Objective: not to leave the hotel in the Basque Country
The idea is appealing, but for this type of getaway to be successful and not turn into supine boredom, the key is both in the couple and in the accommodation. And in neither case does anyone. Both companion and hotel must be unique, surprising and full of corners to explore. You will have to take care of the company. To choose the hotel we propose three ideas that, like love, are much closer than you imagine: three hotels in the Basque Country to check in and not leave.

Yes, in the mornings we recommend lounging in moderation : true lust will be waiting for you in the spectacular breakfast of Iriarte Jauregia.

** HOTEL ITURREGI – Getaria (Gipuzkoa) **
Perfect for: hedonistic couples, mature and seeking intimacy.
What will you find? A country house with a special color, located between txakoli vineyards and with views of the Bay of Biscay, eight rooms all of them different and, above all, a swimming pool built on the ruins of the original farmhouse that in itself justifies the "closure".
The palatial chic of Getaria
How will you pass the time? You will probably spend most of the day between the water and the sun loungers, with few breaks to have a gin and tonic or change magazines because you have already memorized this one.
And, if you get claustrophobic, you can always escape for a couple of hours and have a fish feast in Elkano , the Michelin star restaurant in Getaria. The pool will still be here when you come back.
