Hotel Iturregi

At only eight rooms, it may come as little surprise that this charming boutique hotel in Getaria is blessed with peace and quiet. Nonetheless, tranquility reigns unfalteringly here; set in the midst of thriving vineyards, with the coast off in the distance, Hotel Iturregi ticks all the boxes for restorative break.

The Basque farmhouse has been revamped with modern interiors, but flickers of its former life remain in the forms of beamed ceilings, fireplaces and the odd antique. The large windows are a genius idea too - ensuring that spectacular view over the hills and sea beyond is never too far away. 

Fuel your day with breakfast at the hotel, which is included in most room rates (see rate detail below). While there is no restaurant at the hotel, there is a lovely honesty bar where you can make your favourite drinks.

Each of the eight rooms at Hotel Iturregi has been individually decorated to make use of all the buildings nooks and crannies. From cool-hued rooms with beamed ceilings and canopied four-posters, to warmer-toned picks with rich curtains and crackling fireplaces, no two are the same but all are equally inviting. Bathrooms take much the same approach, with anything from exposed brick walls and antique mirrors, to sleek tiles and artwork in the shower (yes, really!).

After basking in the sun, cool off in the hotel’s outdoor pool (open seasonally). Prefer to dip in the sea? With glorious stretches of beach just a short drive away, the hotel is well-placed for beach-goers. Alternatively, rent a bike from the hotel and whiz to the coast on wheels. 

Free Wi-fi is available.
