We had a wonderful stay in this rural Basque house. It was clean, spacious and well equipt. Amazing views across to Etxalar. The garden was a little over grown. We enjoyed the short steep walk into town to the bars and shops. Access to the property by car was a little challenging and not for the nervious driver. We would throughly recommend this property.

We had a lovely week staying in this house. The host Beki was very welcoming, met us in the village to guide us to the house and gave us a tour and information about the house, appliances and garden. She also gave us some recommendations of places to visit and great restaurants in the surrounding area. It was also good to know she was only a message away, should we need anything (which we didn't). We found the house to be well-equipped with everything we needed for a weeklong stay. It was clean and spacious! It's in a high up position above the village so we had excellent views looking over the village and surrounding landscape. It's also well connected with nature - in the evenings we loved sitting on the balcony watching the red squirrels in the trees and listening to the tinkling of bells of nearby animals.

Die Lage und Großzügigkeit des Hauses, die Einrichtung und die Umgebung sind traumhaft. Man kann in alle Richtungen wandern, in nahen Flüssen baden und auch die größeren Städte an der Küste sind nicht weit. Die Vermieterin war sehr nett, unkompliziert und hilfsbereit. Wir waren mit unseren zwei Söhnen und Hund dort und haben alle den Aufenthalt sehr genossen. Familie Schwedler-Krebs

La maison est très agréable et bien aménagée, nous avons apprécié le calme de l'endroit et la gentillesse de notre hôtesse. Le chemin d'accès est bétonné et ne présente pas de difficulté particulière. Le village d'Etxalar est très beau avec ses maisons basques.

Une maison au plus près des forêts et des montagnes, très belle à l'intérieur, elle est elle même comme une invitation au voyage. Béki la propriétaire est extrêmement sympathique et avenante.

Très bon accueil de la propriétaire, bienveillante tout au long du séjour. Bien que l’accès au logement reste atypique, ce dernier réserve de belles surprises. Dépaysement, calme, paysage de toute beauté sont au rendez-vous. Le logement est par ailleurs spacieux et propre. Les conditions sont réunies pour un bon séjour.

Nous avons passé un très agréable séjour. Le chalet est spacieux et très bien équipé. Nous n'avons manqué de rien. L'hôtesse est très gentille et très accueillante. Le chemin d'accès est très pentu plus adapté à un SUV. Nous recommandons ce logement qui est proche de St jean de Luz, d'Espelette et du train de la Rhune. Visites que nous conseillons vivement.

Wir waren zehn Tage mit unseren beiden Kindern in diesem tollen Haus. Beki hat uns sehr nett empfangen und war stets für uns erreichbar. Das Haus ist wirklich wunderschön, geräumig, sauber und gut ausgestattet. Ein echtes Kleinod in der Natur. Einzig die Anfahrt mit dem Auto ist etwas holprig, aber gut machbar. Etwas außerhalb von Etxalar. Der Vorteil: man ist direkt in der Natur und einer wunderschönen Umgebung. Der Nachteil, man muss eigentlich für alles mit dem Auto fahren. Wir hatten einen wunderschönen Aufenthalt. Vielen Dank Beki

Ruim huis in traditionele stijl gebouwd. Beneden gecombineerde kamer, keuken en toilet). Erg praktisch ingericht. Boven drie slaapkamers (twee met wat smalle tweepersoonsbedden en een met twee eenpersoonsbedden) en twee badkamers. Zowel beneden als boven balkons. Huis ligt net buiten het dorp Etxalar. Stijl weggetje naar het huis was voor ons goed te doen, maar voor sommige mensen zal het een uitdaging zijn. Dorp ligt centraal voor allerlei uitstapjes naar binnenland of de kust.

Très belle location nichée au milieu des arbres au dessus d'un charmant village. La maison est vraiment très agréable à vivre et en tous points conforme aux photos. L'accueil de Beki et ses conseils en cours de séjour sont très agréables. Au village, petite épicerie avec propriétaire bien sympathique. Départ de plusieurs randonnées possibles au départ de la maison et les plages à une bonne demi-heure de route.

Geräumiges, schönes Haus in relativ steiler Hanglage mitten in der Natur außerhalb des kleinen Ortes Etxalar (10 Minuten zu Fuß, Einkaufsmöglichkeit). Schöne Terrasse, über der zum Frühstück regelmäßig verschiedene große Greifvögel kreisen. Gute Ausstattung, WLAN vorhanden, rustikales Ambiente mit Kamin. Die Gastgeberin ist sehr hilfsbereit, freundlich und stand uns immer mit Rat und Tat zur Seite. Zum Strand in Hendaye ca. 40 Minuten mit dem Auto. Wir haben die zwei Wochen als Familie mit zwei erwachsenen Kindern genossen und wären gern noch länger geblieben.

Un entorno muy bonito, una casa muy cómoda y una buena anfitriona! Perfecto para descansar unos días o visitar la zona.

Si te gusta la naturaleza, la casa es ideal por su amplitud, ubicación y vistas. Beki es una anfitriona fabulosa, y tiene la casa y el jardín muy limpios y cuidados.

Wir waren zum zweiten Mal zu sechst hier-und es war wieder so schön! Ein unvergesslicher Ausblick und viel Platz, so hübsche Zimmer, und alles, was man so braucht. Eine schöne Badestelle im Dorf, ein kleiner Kaufmann um Dorf und Wanderwege ringsherum. Hendaye ist super zum Surfen.

This self built house is absolutely stunning. We had a great stay for 6 nights in this big house on the hill and we were lucky with the weather too. There are many possible daytrips in the neighborhood (San Sebastian, Hendaye, Hondaribbia, St-Jean de luz, Pamplona , Passai de donibane) and Etxalar itself is a little beautiful town as well, so we could have stay longer than 6 nights but we had to move on to our next stop . The morning and evening view from the terrace is relaxing. Host Beki is a very nice person and was very helpful, she helped with diner reservation and we may use her parking badge for the busy coast town Hendaye. If you book this house, you won't regret it and will have beautiful memories for many years.

Maison très grande et agréable. Calme assuré. Conforme à la description. Par contre, l'accès à la propriété n'est pas facile, il se fait par un chemin serpentant dans un bois à flanc de colline.
