About this property

Historic Basque Farmhouse Near Bilbao

Artiñano Etxea, is known by the elders of the town as "the palace". Its architectural features and its bourgeois-industrial past owe it its name, although now this hamlet has become a very special rustic accommodation in the Orozko Valley, at the foot of the Gorbea Natural Park.

Artiñano Etxea has 7 double rooms, large rooms with a large window (ideal for groups), full kitchen, an old gate, swimming pool and some curiosities such as a library that connects two rooms (very practical for parents with children) or a chapel where formerly masses were given. All this surrounded by a garden of tall trees designed in 1914 by an English landscaper, which houses a large pool, which makes the place a very intimate and pleasant space. The owners live on the third floor of the property with our cat that roams the area. However, the only thing that is shared with customers is the access stairs to the rooms.

Ten minutes walking separate Artiñano Etxea from Zubiaur, the center of Orozko, where you can potentiate, paint, take walks, visit the Museum ... For those who prefer the mountain, they will have a wide range of possible routes; from the ascent to the mythical Cruz del Gorbea or the eye of Atxulaur to other less known trails such as the Kikirinauxis route or the Supelaur cave.

In Artiñano Etxea we give you the possibility to rent the space by rooms or the whole house, we help you organize special events, we bring you and take you to the airport or Bilbao if necessary, we propose plans ... If you need something that escapes the norm, let us know and we will see what can be done. Approach Artiñano Etxea and live the experience.

The property was lovely and full of famiky history ... unfortunately we couldn't use the pool as it was undergoing maintenance but the owners arranged for us to use the Town Pool. Our hosts were exceptional and went out of their way when we asked for information. Would thoroughly recommend for any large groups. The setting is amazing.

Perfecto par grupos grandes y para desconectar

4familias con chavales... Paseo cerca de las casas (todas muy chulas ) y al rededor. Todo para la cocina, chimenea, jardín muy guay, mucho espacio, vista a arboles y naturaleza. Los dueños vives ahí arriba del todo pero no molestan y no les vimos excepto para recoger y dejar las llaves

Nos encanta que la casa sea un espacio de reunión familiar o de amistad y para desconectar. Nos encanta recibir grupos que quieran disfrutar de una casa grande y un entorno espectacular como es Gorbea.

Vacances grand mère avec enfants et petits enfants

Nous avons pu profité de la piscine et du jardin. La cuisine était bien équipé et la maison accueillante. Les environs sont magnifique, des balades avec des jolis point de vue, la mer n'est pas loin et le musée de Guggenheim à Bilbao mérite une visite. Nous avons adoré la vie le soir dans les petits villages!! Bref un magnifique séjour.

Stedet er ikke egnet til en aktiv storfamilie. Alle vores medbragte legeredskaber var ubrugelige.

1: Huset ligger i fin afstand til Bilbao, men bil er nødvendig. 2: Huset er ældre og meget autentisk. 3: Desværre var der mus i køkkenet. 4: Det var ikke muligt at spille bold eller lege på grunden, fordi grunden var MEGET kuperet, hvilket vore store børn savnede. 5: Der manglede solsenge ved poolen og de få solstole der var var ikke tilstrækkeligt til 11 personer 6: Højdeforskellen på grunden fremgår ikke af boligens beskrivelse. 7: Der var en ulidelig gøen af mange hunde døgnet rundt, men det var især problematisk om natten, hvor hundegøen kunne vare op til en halv time af gangen. Jeg påtalte dette overfor ejeren da vi rejste, og bad ham melde dyrplageriet til det lokale politi. .
