Modern textural elements come into play in this fresh-feeling apartment. Situated in the artistic neighbourhood, Egia, this home is within ten minutes of the Tabakalera cultural centre and the artworks adorning the neoclassical chapels of Polloe Cementerio. This elegant home provides an idyllic base for a solo traveller, a couple, or close friends seeking a modern retreat right in the cultural hub of San Sebastián. With a contemporary and textured aesthetic - the herringbone wood floors, striped and patterned rugs, and mosaiced lighting fixtures - it is at once effortlessly cool and cosy. Enjoy your morning coffee on the balcony overlooking the Plaza Teresa de Calcuta or whip up some quick bites in the open kitchen before heading out to La Concha for a seafront picnic. There’s a tranquil atmosphere here which invites you to wind down on the plush sofas after a memorable evening at the microtheatre-cum-art gallery-cum-culinary bar, La Farándula Microteatro – a six-minute walk from your apartment. For a spot of sightseeing, make the twenty-minute walk through the old town up to Paseo Nuevo, where you can admire Jorge Oteiza’s Construcción Vacía bronze sculpture. Adopt the Basque lifestyle on pintxo-pote Thursdays by sampling the city’s savoury snacks.
