About this chalet rental
"ESKITZA" is an authentic kayolar (shepherd's hut) nestled in the Basque mountain, at an altitude of 800m, but with very easy access.
Located on the heights of the town of Arnéguy, above the last farms in the Ondarolle district, this is the first kayolar you will find along the regional road 128, on the chemin des estives, 5 minutes by car from the owners' house (Markitxenea).
Your hosts, Bernadette and Jean-Michel EGOZCUE, producers of pure sheep farm cheese (PDO Ossau-Iraty), will help you discover Basque culture.
This unusual 40 m2 gite, isolated and immersed in nature, will delight you with its breathtaking panorama of the Valcarlos valley and the Roncevaux pass. The serenity and calm of the place will not be disturbed by the Internet since there is no WiFi.
It is perfect for lovers of wild flora and fauna or hikers. You will join the way of St Jacques de Compostelle at less than 4km from the gîte. The numerous raptors; vultures, kites, buzzards and sometimes eagles from Spain will be your neighbors as will the woodpigeons during the migration season.
Some pottoks (wild horses) can also visit you and lull you to sleep with the sound of their bells.
Recently furnished with all modern comforts, it can accommodate up to 4 people and is composed of:
- a living room with large convertible sofa (sleeps 2), a flat screen TV, an open and fully equipped kitchen area: mixed hob (gas / electricity), hood, oven, micro-oven waves, fridge with freezer compartment, small appliances and common utensils. The cottage is heated by reversible air conditioning (electricity consumption included in the rental price).
- a bathroom with a large walk-in shower, a sink, a toilet and a chest of drawers.
- a storage room with washing machine (pantry)
- a bedroom for two people on a mezzanine with a 140 cm bed.
Beds have mattress covers, pillows and duvets, free bed linen.
Outside, you have on the terrace a barbecue and a wooden garden table in the private enclosed space.
Pets admitted free of charge.
Cleaning not included (cleaning service on request = 40 €)
Beds made on arrival on request = 25 €
Towels provided on request = € 16 / week / 4 pers.
Rentals are only weekly in July-August:
Arrivals on Saturday from 3.30 p.m.

Very nice and clean house up on the mountain between cows, donkeys, sheep, horses in a silent place. Outside old traditionel, inside modern with all convenience you need.
Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port, Biarritz, Pamplona are nice cities around, worth a visit and can be reached in 20 to 90 min

Superb property in a beautiful location but we experienced poor misty, rainy, cloudy weather which limited our ability to take full advantage of the outdoor area. Access road up from the valley is very narrow and very twisty and is 8km from Arneguy. Great care must be taken!! A great place to go for peace and quiet with vultures, sheep, cows and pottocks for company.

We had a wonderful week very far up the Pyrenees, right on the border with Spain. Our only neighbours were loads of cows, horses, and hundreds of sheep for making the famous Ossau Iraty cheese. They frequently paraded past our stone shepherd’s shelter. It was very wild and certainly remote - 25 minutes on a very steep and windy road to the nearest town, St Jean Pied de Port. Very well appointed house. We loved it. There is no WiFi, but we had no trouble in contacting anyone via our phones. Highly recommended.
