What a wonderful time we had in September of 2015 staying in this charming Basque village and delightful home! A GPS was most helpful in finding this quaint, out of the way little village of less than a thousand people. The house is handsome, comfortable, and very well furnished. It has an eclectic collection of books, board games and music and lots of comfortable seating. The upstairs balconies look out over hills with cows and sheep and other farm houses and are the perfect place to read, visit, or nap. Each morning we walked to the village bakery where we enjoyed an assortment of fresh breads and pastries and a chance to visit with the friendly owner. There is a small grocery store in the village where one is able to purchase fresh fruit and vegetables, meat, cheese and eggs, and other supplies. There is an old church in the village with a dekightful if slightly out of tune bell that rings throughout the day.

One day we packed a picnic lunch and hiked to France. Another day we drove to France and enjoyed the beach and a delicious crepe lunch. Because the house is so comfortable and charming, it was tempting to never leave, but there are many interesting things to do in the area, either on foot or by car.

Host Beki is a bright, warm, non-intrusive woman who lives in an apartment on the grounds. She was most helpful in suggesting outings and providing tips for interesting options in the area. We thoroughly enjoyed our 5 day stay and would love to return!
