Hotel Iturregi

This eight-room property, set in the hilly vineyards outside the tiny fishing village of Getaria, makes an ideal under-the-radar base from which to explore Spain’s Basque coast. Interiors are cool and subdued, with the occasional boldly patterned fabric or surprising combination (a sharp-angled love seat next to a Louis XVI–style bench). Venture 15 miles east to Spain’s modern culinary mecca, San Sebastián.
