Good Times & Tan Lines

Good Times & Tan Lines: Basque Country

Surfers and sun-worshippers are likely to appreciate the proximity of this bohemian barefoot chic apartment to Zurriola beach. Tucked away in the trendy streets of Gros, the area bristles with a vibrant energy day and night.

When you're not hitting the surf or stretched out on the sand, the streets around Plaza Cataluña are packed with some of the best pintxos bars the city has to offer. Continue across the Urumea river, and you'll find yourself wandering among the salubrious culinary establishments of the casco viejo. In the opposite direction, a short lung-busting walk up Monte Ulía will reward you with some of the most scenic vistas of San Sebastián.

Back at home, stretch out on the sofa with a good book, prepare some light bites in the matte black kitchen, or treat yourself to a siesta in the stylish main bedroom before sitting down for a sundowner on your private balcony, looking over the tree-lined hills.

Home truths:
*Child-friendly amenities such as a cot and highchair are available on request. *At capacity, one guest will be sleeping on a pull-out bed in the second bedroom – it's probably best suited to a maximum of three adults, or four including children. *You'll need to pick up the keys from a location a short walk away. *Given the home's central spot, expect to hear some street noise throughout your stay. *You won't find a welcome hamper or basic essentials here, so we'd recommend packing some bits and bobs to get you started. *This home is located on the first floor with lift access, so it may be suitable for guests with more limited mobility.
