Our stay in Donostia-San Sebastián was nothing less than exceptional. Lourdes and Fernando are wonderful hosts who are delighted to share as much information about things to see and do as your curiosity requires. Their accommodations are first rate and spotless. Our private ensuite bathroom - spacious. The bedroom view - charming. A morning coffee in June on their private terrace was a great way to launch our days.
The house is located in a hillside suburb about a 12 minute walk to the beaches of Donostia-San Sebastián. The small city itself far exceeded our expectations. It is comfortably walkable and awash in charm and a justified culinary Mecca for foodies. We experienced pinchos for the very first time in the narrow, old world streets of the city. The offerings were almost fantastical and the energy spreading through the crowds overflowing the pinchos bars was electrifying.
The community has an extensive network of cycling paths which we took advantage of on rented bikes. The beaches - the "Concha" and Zurriloa (surf beach) - are spectacular and a magnet for fun. A side trip to Bilbao and the Guggenheim, by bus (Pesa bus line), is an hour each way and will cost you approximately 12€ each way.
Bottom line: A stay with Lourdes and Fernando in Donostia- San Sebastián was a wonderful 5 star experience.
