l'art de vivre

Unfortunately our first days during our Spain-France vacation in May started with rain, wind and temperatures around 15°C. But on the other side this was perfect to sleep in without feeling bad about wasting our time in bed. :) We had the perfect accommodation for such weather. Hotel Villa Soro in San Sebastian is located in a 19th century villa and seems to be renovated not so long ago. The 25 rooms are bright, friendly and cosy. Bathroom is big enough and the view on the park which separates the building from the busy street is very nice.

Breakfast was served in a winter garden. The variety is not very big, as the people in the South of Europe traditionally have a very quick and small breakfast, if at all. The buffet consists of fresh vegetables and fruits and some jam. Eggs, ham, cheese, cereals etc. need to be ordered as well as a choice of small toasted baguette slices. Breakfast staff was very friendly but hardly spoke English.

The hotel’s location is ideal as it is within walking distance of the old town and the beach where you can watch the surfers at every time independent of the weather. If you have planned to enjoy a dinner at Arzak like we did you should really think about booking this nice hotel. It’s a nice walk about 15 minutes what we enjoyed especially on our way home after such a big menu.

A short note on internet and parking: WLAN is available in all rooms and is free of charge as is the parking. We really liked that and it would be great if more hotels would follow this example, especially as regards the internet. It’s unbelievable that some city hotels charge you 20,- Euro or more for one day using internet.
