Gorgeous house. Nice people. Very interesting location. Stairs a little bit of a challenge but perfect for the young and fit.

Underwhelming, take note
If you come expecting to be disappointed you will have your wish granted. Extremely basic place. No food available on 7pm arrival, have to pre-order - wish we had been told! No kettle or ability to have hot drink. Rickety old small double bed with 'U' shaped mattress, It was also real fun to listen to upstair's guests and their 3 year old running around and chatting/singing at 11pm. Breakfast started at 8-30am - new meaning to 'up with the larks'and our first chance of a hot drink - was an interesting revelation, not surprising that locals are skinny!

Great house, not so great service
Gorgeous old house and beautifully decorated, however the positives end there. Arrived after 7pm tired, thirsty and hungry but were told we were not able to have dinner at the hotel restaurant as we did not prebook it (had we known, we would have). We were only offered tap water from the bathroom sink, or to buy a bottle of their wine, and though the owner claimed in such a small town nothing was open that late on a Sunday, we were delighted to find a cafe less than a kilometre from the hotel with lovely regional food and friendly locals. Back to the hotel: the ceiling beams in the room need dusting of spider webs and the moldy shower curtain needs changing. There is no ventilation in the room even with windows open - which invites an army of flies into your room. Why not provide a fan? No soundproofing so be prepared to hear your neighbours. Breakfast was a huge disappointment. I would be embarrassed to serve it to my customers. A few slices of cheese and ham were offered to share between 5 or 6 tables, and tostadas made from stale bread were brought to our table. There was fresh orange juice and coffee though, and fruit/yogurt/cereal etc. so we didn't starve but expected so much more from such a highly rated hotel. Would NOT go back.

Pleasant stay
No aircon so they kindly changed our room to one with a balcony as skylight would not open properly. House is beautiful and so is the setting, breakfast cereal options are coco pops corn flakes or biscuits, slightly limited.

We spent a very enjoyable three days in this lovely house as we toured this lovely region. The hosts were extremely welcoming and helpful. The atmosphere was very relaxed - just like a home from home.

The best stay experience during my Spain travels
I can not say enough about this charming b & b. the owner and inn keeper was super sweet although he didn't speak much english. The hotel was off the beatin path but well worth the trip. The house and grounds had so much character that I couldn't leave. He also cooks dinner and breakfast. I really wish I would have stayed for dinner (other guest said was amazing) but the breakfast was very nice. The value was exceptional. The rooms very nice, large, great character but all the modern expectations (no television but please too many other less stressful things to look at). Super comfortable bed. The back yard and other seating areas out back were so nice, peaceful and relaxing.

Gem of a hotel
This hotel retains all it's antique rustic authenticity from floor boards to window shutters. Situated in a pass through the Pyrenees the surrounding scenery was breath-taking. The dinner - a five course mystery tour - was exceptional. All in all a most wonderful experience. Highly recommended.

Gorgeous hidden getaway
Having read previous reviews, we knew that the owner spoke almost no English. Despite this, we managed to communicate quite well. The house is extremely charming and rustic, with heaps of character. There's a lovely garden to sit in, and you can buy local wines for very very reasonable prices. The room was very comfortable and very charming. A basic breakfast is provided in the morning, where we drank the best orange juice either of us have ever tasted!

Prestation acceptable. Sans plus. La bâtisse est jolie mais il y avait des toiles d’araignée au plafond… Quasiment pas de personnel (2) et 1 sur 2 était très rêche ne cause aucune langue. Petit dej très basique. Et pas d’autre service C’est plus une auberge qu’un hôtel. Et si le personnel était plus accueillant ce serait nettement mieux

Ich freute mich sehr aus das kleine Hotel. Anscheindend kam ich zur falschen Zeit an. Keiner war da, das Haus stand offen und so wartete ich bis die Siasta vorbei war. Da ich der einzige Gast war, musste ich mein Dinner an einem anderen fragwürdigen Ort einnehmen. Auf der Buchungsseite würde der Vermerk "Essen nur auf Voranmeldung" passen. Die Einrichtung ist mit sehr viel Liebe gemacht und der Gastgeber spricht Spanisch oder Katelanisch. Ich leider nicht, das ist aber mein Problem und nicht das des Hotel.

Klimatyczne miejsce w pobliżu San Sebastian
Fantastyczne miejsce z klimatem, odnowiony stary budynek z XVII w. czuć tą historię. Proste, smaczne śniadanie, super ogród za budynkiem. Właściciele bardzo sympatyczni. Wyposażenie skromne (brak tv, internet słaby, pokoje nie za duże) ale dzięki temu można wypocząć.

Rustic house, excellent food
This is one of those places you will remember for a long time. Hidden away, about 40 minutes drive from San Sebastian, in a small village with sheep grazing on the hillside and more or less nothing else, we did not know what to expect. We were graciouslyu greeted by the hostess and taken to our room on the third floor, quite steep steps. The building is from 1634 and has been carefully renovated, but it has all the features of a very old house, creaking floors, not a straight line anywhere, oak beams, small windows. Quite lovely in my opinion. We asked about dinner and to our dismay were told it must be ordered in advance which we had not. The hostess went to ask if he could manage two more guests, which he could and what a meal we had! Delicious 5-course menu, extremely well-prepared so don't forget to book that as well when you book your room. There is apparently a restaurant about 1 km from the hotel, but we did not look for it so have no idea what they serve or if it is any good. If we had not been able to have dinner, my rating would have been lower, but now that we did have it, we had nothing to complain about!

Hotel authentique et au calme.
Un hôtel charmant authentique et un personnel d'une grande amabilité, très bonne adresse pour ceux qui recherche du calme dans un paysage authentique. seul bémol lors de notre séjour, Un voisin espagnol du dessus très bruyant avec une isolation phonique quasi inexistante. Prendre la chambre du dernier étage de préférence.

Una experiencia única en un ambiente único. Una casa del siglo XVII, reformada, pero con un encanto muy especial. Lo recomendamos al 100% si están por la zona. Si estás muchos días se hace un poco repetitivo el desayuno. Juanjo y Idoia son muy agradables y está para todo lo que necesites.

Calme, charme, authenticité et poésie...
Séjour de charme en un lieu authentique chargé d'histoire et de poésie. Au-delà de l'admirable décor et des senteurs florales, l'auberge centenaire exal(t)e les valeurs du terroir où s'accordent les couleurs apaisantes, la chaleur du bois, l'élégance de la pierre, et la délicatesse des draps brodés. Le jardin invite au repos, à la lecture, au recueillement au bord de l'eau... Pour tout dire, nous avons ADORE !

Oh... The 5-course dinner! :)
Stayed for a few nights at this great place. Very nice, authentic house from the 17th century. Unfortunately the weather wasn't all that good, so it was a bit cold in the house. The service was very good, even though the owner Juanjo didn't speak so much English, however he had a lovely helper who spoke very well and were usually around if we needed translation. The dinner was made from heaven, 5-course suprise menu with locally grown food. Should not be missed!

Nous y retournerons c'est sur !
4 nuits passées et trois repas du soir pris. L'établissement est très calme et propre. Les propriétaires sont adorables et bien qu'ils ne parlent pas le Français ils ont été de très bons conseils. Le propriétaire est un fin cuisinier et si vous dormez sur place profitez de la table d'hôte c'est à tomber par terre (2 entrées, un plat poisson, un plat viande, et un dessert le tout cuisiné avec des produits du terroir et servi tel un resto 4 étoiles : le tout pour 23 €)
