Fodor's Expert Review Basalore
Jaitzubia Auzoa 200, Hondarribia, Basque Country, Spain
San Sebastián's buzzy new Hotel Arbaso likes to call this luxurious hilltop villa with five rooms its finest "suite," but that's selling this sister property short; after all, most suites don't span 67 acres teeming with goats, sheep, and pampered Basque "Wagyu" cows (a passion project of the owner). Situated 20 minutes from both Hondarribia and San Sebastián, Basalore—with its on-call chef and chauffeur and ample room for events—is one of the most exclusive rentable homes in Spain. For a family looking for the ultimate splurge or for a deep-pocketed company planning a small retreat, this well-appointed getaway is hard to beat.
PROS
- endless room to spread out
- unparalleled privacy and exclusivity
- in the middle of nowhere yet accessible to nearby cities
CONS
- books up quickly
- off-the-charts expensive
- a bit of a hike from San Sebastián
