House in the valley of Arratia. Near Bilbao, San Sebastian, Vitoria and Pamplona

A beautiful traditional Basque house in lovely gardens and with spectacular views across the valley. The house was well and thoughtfully equipped and very comfortable. It was in the countryside without being remote, peaceful yet only 10 minutes from the nearest village. We loved watching the views across the valley and exploring nearby countryside, and were delighted to discover a top-class restaurant only 10 minutes walk up the hill! We were able to visit the lovely coast, Guernika, Vittoria, Bilbao and the Rioja area very easily from the accommodation as well as more local outings seeing the beautiful wild flowers and birds round about. Well recommended.

I cannot praise this Casa Rural enough. It was a great place, clean, spacious with everything we needed in place.The property itself is wonderful and I would recommend it to anybody.

Beautiful house set in lovely gardens with stunning views of the hills and village below. The house was spotlessly clean with all the facilities we needed to make our stay so comfortable. 35 minute drive to Bilbao and just over an hour to San Sebastián and easy access to vineyards in the Rioja region. Mikel is a wonderful host giving us clear directions and getting us back in quickly when we managed to lock ourselves out.We hope to stay here again.

The house is in beautiful condition, clean and is clearly lovingly taken care of by Mikel. Mikels father Patxo and friend Andere met us on arrival, being kind enough to wait an extra hour as we were delayed on the road. They gave us a thourough run through of the property which enabled us to take full advantage of all the neat comforts the house has, as well as providing some very good recommendations for exploring the Basque mountains and surrounding areas.Overall a very good host and excellent property - the view is simply breathtaking. We would not hesitate to return in the future.
