Holiday Home Rental Description
This luxury apartment rental in Donostia places you at the very edge of La Concha Bay, one of Europe’s most celebrated urban beaches. Etxea Itsasargi Ondarreta Donostia is a refined three-bedroom retreat set on the first floor of an elegant building with lift access, offering sweeping sea views across sparkling waters to the mountains beyond. With the Old Town mere footsteps away and the promenade directly outside, this is a front-row seat to the very best of San Sebastián.
Inside Etxea Itsasargi Ondarreta Donostia
Step through the door and you are immediately drawn to the light. The open-plan living and dining area stretches generously across the apartment, bathed in natural sunlight that pours through wide windows facing the bay. A plush sofa bed anchors one side of the room while a handsome dining table with seating for eight creates the perfect stage for long, leisurely meals inspired by the Basque Country’s legendary culinary scene. Air conditioning ensures comfort even on the warmest summer days, and a flatscreen satellite TV is on hand for quieter evenings indoors.
The independent kitchen is thoughtfully appointed with modern appliances and everything required to prepare anything from a simple breakfast to an elaborate pintxos spread. A smaller breakfast table for four sits within the kitchen, ideal for morning coffee while planning the day ahead. The separation between kitchen and living space gives the apartment a sense of order and sophistication rarely found in holiday rentals.
Three beautifully appointed bedrooms provide restful sanctuaries for up to six guests. The principal bedroom features a generous double bed and its own ensuite bathroom, along with direct access to the shared sea-facing balcony. The remaining bedrooms are equally comfortable, each designed with quality linens, ample storage, and a serene palette that echoes the coastal surroundings. Three full bathrooms in total mean there is never a morning queue, and a washing machine adds everyday convenience for longer stays. Complimentary high-speed WiFi keeps everyone connected throughout.
Outdoor Spaces and Living
The shared balcony is undeniably the jewel of Etxea Itsasargi Ondarreta Donostia. Facing directly out over the manicured Alderdi Eder Gardens and beyond to La Concha Bay, it offers a panorama that shifts beautifully with every hour. Watch the fishing boats drift out at dawn, follow surfers carving the afternoon swells, or sip a glass of local Txakoli wine as the sun drops behind Monte Igueldo in a blaze of amber and rose. The beachfront location means the sand is only a short stroll away, making spontaneous swims and sunset walks part of the daily rhythm.
Private parking is included with the property, a significant advantage in a city where central spaces are notoriously scarce. The building’s spa and sauna facilities provide an added layer of indulgence, allowing guests to unwind after a day exploring the coastline or hiking the surrounding hills. For those who prefer a gentler pace, the gardens below are a beautiful spot for a morning stroll beneath towering tamarind trees.
Exploring Donostia and Beyond
Living at this address in Donostia means the city’s greatest pleasures are measured in footsteps, not kilometres. The Parte Vieja, San Sebastián’s atmospheric Old Town, is less than a five-minute walk away. Here, narrow streets overflow with pintxos bars where culinary innovation meets tradition. Bar Nestor, Gandarias, and A Fuego Negro are all within easy reach, each offering its own take on Basque gastronomy. The Michelin-starred restaurants Arzak (approximately 3 km) and Mugaritz (a 25-minute drive inland) place this city among the world’s foremost food destinations.
La Concha Beach stretches in a graceful crescent directly in front of the property, while the more intimate Ondarreta Beach lies a pleasant 15-minute walk west along the promenade. For culture, the San Telmo Museum (400 metres away) chronicles Basque history and art within a converted Dominican convent. A funicular ride to the summit of Monte Igueldo (approximately 2.5 km) rewards visitors with breathtaking coastal views. When you are ready to explore further, the fishing village of Getaria and the vineyards of the Txakoli wine region sit roughly 25 km along the coast.
