Marie's place is one of the most lovely cotages I have ever been to in an absolute privacy of Basque hills, with stunning views. She restored an old sheep shed and turned it into amazing little hut where you have everything you need. We stayed with with my partner and one 9 year old nad one 4 moths old, who slept in the bad with us. The place is perfect for a family of four. There is a lovely fireplace inside that we used a lot, since there was enough wood prepared to survive the whole winter. We celebrated christmas there and even got a real christmas tree and decorated the place so that it looked like from fairy-tale. The kitchen has everything you need to.. salt, pepper, oil, beens, all the essentials necessary. The only thing we had to bring were towels and sheets but Marie provides them for additional price too.
In the nice mornings the mist in the valley makes it look like a big lake from above, the views are just stunning. We did some hikes around, that were possible even with the baby stroller as all the roads are in good enough conditions. The city bellow is also lovely an has everything you need and more.
We want to come back in the summer, for sure!
