Heredad de Unanue, San Sebastián
Historic and stylish boutique hotel in nature with a garden and breakfast made with local products
Overview
Kimkim's Take
- You can enjoy the peace and tranquility of the natural environment while still being a quick drive to the city center.
- The rooms and property offer modern comforts and style combined with history in a 15th-16th century building.
- Each of the rooms is unique and decorated with elements of Basque culture, mixing stone walls, wood and metal pieces, warm colors, and contemporary design.
- The family room is spacious and perfect for families or groups, with two large windows and views of the orchards, a large bed, and a sofa bed with a comfortable mattress.
- The property is beautiful, with gardens and countryside views, plus a large outdoor terrace with furnishings.
- You can relax in the lounge and enjoy a daily breakfast with fresh fruit from the property's orchard.
- The hotel is in a rural area of San Sebastián, so you won't be within walking distance of the city's urban center and main sites.
- The glass-enclosed bathrooms might not offer enough privacy to some guests, although they are designed to promote stillness and relaxation.
Authenticity
Hotel Heredad de Unanue is housed in a beautifully restored 15th-16th century building that has stood the test of time, surviving numerous historical events such as the Carlist wars and a devastating fire in 2003. The hotel's design and decor pay homage to its rich past while incorporating modern comforts, celebrating aspects of Basque culture and a mix of natural materials like stone, wood, and metal.Location
You'll enjoy the nature of San Sebastián, as Hotel Heredad de Unanue offers a tranquil retreat less than 10 minutes away from the city center. This unique location is on a narrow country lane over rolling hills. Next to the hotel's historic brick building are the property's orchard and gardens. Take in the views of the countryside from rooms and common areas. Shopping and walking paths are nearby, but keep in mind that you'll need a car to get to the Old Town and beaches.Rooms & Bathrooms
Hotel Heredad de Unanue features 11 rooms, each uniquely decorated with a blend of historical charm and contemporary design. All rooms have glass-enclosed bathrooms with Italian showers, while some also offer lovely views of the surrounding orchards and nature. The Family Room is particularly spacious with a large bed, sofa bed, and a bathroom with two sinks, a bidet, and a walk-in shower, making it perfect for families or small groups seeking additional comfort.Amenities
Although there is no pool, spa, or gym at Heredad de Unanue, in the summer months, you can enjoy a large outdoor deck overlooking the gardens, which comes furnished with cushioned outdoor sofas and umbrellas. There is also a library and a lounge inside to relax in. One of the main perks at Heredad de Unanue is the complimentary private parking. Although not all parts of the hotel are wheelchair accessible (the upper floors are only accessible by stairs), rooms are designed for those with mobility needs, and wheelchairs can navigate some parts of the property.Family-Friendliness
Children of all ages are welcome at Heredad de Unanue, and children under two get to stay for free. Family rooms are available, and while you won’t find any kids’ activities, the hotel grounds provide children plenty of space to play.Other Highlights
Aside from its historical charm, the hotel is focused on providing rest, comfort, and guest satisfaction. The peaceful atmosphere, modern amenities, and exceptional service make it a hidden gem in San Sebastián. Enjoy a delicious breakfast featuring fruits from the hotel's orchard and embrace the serene natural surroundings during your stay.Like what you see?
