This place is a Basque gem! We loved it. Andoni’s craftsmanship is evident everywhere you look and these beautiful touches create a stunning finish and a very cosy experience. My biggest fear staying in December was the cold- but when we arrived Andoni had already lit the pot belly stove and the whole house was toasty warm. Our clothes dried easily too. The house was perfect for our family of five. The location was excellent for exploring the Basque Country. My husband and I walked to Sare each morning for coffee (40 mins). The view from the house was lovely.

A charming, very special gem in the Basque mountains, far from the hustle and bustle. Andoni, the friendly, unassuming host, has created something extraordinary. He speaks Basque, Spanish, French, and—good for us—sign language. If this had once been a sheep barn, I would have loved to be a sheep there. Everything you need is there, fully equipped, and leaves nothing to be desired. Highly recommended *****

Peaceful and Beautiful

This house is incredible. I've never stayed in a place as beautifully crafted and in such a beautiful rural setting. We cooked 4 nights as well and found the kitchen and outdoor grill to be well stocked. Our group was a family of 4 - kids were 18 and 14 years old. During our 5 nights stay we visited the nearby French Basque towns (including Espelette), we day-tripped to San Sebastian, went to Bayonne, Saint Jean de Luz, and Hendaye. Really fun week!

Beautiful house

We loved this house and appreciated the work that had gone into building and furnishing it. Lots of wood in the structure and fittings and an excellent standard. Andoni lives next door and is a very attentive host. The only problem we had, when arriving, was not following his Google map instructions on the location. Once we realised what to do, we went straight to the house! The house is very well equipped, comfortable and has lovely surrounding garden and views. Plenty of outdoor seating and tables for eating. It would be particularly good for children as there are swings and a slide to play on. This area is has beautiful scenery and very pretty towns and villages and we were perfectly located to explore.

Tranquil stay in special French Basque region

We could not have asked for a more ideal vacation or a better host. Andoni Garbisu is an exceptionally friendly and helpful VRBO host. Of the many regions we visited during our month in France, the French Basque region is definitely our favorite... and much of that is due to the beauty and comfort of the home at Anikunborda and the graciousness of Andoni. If you enter ANIKUNBORDA as the “destination” on your cell phone’s Google Maps app, you will have no problem finding the house. My recommendation is to arrive before sunset because the roads are winding and narrow and it is much easier to navigate in the light. But once you’ve arrived, you will feel very secure in your ability to find the home again (assuming you have mobile GPS). The GPS with which many rental cars are equipped will NOT work to locate the house. The highlights of our three days in the area were our trip to Zumaia where we had an exceptional Air BnB “tour experience” with Angel Patricio in the Zumaia Geopark; our half day in Hondarribia and other half day in St-Jean-de-Luz were also favorite experiences. For a beautiful beach and shopping, visit Biarritz (great linens at Jean-Vier plus a great Oceanside promenade walk). And, of course, there is the truly exceptional cuisine of the area – particularly a restaurant we found called Ostalapia near Ahetze and the pintxos of nearby Spain (Anikunborda is literally a few minutes drive to the Spanish border). San Sebastián, about 45 minutes away, is famous for its inventive pintxos cuisine, but we also had wonderful pintxos in smaller towns like Zumaia, Hondarribia and St-Jean-de-Luz—and they were much more affordable. Overall, we had a wonderful, relaxing, and highly interesting vacation in the very special Basque region. Thank you, Andoni!

L'annonce correspond à la réalité. La bergerie est très propre et bien équipée.

Le propriétaire est sympathique et l'arrivée s'est fait sans difficulté. La cuisine est bien équipée. L'accès Wi-Fi n'est pas exceptionnel car la location est située en pleine campagne. Les routes d'accès sont étroites mais sans problème. La localisation est excellente à 30 mn de la mer et à quelques minutes de la Rhune.

Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt. Die Region ist sehr abwechslungsreich. Wir sind mit den Fahrrädern gefahren. Man sollte gut trainiert sein oder ein E-Bike haben.Das Haus ist gut ausgestattet. Es ist alles da was gebraucht wird. Die Kommunikation hat super über eine Übersetzung-App funktioniert. Der Besitzer ist sehr freundlich, hilfsbereit und geht auf Wünsche ein.Das Haus ist sehr ruhig gelegen und wir haben uns sehr gut erholen können.Direkt vor dem Haus geht eine Wanderroute lang. Man kann wunderbar Rad fahren und Wandern.Vielen Dank für den schönen Aufenthalt.

Ein außergewöhnliches Haus mit teilweise baskischem antiken Mobiliar ausgestattet. Moderne Küche mit Induktions-E-Herd, Siebträger-Kaffeemaschine u. Wasserkocher. Küchen-Ausstattung komplett bis hin zum Austernmesser.Vermieter, ein älterer netter u. hilfsbereiter Herr wohnt nebenan, spricht allerdings kein französisch, sondern nur spanisch und baskisch.Entgegen unserer Annahme befand sich das Haus nicht wie für einen ehemaligen Schafstall üblich, in einer abgelegenen Gegend sondern in einer Wohnstrasse.Insofern kam es in den elf Tagen unseres Aufenthaltes sogar an Sonn- u. Feiertagen zu einer ständigen Ruhestörung durch nachbarliche Gartenarbeiten, wie Rasenmähen, Rasentrimmen und Arbeiten mit dem Hochdruckreiniger, lärmende Kinder taten ihr übriges.Nun noch eine Bemerkung zur Lage des Hauses.Das Haus liegt vom Ortskern Sare ca. 5 Km entfernt u. ist nur über sehr enge meistens einspurige kurvenreiche Straßen erreichbar, es sollten sich nur geübte Autofahrer hierfür entscheiden.Das Haus ist sehr schön, es sollten sich hierfür jedoch nur Urlauber evtl. mit Kindern oder lärmresistente Menschen interessieren.Monika u.

Vielen Dank für Ihre Meinung. Es tut mir leid, dass Ihre Erwartungen nicht erfüllt wurden. Was alle am meisten hervorheben, ist die Ruhe und Stille. Sie haben jedoch nicht dasselbe empfunden. Ich hatte den Eindruck, dass Sie sehr geräuschempfindlich sind. Was die Sprache betrifft, spreche ich nicht perfekt Französisch, aber ich kommuniziere mit Franzosen auf Französisch. Sie sagten mir, dass Sie kein Französisch sprechen, aber ich denke, wir haben uns ganz gut mit dem Übersetzer verständigt. Sie haben das Haus sicher verlassen, aber ohne sich zu verabschieden.
