Casa da Vizcaya, Xilloi Beach

A short distance from scuba diving, windsurfing, and more, this smoke-free vacation home lets you experience it all. Jump into your car and make short work of the 6-minute drive to Bay of Biscay or the 5-minute drive to Arealonga Beach (and enjoy the property's convenient covered onsite parking in the meantime).

After you return, you can unwind in the hot tub or sip a drink in the garden. As for the great indoors, you can come inside and enjoy the free WiFi and TV.

Prepare a home-cooked meal in the kitchen, complete with an oven, a stovetop, and a refrigerator, as well as a coffee maker, an electric kettle, and a microwave. Bathroom amenities include a hair dryer, towels, and toilet paper. And you won't have to pack extra clothes, because you'll have a washer and dryer, too. Other amenities include a BBQ grill, bed sheets, an ironing board, and heating.
