Inside Etxea Haizea Urgull Donostia

Spread across multiple levels, the interior of this luxury townhouse rental in Donostia has been designed with an emphasis on space, light, and refined materials. The lower ground floor welcomes you with a private garage and parking area, a comfortable secondary living space ideal for evening relaxation or children’s play, and a guest bathroom finished in warm natural stone. Ascending to the ground floor, the heart of the home reveals itself: a fully equipped kitchen featuring sleek modern appliances, stone countertops, and an integrated dining area where morning meals become lingering affairs accompanied by freshly brewed coffee and pintxos from the nearby bakery. The main living room is both generous and elegant, furnished with plush sofas, ambient lighting, and a Smart TV for quieter evenings spent indoors.

Outdoor Spaces and Living

The main terrace at Etxea Haizea Urgull Donostia is a wonderful extension of the indoor living areas, furnished with a generous dining table, cushioned seating, and planters brimming with seasonal greenery. Sheltered yet open to the sky, it is the ideal spot for al fresco breakfasts, leisurely lunches, or evening glasses of txakoli as the sun dips behind Monte Igueldo. The surrounding streets are largely pedestrianised, lending a tranquil, village-like atmosphere that feels worlds away from the busier parts of the city. Ondarreta Beach is just a short stroll away, where calm, shallow waters and soft sand create a safe and relaxed environment for swimming and sunbathing. The famous Peine del Viento sculptures by Eduardo Chillida sit at the western end of the bay, providing a dramatic backdrop for sunset walks.

Exploring Donostia and Beyond

San Sebastian’s legendary Old Town, known locally as Parte Vieja, lies approximately 15 minutes on foot along the sweeping Paseo de la Concha promenade.

The city holds more Michelin stars per capita than almost anywhere else on earth, with restaurants such as Arzak (roughly a 10-minute drive) and Mugaritz (20 minutes inland) attracting food lovers from around the globe. For culture, the San Telmo Museum (1.5 km) offers a fascinating journey through Basque history and art, while the Kursaal Congress Centre hosts concerts and exhibitions throughout the year.
