Beautiful rural Basque house
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.

Spanish countryside at its best.
The only thing that could have been better was the weather, but in May it can be a challenge almost anywhere. However, we still managed to do some hiking, spent time in the wonderful town of Etxalar, enjoyed the local restaurant/bar/bakery, enjoyed the local people very much, as well as the farm / countryside life, taking in the wonderful drives to St.Jean de Luz in France, San Sebastian, etc.. It was a wonderful stay and Beki was a 'peach' and most helpful.

Great, peaceful property for a family of 5 with adult(ish) children
Easy access to San Sebastián, Biarritz etc but tucked away in the heart of Basque with just fantastic views. BBQ's and Spotify streaming are a must for our family. Just the job as no neighbours to worry about. To be fair Beki is a kind of neighbour and was always on hand to help. The drive to the property is an experience but you can't get views without going up a bit. The only niggle was with being 6'3" the 4'6" bed was cosy. Would definitely go back.

Lovely home in the hills of Basque Country
The home was beautiful and in a wonderful spot in the hills above Etxalar. Beki, who lives nearby,was very helpful and took care of all our needs. I can't think of a better spot to stay in northern Basque Country. Etxalar is a lovely town and quite near to many mountain hikes, villiages and sea shore towns like San Sebastián and St Jean De Luz. We spent 10 days and hope to return.

Peaceful hilltop house
Well equipped mountain house, beautiful views, tinkling of cow/sheep bells. Nice village with good cafe for food and drinks. Steep partially paved road to property. Great access to San Sebastián and beyond. Peaceful!!!

Lovely house in a beautiful setting
The house is beautiful, very comfortable and well-furnished with plenty of space and with lovely views of the surrounding hills and Etxalar down in the valley. We particularly enjoyed sitting on the balcony looking at the views, admiring the birds of prey circling overhead, soothed by the sound of bells and the scent of honeysuckle. We also had fun exploring the book collection - some quirky choices, others, like the guidebooks, very useful. The road to the house twists and turns and we definitely needed Beki to show us the way when we first arrived. We soon discovered that it was surprisingly quick to walk down to Etxalar to the local shop, the bar and the wonderful Basque restaurant. It is a great area for hikes from the door - including over the border into France and Beki helped us out with suggestions of places to visit. A fabulous base for exploring this part of the Pyrenees.

Great stay
Stayed here with my wife, 1 year old son and my parents. Great house and views with plenty of space and well equipped. Beki was a great host. Beautiful part of the world and all so green, could have mistaken the scenery for Switzerland. We had day trips to Biarritz, St Jean De Luz, San Sebastian, Bilbao and Pampolma, all within 1.5 hours.

A house to be enjoyed in a beautiful setting
A distinctive chalet-style house which is quirkily and lovingly decorated (and filled with interesting books). The downstairs is open plan with a lovely large terrace so it's a lovely space to spend time in. The views over the valley and village are beautiful. The house was very clean and well equipped. Beki and family could not do enough for us and were available for tips/questions or just a chat. Accessible to French and Spanish towns and beaches which we enjoyed visiting. To be recommended.
