A magnificent villa overlooking the gorgeous sea side town of Getaria

Every few years, my best friends and I get together to celebrate our joint birthdays. This year we decided to celebrate in the wonderful Basque Country. Between us there were 8 adults and 4 tweeners who enjoyed the beautiful Villa Embil perched overlooking the twon of Getaria. The Villa was well equipped with everything we could possibly need and it was delightful to learn about the history of the Villa from the owner Miguel on arrival. We had our very own vegetable garden to pick fresh produce from. We organised our last night in together with a local chef who came and prepared some local delicacies. It's a short walk into town to enjoy some fine Pintxos and a drink. The view from atop 'mouse mountain' is spectacular and the coastal walk to neighbouring beachside town of Zarautz is well worth it. 10/10 and would stay there again.

Amazing family holiday and picturesque location!

Villa Embil lived up to our expectations of a perfect property, with all little considerations taken into account. From toiletries in the bathrooms, to perfect renovations respecting the Villa's history, and a beautifully decked out kitchen - we couldn't say more! We had 4 adults and 5 kids, so plenty of space across the house. Miguel was wonderful, being flexible in our check in (although the entry was a little difficult to find!) and providing us with many hints and tips for our stay, in Getaria, San Sebastian and also Pamplona. We definitely recommend having Miguel's friends, Monxto and his wife, come and host a typical Basque dinner at the house - the highlight of our holiday. Thanks again Miguel!

Prachtig huis met vol zicht op de zee.

Zeer goed uitgeruste keuken. Voldoende zitruimte binnen en buiten. Mooie tuin. Zeer schoon en goede communicatie met eigenaar. Er loopt een drukke weg tussen strand en huis. Parkeren moet op enige afstand van het huis. Maar in en uit laden kan toch direct voor de ingang. Wel rekening houden met flink trappen lopen tussen weg en ingang. Zeer luxe en aangenaam huis. Goed verwarmd en prima faciliteiten.

Amazing stay!

We loved staying here! Our whole group had a wonderful time. Many listings aren't quite as nice as the pictures, but Villa Embil is even nicer than the beautiful pictures! It's spacious, plenty of bathrooms, big bedrooms, great kitchen, and the views are spectacular. We would come back anytime.

A Beautiful Villa in a Great Location

We are two families with grown up children; we have been away together several times in recent years and we all agreed this was the best villa yet. Everything was excellent! The photographs don't do the villa justice. The kitchen was well equipped, the beds more comfortable than what we have at home and the location was perfect! We are already planning our return trip!

Take your high expectations and double them.

This place is amazing!!! The pictures are only a glimpse of what you will get to live in. It’s a beautiful property with all you will need (towels, blow dryers, spices, pots/pans, washer/dryer, etc). The beds are super comfortable and the property is very peaceful. The views are pure magic. The new hang out area in the basement is the best!!! To top it all off Miguel is a genuine person wanting to make your stay perfect. Just get ready for steps as this place is perched above the town. We didn’t have much issue with parking, but it is a bit complicated. You can park at the gate at the bottom for about 30 min, but then you need to take your car to the beach parking which is just about a 3 min walk back to the house. You can usually park in a spot where you can see your car from the house. Needless to say, we WILL be back!!!! Thank you, Miguel!!!!

Week in Getaria at Villa Embil

Our large family group stayed at Villa Embil for 6 nights. Miguel was a great host and answered all questions and needs very well for us. The villa is beautiful and overlooks the Getaria harbor. We enjoyed many beautiful mornings and evenings from the viewpoints at the villa. The layout was perfect for having meals and celebrations with the whole family. The villa has been renovated with very high quality materials. Lastly, we followed Miguel's recommendation to have his chef friend Montxo come provide a fabulous Basque dinner at the house. The meal was amazing and Montxo and his wife accommodated everyone's dietary needs very well. This chef's dining experience is highly recommended if possible.

Family holiday in the Basque Country

This is a high quality property situated with many beautiful views of the ocean and town of Getaria. It is a short walk to the lovely village of Getaria, and a short drive or 30 min walk to the lively town of Zaurutz. Parking was a bit of an inconvenience, but the 9 of us with three cars managed. Mastering the method to get a ticket to park legally took us - and many others - some effort. We felt great after learning to manage after a few tries. 😉Others commented on the parking already. We are all in good shape, but note that getting in and out is a climb. And the road noise is present, but not bad. The host was very pleasant and we communicated through WhatsApp easily. WiFi was great. Kitchen was nice. We harvested lettuce and cucumbers from the garden! The nearby Balenciaga museum was great, and we enjoyed several restaurants in the old village and the clean BM grocery store up the hill. Our visit included time in San Sebastián, about 30 min away, and several magnificent hikes in nearby parks. One walk through a botanical garden and old mills, and another climb to a Borda near Atseuza. Really wonderful for those with the health and interest. Also a memorable evening at a cider house! We are very glad for the experience and the house was part of what made our holiday great.

Beautiful Villa

We stayed at the villa to celebrate the marriage of my daughter and her fiancée. The property was gorgeous and well maintained. The owner was responsive, and we loved the private chef he recommended. Only issue was with parking, but once we figured out where to park it was no problem. Also be prepared for lots of stairs. Some in our party had trouble getting their luggage into the villa because of the climb.

Marvelous Time at a Remarkable Home

Villa Embil is a little slice of heaven. The property is immaculate with fabulous views and excellent proximity to the charming town of Getaria. The house is extremely comfortable and very well appointed. The nearby Txakoli vineyards are not to be missed. Miguel is an excellent host offering great communication and an extensive guide book for the house and surrounding area. A few key points about which visitors should be aware: The house is situated above the main road and requires a stair climb for access. There is no onsite parking. The nearest parking is extremely close. However, free parking on the nearby dirt road was not always available during our stay. We were always able to find paid public parking, but depending upon how many beachgoers were using the on street parallel parking, the walk from the car back to the house could be up to five minutes. (NOTE: Parking enforcement is only in effect between 10 AM and 8 PM and payment for 24 hours was ~12 Euros.) Finally, dealing with trash and recycling was a minor inconvenience. Be prepared for an extensive waste separation process. Disposal of accumulated trash and recycling is about 500 meters from the house. Despite such minor inconveniences, we had a marvelous time at Villa Embil. The descriptions and photos only hint at the beauty of this house and the surroundings. If we ever return to this magical area we will definitely stay again.

What a magical home and experience. We had our 3 young kids (4,3,1), parents, and aunt with us for a week in Getaria, and will be longing to go back to this Villa every day until we do. Miguel is a special host, and his home was made to feel’s our for our time there. Perhaps our favorite VRBO of all time

Gorgeous stay in Getaria

Our stay at Villa Embil was everything we hoped it would be. The property is even more gorgeous than in the photos. We were there with four young kids, and the proximity to town, the beach, and all sorts of day-trips made it perfect for us. Miguel was incredibly helpful - setting up Pintxo tours in San Sebastian and incredible home cooked meals for us. He went above and beyond in helping me figure out Covid testing to return to the US. All in all - I'd highly recommend and we hope to be back again soon!

Perfect!

A perfect Villa and location to use as a home base to explore the beautiful Basque region. Miguel, our host, was extremely attentive and went over and above, answering all of our queries about the area and fulfilling all of our requests. The villa is beautiful and very comfortable, with views that are breath taking. And although the area is a food mecca, the villa was so enjoyable, we spent many evenings cooking in the fully stocked kitchen, grilling fresh fish on the outside grill and drinking the local wine. It was everything we hoped it would be. Thank you Miguel for helping us experience a holiday we will never forget! Hope to see you again....

About the host

Hosted by Miguel Angel Bermejo Fraile

We are a large family, and we get together in this house to enjoy its unbeatable surroundings.

Why they chose this property

This is our second home, and because of its size, our entire family fits in it.

During summer, we enjoy the terraces, the ocean view, the continuous flow of yachts and sailing boats, or we take care of the gardens and our small ecological orchard.

During winter, we enjoy the cosy environment provided by the fireplace in our living room, while we look at the power of the ocean waves through the large windows or relax with one of the many books from our library.

It offers a relaxing environment.
