Make a holiday rental home or villa in Basque Country, Spain your home away from home

The Basque Country is home to the Basque people, whose language, culture and traditions set the region aside from other areas in Spain while still maintaining the same laid-back way of life. The beaches of San Sebastian give way to cosmopolitan cityscapes in Bilbao, then rolling green countryside around Alava and Vitoria. Whichever you prefer, the area is dotted with Basque Country villas with pools where you can relax and soak in the chilled out surroundings.

Ideal for parents with teenagers. Buses 5 and 25 leave for town every few minutes or it's a lovely 20-25 minute walk across Ondaretta and La Concha beaches to the centre of Donostia-San Sebastian. We were worried on our first day when it seemed that all the local shops were closed and shuttered but we worked out that this happens on local saints' days - Santiago and Ignatius of Loyola, in our case - not just "national" holidays. Highly recommend the local gelateria on Matia Kalea after sunset picnic on the beach. Perfect stay, thank you.
