Iturregi Hotela — Hotel in Getaria

We recently spent 7 unforgettable days at Hotel Iturregi with two other couples, and it exceeded every expectation. Tucked into the hills above Getaria, this 8-room boutique hotel is a true hidden gem—offering peaceful luxury, impeccable service, and panoramic views that stretch down to the iconic Getaria lighthouse and fishing village.||From the moment we arrived (greeted warmly at the end of the driveway, as they were expecting us), we felt genuinely welcomed. The staff are exceptional—attentive, professional, and warm. A special thank you to Xabier, whose thoughtful support and local guidance added so much to our experience. His kindness and intuition made us feel more like house guests than hotel clients.||Breakfast each morning was a personalized delight. Whether served in the dining room or out on the patio with its sweeping views, everything was perfectly tailored—our preferences remembered as we sat down.||The grounds are magical—surrounded by vineyards, the entire property exudes calm and quiet elegance. The pool is a true highlight, hidden in a lush, garden-like setting that feels like a private oasis. It's the perfect place to unwind after exploring the region.||Housekeeping was meticulous, and the overall atmosphere of the hotel is one of relaxed refinement. The attention to detail, from fresh flowers to quiet, thoughtful service, is truly world-class.||The location is ideal for day trips throughout the Basque Coast. We enjoyed:||- Incredible pintxos and shopping in San Sebastián’s Old Town||- Outstanding seafood and fine dining in Getaria||- The colorful charm of Hondarribia (on the border with France)||- A picturesque beach in Zarautz, surrounded by surfers and families along the boardwalk||Hotel Iturregi offers a rare blend of natural beauty, refined comfort, and truly exceptional hospitality. It’s the perfect retreat for anyone looking to experience the best of the Basque Country in a peaceful, luxurious setting. Whether relaxing by the pool, enjoying vineyard views, or exploring nearby coastal towns, every moment feels thoughtfully curated. We left...

We stayed for two nights in July. First impressions of the hotel were stunning. It is accessed via a secure gate and a beautiful driveway leads you to the front of the hotel, from which there is an amazing view across the vineyards to the sea. We received a friendly greeting and were shown around the ground floor area before being shown to our room. Whilst one of the most basic rooms the hotel offered, it was still very luxurious and met our needs very well. Breakfast on the terrace was amazing and we were well looked after again by the staff, who spoke perfect English. We used the pool during our stay and that was a welcome relief from the heat.||||My only gripe was that a family of two adults and three children were also staying during this time. This detracted somewhat from the peace and quiet that most people experience at this hotel, since they could not help but be noisy around the pool and at breakfast. I wonder whether the hotel has considered welcoming adults only, as this would provide the assurance to guests that they would have a peaceful stay.||||Nevertheless, we did thoroughly enjoy our stay at Hotel Iturregi and would definitely love to return...

This boutique hotel is located in a beautiful green hill close to Getaria and with great views of Txakoli vineyards and the Cantabrian sea. Tranquil surroundings and expansive grounds provide a relaxing ambiance. The architecture of the main building is like a typical basque “caserio”. The rooms are large and comfortable. The facilities include a seasonal pool that is nestled inside an old chapel ruins and surrounded by a garden. Home made tasty breakfast that can be enjoyed inside or outside if the weather is good. Limited options for dinner but especial requests can be accommodated, like having a private dinner at their “secret” kitchen and dinning room. There is an honesty bar with beverages. This is a little paradise for relaxation and we are very lucky to have stayed on three different occasions. The hospitality team is very attentive and helpful. They put us in touch with a local cheesemonger to visit their craft operation in the mountains and buy some of the best Idiazabal cheese around. They can also help you with local Txakoli...
