Thanks to Phil and Momo the donkey we (2 adults, 2 kids) had a wonderful 2 night stay in Elortza! The house is indeed a typical Basque farm house, old but with a lot of character. The rooms, situated on the second floor were nice and spacious. The bathroom and toilet on the first floor are shared with the owner, but for us that did not cause any problems.
The communal kitchen downstairs is cosy and home-like and there is everything you need to cook a meal with eggs and veggies from the garden.
To discover the area, the only thing you have to do is listen to Phil's instructions, as he has an enormous knowledge about the local history, culture and nature. We enjoyed it very much to take the donkey for a walk to the caves and to have a beer at the local pub.
Thanks Phil for a wonderful stay, hopefully we will able to come back one day soon!
