“Carved from a former convent, this property provides more than just a stay; it's an immersion into San Sebastian's serene heights, complete with a unique rooftop vista. I especially appreciate the blend of historical architecture with contemporary spa amenities. For me, the rooftop bar alone makes it worth the visit.”
