We had a wonderful stay at Mimi and Pascal’s place in Irouleguy. The location is both very convenient (at an hour from Biarritz and 15 minutes from the Spanish border) and incredibly scenic. From your bedroom window, you’ll have a view stretching for seemingly hundreds of kilometers obstructed only by well-fed cows, sheep and the occasional semi-wild horse. Not too shabby. :-)
The house is an enormous wonderful traditional basque home that has been renovated with a great deal of taste and restraint. The guest rooms are impeccably clean, large and the beds super comfortable. So are the modern bathrooms, complete with high pressured rain shower.
The hosts, Mimi and Pascal, are a super fun pair that will welcome you with a quirky mix of Basque and American generosity, delicious homemade breakfast included! We wish we would have stayed longer. Plenty of excellent restaurants and walks to choose from close by.
Book at least two nights.
