Wonderful property in an excellent location with a beautiful view! Miguel was responsive and helpful throughout our stay. Ideal location if you want to have a midway point between San Sebastián and Bilbao, which is what my friends and I were looking for. Would love to stay there again!

The price was incredible for the amazing property we got to stay in. The views are breathtaking. And it really does sleep 12 comfortably. The beds are quality. The bathrooms are modern and spacious. It's a short walk to one of the cleanest beaches you will ever walk on. And the water? You can see your feet clearly when you're neck deep in the water.Miguel was an awesome host. He was responsive and genuinely cared about our comfort.It was a dream stay. I'd return to Getaria just to stay in this villa again.

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.

The stay at Villa Embil was fabulous! Miguel was as hospitable and helpful with all aspects of our family holiday as anyone could ask for!! Getaria was a perfect location with the beach just a short walk, the village just a short walk, and not the congestion of San Sebastion. The Villa was perfect for the 11 of us with 4 levels of space and vistas of the sea from almost everywhere! We even had Chef Laura come and do a cooking class for all of us that Miguel arranged! Truly a great vacation at a great spot with a great host!!!

Incredible Home and Location

We spent 5 nights in this gorgeous home and wish we could have stayed a month! This historic home has been fully updated but still retains the charm from its rich history. The location is fantastic for quick trips around the region or just lazy walks on the beach. I could not recommend this property more highly. It has everything you could need! We are already making plans to return!

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!

We had an amazing time at this beautiful villa in Getaria. The host, Miguel, Angel, was very informative and wonderful to get to know. The adults had an amazing time, relaxing on the various patios, and the children loved the outdoor spaces. It is located very close to the little village, which was bustling due to local festivities. We also enjoyed easy access to the beach. Our large group had three cars, and though there was not parking at the house, there was across the street. It was easy to feed the meter for the day. We would highly recommend this villa property, and host, to anyone!

Blown Away

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

Beautiful villa Embil

We stayed here for my partners 50th birthday and had an amazing time. The villa is set up with everything you could need and had ample room for our party of 12. The online photos don’t do it, or the views justice, it’s even better in real life. The location is amazing, Getaria is a beautiful town with easy access to San Sebastián. Miguel was a perfect host, really helpful and communicative. He and his wife have renovated the villa very well. We will be back!

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.

Amazing villa!

Miguel was super nice to meet us at the villa for check in. He explained how to use everything in the house and even talked to the private chef we booked for a house dinner one night, which was really helpful. He was also very responsive when we had questions during the stay. The villa was the perfect place to celebrate our marriage and house our family for a few days. The villa had everything you could think of and we were very impressed with the kitchen. The views are absolutely incredible, all of our guests were in awe of the property. Getaria is a wonderful town and easy to get around by foot. You can even walk to some wineries with delicious wines and spectacular views. We highly recommend staying here!!

A little slice of heaven in the Basque country

I can't say enough about this amazing place called Villa Embil. The pictures don't come close to showing the beauty of the property and spectacular views from the various decks and windows within the home. Miguel is fantastic, and went above and beyond in accommodating our group. Great communication and personal attention. I highly recommend this rental to anyone who wants to have a special experience in the Basque country. And you must have Miguel arrange a prepared dinner by Chef Montxo for your group on the deck. Can't wait to return!

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.

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.

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!!!!
