2 Best Hotels in Getaria and Zumaia, The Basque Country, Navarra, and La Rioja

An idyllic beach escape with panoramic views over the Bay of Biscay, this renovated 15th-century house on Getaria's uppermost street has cozily decorated rooms. Those facing the street have heavy stone walls and carved wooden furniture, while those on the seaside are more minimal with spectacular views.

Surrender to the slow pace of country life at this family-run hotel perched on a hilltop amid rolling vineyards. The guest rooms may be on the basic side (laminate floors, nothing-special mattresses, astroturfed balconies), but what the property lacks in traditional luxury it makes up for with pin-drop silence, sweeping ocean views, and personalized attention.
