Every monument has a story to tell. Check out Virgen del Carmen and learn a little about the city's history.

You'll be spoiled for sightseeing choice when visiting Santurtzi. Virgen del Carmen is a good place to begin here, but there are lots of other worthy spots to enjoy. San Mames Stadium, Sopelana Beach, and University of Deusto Bilbao are close to the commemorative structure and will round out your day nicely.

The host Blanca was very attentive and most helpful. The Villa was a short bus ride from the centre and the buses were every 10 minutes. The bed and bedding were fabulous and the breakfast a delight.The secure parking was a bonus.

We received a room upgrade! Staff was universally kind and polite and generous - they remembered that we brought our dogs here before and provided very nice dog beds and food bowls for them. Breakfast was, as always, delicious and elegant - perfect hollandaise on the benedict and very fresh fruit plate. We will be back.
