Landarte
Ctra. Artadi Anzoa 1, Zumaia, Basque Country, 20750, Spain, Zumaia, Basque Country 20750, SpainWhy We Like It
For those who want a taste of Basque rustic life complete with comfort, style, and friendly service, look no farther. Rest and relaxation are easy to be had here, and while Zumaia itself is not the most charming of villages, the picturesque beach towns of Getaria, Zarautz, and San Sebastián are all an easy drive away. Landarte proves to be an idyllic and family-friendly getaway at a great price.
Fodor's Expert Review
Landarte is a traditional rustic getaway surrounded by an evergreen oak forest with views of the sea just a mile outside of the coastal village of Zumaia. The family-run rural manor, restored from its 16th century foundations, has a quintessential baserri exterior with surprisingly modern and stylish rooms inside and a garden terrace overlooking gorgeous vistas.
You Should Know The inn is closed during the winter.

Art is the subject of choice here, with a permanent collection of colorful paintings adorning the downstairs living room and reading room above plus a library collection of all sorts of art books to pour into as you lounge around.
