“What strikes me most is the seamless blend of modern design and historical preservation; the 17th-century convent's bones now house contemporary luxury, including a rooftop pool with sea views and a dedicated spa. I appreciate that its location balances quietude with accessibility, offering an easy walk to La Concha Beach, and the varied breakfast provides a strong start to exploring San Sebastian. It seems a smart choice for travellers looking to combine relaxation with Basque culture.”
