Best San Sebastian holiday apartments

San Sebastián, the capital of the Spanish province Gipuzkoa, is officially called Donostia/San Sebastián. It is only about 20 kilometres from the French border and lies on the famous Bay of Biscay, the declared holiday destination of visitors from all over the world. Great beaches, a varied landscape and many interesting large and small towns promise a relaxing holiday. Therefore, in the high season rooms and apartments in San Sebastián are understandably quickly booked up. In order to present you with as wide a choice as possible, we also have accommodation in different parts of the city as well as in the immediate vicinity and offer, for example, private holiday apartments in Loyola and apartments in Zubieta. If you prefer to live on the French side, you will find private Accommodations in St.-Jean-de-Luz or Hendaye. Couchsurfing in San Sebastián is not part of our program because we believe that holidays are only really relaxing if you can use your accommodation for yourself and don’t have to share it with hosts or other guests.

Around the private apartment in San Sebastián

From your private apartment in San Sebastián you can start off on wonderful excursions to the spectacular beaches and bizarre cliffs. If you drive inland, you will have a fantastic view of the bay of La Concha and San Sebastián. You might even recognize one of the many buildings you have already seen at close range. You should definitely look at the pilgrimage church La Antigua, which is located in Zumarraga or, in Azpeitia, the Loiola Basilica. In contrast, the shrine of Arantzazu, which was reconstructed after many fires and reopened in 1955, seems somewhat more avant-garde. Reserve enough time for a trip to the biggest city of the Basque Country, or book an Apartment in Bilbao, if you prefer to spend several days there.
