Cristina was very helpful and accommodating in making arrangements. Sadly we didn't meet her in person but her brother greeted us and was charming and very helpful. Questions and advice were rapidly answered and provided via email. The house is spacious, clean and well equipped and the garden stunningly beautiful. Ascain is very accessible via the adjacent D4 with good local stores and restaurants. The house position is ideal for exploring the Basque country, St Jean de Luz, Biarritz and San Sebastian and many other delightful villages and towns with regular markets and individual charms. A wonderful week- thank you to Cristina and her brother.
