I can't say enough wonderful things about the Villa Playa. It was a lovely, spacious home wonderfully arrange for a relaxing few days in San Sebastian. Aritz was a great host. He met us promptly upon arrival and gave us a very thorough tour of this Zen-like getaway. He provided a plethora of information about the area as well as a few goodies for our stay. My friend and I loved making breakfast in the kitchen every morning and sipping wine on the inviting back patio in the evenings. I imagine this spot would be great for larger groups or families as there are 4BRs and plenty of room to socialize—or escape for a quiet moment.

The location was great for us as well.We drove from Barcelona to San Sebastian and it was quite easy to get to the house and the free parking spot out front was incredibly convenient. It is only about two blocks from the local's beach (where we spent a lot of time)—and about a 20-30 min walk along the gorgeous coastline path to Old Town. We enjoyed being a bit outside the more touristy area of Old Town and nestled among locals. Really felt like we got to know this magical city and its people.
