Quiet apartment with great views near the center of San Sebastian / Piso tranquilo con estupendas vistas cerca del centro de San Sebastián

We live in San Sebastian, a beautiful city with three beaches, the best known "La Concha", located in a beautiful bay. Our house is a second floor without elevator located very close to downtown, which can be reached by walking (about 20 minutes) or buses with a high frequency. In spite of how close we are to the center, the house is located in a quiet environment with great views of the green mountains that surround the city. Our apartment is part of a house with private access and parking area for the car.

San Sebastian is very well connected by highway and access to our house from it is easy and fast. The city has, besides the beaches, a characteristic old town, with a wide gastronomic offer recognized internationally. In general, throughout the Basque Country, food is something that is carefully cared for.

Just an hour's drive away is Bilbao (with the Guggenheim Museum), Vitoria (European Green Capital 2012), Pamplona (world famous for the San Fermines festival) or Baiona.
San Sebastian is located in the territory of Gipuzkoa, with many interesting things to see, such as the "flysch" of Zumaia. In general, the whole Basque Country is a destination rich in interesting places and with a large number of routes for hiking or cycling.
At 90 minutes by car you reach La Rioja, an area rich in wines.
Our privileged location allows you to choose each day between beach, mountain, cultural and / or gastronomic visits.

We have made exchanges since 2004 with different families and countries and the experience has been great in each case, both for us and for those who have visited our home: France (Paris, Tours, Brest), Portugal (Algarve), Italy (Rome), Austria, Poland (near Krakow), Holland (Amsterdam) and Denmark (Copenhagen).

A pesar de lo cerca que estamos del centro, la vivienda está ubicada en un entorno tranquilo con unas estupendas vistas de los montes verdes que rodean la ciudad. Nuestro piso forma parte de una vivienda con acceso privado y zona de aparcamiento para el coche.

San Sebastián está muy bien comunicada por autopista y el acceso a nuestra casa desde ella es fácil y rápido. La ciudad tiene, además de las playas, un característico casco antiguo, con una amplia oferta gastronómica reconocida internacionalmente. En general, en todo el País Vasco, la comida es algo que se cuida con esmero.

Apenas a una hora en coche se encuentra Bilbao (con el museo Guggenheim), Vitoria (European Green Capital 2012) , Pamplona (mundialmente conocida por la fiesta de los San Fermines) o Baiona.
