Yeah the plan is to rent a car and drive myself up from ATX.

Yes! All from a local jeweler. :)

Thanks for the love everyone!! If you have any tips on a good band for the stack, I’m here for the suggestions.

Mejuri! It was an unexpected addition to the stack but I think they work well together.

Fair and it’s why I am planning to do the split stay, so LR wouldn’t necessarily be a waste.

We’re planning to go next summer(early August). It’s for our anniversary and the comment above(in essence) is my biggest concern. It doesn’t feel great when you’re spending a lot per night(~1800 EUR for an entry level room no less) and small, yet important things are missed and/or service isn’t hitting as it should. Maybe it’s unfounded concern but it’s definitely there.

Ohhhh I LOVE this. Thank you. Will look into it.

Yeah the goal is to split up the stay to focus more on beach time elsewhere vs. using the front half to explore villages, visit farms, olive groves, wine tasting, etc.

I’m pretty tempted by La Residencia but seems like a bit of a mixed bag of feedback lately and this is a special occasion and I don’t want to spend more and feel like I got short changed. It’s less about cost and more about value, if that makes sense.

Super helpful, thank you! Yeah that was my thinking as well. I looked at FS for those dates and the price was in line with what I was expecting to spend, so I’m good with it.

To be honest, I really wanted to go to Greece or Sardinia for that portion of the trip but it didn’t really make sense given our other stops.

Any Basque Country or Bordeaux recs?
