Home management is handled by a separate company with friendly and helpful staff (they validated early arrival and late departure in agreement with owner for example). But we also had the opportunity to briefly meet the owner (and her colorfull father as well).
House is located very close to the center of the Ascain village (remember this is rather country side ; not too far away but going to the beach will take a bit of time and will depend on traffic). So it is quite easy to do some errants (bakery, grocery store, restaurants, wine cellar, butchery, etc. are nearby at walking distance).
House is huge with bathrooms on all bedrooms (almost all feel like parental suites). Decoration is wonderfully done, preserving the old style of this ancient building (which has been very recently renovated with much taste) mixed with more modern brand new touches
(appliances, bathrooms, kids friendly home cinema room, furnitures and pictures). Basically, if you liked the pictures on the website... you will love the reality: it looks even better onsite !!!
On top of that many extras are provided to help make the stay a fun one for everybody: piano, bycicle, table tennis, pala rackets, petanque set, etc. The garden is huge, which is great for kids, the view on the nearby mountain (Rhune) is fascinating, which is terrific for outside drinks or dining and the pool can be covered for safety, which is reassuring if you have a baby or a toddler wandering around.

So overall a wonderful stay in this house which can contain and entertain a very large group or familly, in style and in a quiet environment.
