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, which invites you to wind down on the balcony with a glass of local Txakoli that you picked up from Essencia Wine, just six minutes away. 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.
