Aia (Aya) is a great base for exploring the Basque Country from Bilbao to Biarritz. The house is in the mountains, with a beautiful view of surrounding hills and the ocean in the distance. Elena, the owner, was very easy to communicate with - she met us at the house and explained everything and provided information about local events and activities (which were the favorite part of our kids' experience). We also appreciated having the basic necessities in the kitchen and bathrooms. The house is quiet and private, yet within walking distance to Aia, which has a small supermarket and a few restaurants. We were a family of six (2 grandparents + 2 adults + 2 children), and the house worked well for our one week stay. It was clean and comfortable and is certainly recommended. Thank you Elena!
