Hotel Villa Soro
Ategorrieta, Spain

Villa Soro trades the bustle of the beachfront for a nineteenth-century house surrounded by gardens. High ceilings, fireplaces and a carved staircase preserve the building's character, while its lounges encourage a slower start or a quiet evening after dinner elsewhere. The garden bar serves local delicacies. Choose it if a calm residential setting matters more than stepping straight into the Old Town, and allow time for the journey between them.
