This is probably one of the most stunning hotels I’ve stayed in. A converted colonial mansion, with lots of original features, furniture, paintings, inner gardens, fountains. Extremely relaxing atmosphere. We stayed in a (enormous) standard room for 11 nights, which don’t normally have a sea view and don’t always have a terrace, but I emailed reception well in advance and they gave us an amazing room on the clifftop with unhindered views from a terrace area. It did also double as a walkway around the hotel so occasionally our peace was broken by wandering guests but most of them took the hint and didn’t hang around too long. The wifi is decent from wjat we could tell although we also had a data sim for streaming tv and films. The TV in your room connects to your devices using chromecast (better for Android devices) so you can watch stuff. The gardens are beautifully maintained and the pool, while chilly is clean and has incredible views. Plenty of sun loungers. All the food was good, I told them I had a gluten intolerance and they always had something on offer at breakfast. We ate lunch and dinner there a few times and although pricier than most restaurants downtown it wasn’t overpriced for the quality. Didn’t find anywhere as nice in town at all, certainly nowhere that openly catered for GF except for a wee cafe. The service is a bit laissez faire but they are clearly a bit short staffed at times, once you accept you are on holiday and it’s a slower pace, it’s not a problem. The only pointer is that at breakfast they often don’t take an order (including for coffee as the machines were unreliable) until you’re nearly finished! However the staff were all really good natured and even helped me with my pigeon Spanish :) My only real ask is that as the food options in San Sebastian are limited, (and it is a hike up and down that hill!) a light lunch option, ie not full fine dining would be a welcome asset by the pool and bar areas. We ended up eating crackers and cheese in our room from the convenience store often for lunch when we didn’t feel like the trek into town. A real beautiful experience of a hotel that I would recommend for a different and peaceful break.
