The house is large and welcoming as was Marijo, providing fresh food and good tips about what to do.
The house is secluded but not far by car or bus to San Sebastián. We found out on the last day that the house is 3 minutes walk from the Camino de Santiago, which we took to walk into San Sebastián, about an hour and a half easy walk to the beach. The view of the sea is very relaxing and you can see it from all parts of the house not just our room. It’s a great spot to explore the region and wish we had more time to do so.
There was a 3 star Michelin restaurant close to her house, if you want that level of food, or you can cook your own in the kitchen. There are other eating spots dotted on the hillside so no need to go into San Sebastián.
Marijo is very warm and welcoming and she helped me with my Spanish, and in return I with her English. Her house felt like ours and that’s a good thing when travelling around a lot. Maybe one day I can return
