Villas in Basque Country

"We loved staying here! Our whole group had a wonderful time. Many listings aren't quite as nice as the pictures, but Villa Embil is even nicer than the beautiful pictures! It's spacious, plenty of bathrooms, big bedrooms, great kitchen, and the views are spectacular. We would come back anytime."

"This house in very confusing layout and the electronics for lights, curtains, gates, etc are confusing and difficult to use. The yard is not maintained. Great view of the ocean. This is in a suburban/rural area with no stores or shops near. Only 1/2 of the home was rented to us. b"

"The villa was just as described, very comfortable with a fabulous outdoor area and lovely yard. The village was charming with a great little restaurant called "Larri's", great food and reasonably priced. The area is stunning with gorgeous old villages and stunning vineyards all within an easy drive. Would certainly recommend. Miguel was great and very responsive, Thank you for a great stay!"

"Great location as a base for visiting north of Spain. Host was helpful and good at sorting out our requests. Unfortunately the pool filter didn’t work well so we didn’t use it as often as we liked to. Bedroom wasn’t very clean when we arrived. The owner promptly re-clean the rooms again the next morning. There was a small bug infestation, however this was highlighted to the owner and they will fix when we leave. Hopefully it will be ok for the next guests. If all the little problems gets fixed,...

"We loved the layout of the house and wished we had brought more people with us to fill it up. It was cool out but we still used the gorgeous pool. It is in a residential area which worked well for us but might be difficult for someone without a car. It is a big house with a lot of unfamiliar appliances, we really would have liked to have someone on property with us at check-in. We were able to figure it all out, but there was some unnecessary frustration. The property managers were very...

"The house is beautiful and very well equipped. It felt like home. The setting and views are spectacular. We felt very comfortable and Maria made sure we had everything we needed for our stay. Not only did Maria greet us with a warm welcome (and a few local delicacies), showed us through the house and how appliances worked etc., but she also provided lots of information on things to do in the area, best grocery stores, restaurant recommendations and directions to walk into town. She couldn’t have...

"It's a very attractive house, solidly built which helps it stay cool during the day. Inside, it is mostly open-plan with just the bathroom and one of the bedrooms separate. The furniture is stylish and the kitchen is quite well fitted out. The location is beautiful and ideal for hikers but it is a bit remote so you will definitely need a car. Once we had made contact via WhatsApp the owners were easy to message. The only other thing to mention is that the property is not the whole house...

"Spent three weeks here in July and August. House was perfect for our family, but could also easily house six people. Spacious kitchen/dining space/living room, good size bedrooms, two clean and nice bathrooms. Big walk-in closet in main bedroom. Linen for bed and bath provided, including large towels for beach and swimming pool. Excellent private swimming pool, very nice garden. Good WiFi! House is located at a short distance (5 minute drive, 15 minute walk) from the center and harbour of...

"We stayed here for a wedding in San Sebastián. You need a car, but it was beautiful relaxing and safe. My kids swam a lot. Everything was perfect."

"Lovely peaceful time spent at this property. We were made most welcome and couldn’t have had a more successful stay. 15 min drive to the centre of Bilbao which is one of the best places I have visited."

"Very beautiful property and location. Everything was very clean. Host was friendly and communicated very well and promptly with us."

"There is construction pretty close to the property, but it didn’t seem to get too loud. This wouldn’t be good for toddlers, as there are 5 flights of stairs. However, the elevator worked very well. We enjoyed our stay. We had an issue with hot water one morning and the management company responded immediately."

"The property is lovely and the location great for the beach. The only drawback was the busy road at the front which meant some noise when sitting outside. Not the end of the world though and more than made up by the kind and welcoming hosts and the natural beauty of the area. Highly recommended."

"We had a wonderful stay at Villa Aresti! It was the perfect base to begin our month long exploration of Spain. Lots of space for a family (or 2). Perfect location for beach access and it was nice to have outdoor space as well. One of the only non-apartment stays we saw in the whole City, which is what we were after. Shots were very helpful and very easy to contact. Would definitely recommend a stay here and hope to be back again!"

"We had 14 people, ages 7-70, stay at this house the first week of July 2023. The house owner did a great job being accommodating and helpful, there was plenty of space, the beach up the hill was incredible, and it has a delightful porch to hang relax and hang out at night. Some advice for those reading: you definitely want to rent cars if you're doing anything but beach stuff -- it's a 25 minute walk to the nearest subway/grocery store/etc. And do not sleep with the windows open -- there are no...

"4 nights. The property is beautiful, with roses and fruit trees. There is a pool and a tennis court, both of which we appreciated. The proprietor was nice and available for questions. Location is fantastic for visiting Rioja wineries. However the place is a bit outdated, pool a bit cold and small and the house could have been more clean."
