the ocean, that’s well worth the trip. When you’re not kicking back with cocktails at one of the bars, or sunbathing on the beach, you can wander the streets of San Sebastián, hoarding as many treats as possible. Take it all back home, kick back, and indulge as you let go of every last bit of stress.

About San Sebastián

With the most Michelin stars per square meter in Europe, the coastal city of San Sebastián is a foodie paradise. It’s not just fine dining that draws the crowds into the restaurants; fresh oysters washed down with sparkling txakoli, and the pintxos bars offer a distinctly Basque take on tapas.
