A lovely little cottage on a working family farm overlooking tree-covered mountains in the heart of Spanish Basque country. Just big enough for a family of four (pull-out couch for the kids), with well-equipped with small, functional kitchen (fridge, sink, stove, pots, pans, espresso maker, plates/bowls/cutlery) and even a small clothes washer. Outdoor space is relaxing and refreshing, with patio, chairs, table, and amazing view of mountains and countryside. Two friendly and loveable dogs were a delight (especially for our kids), and feeding the pony hay was a special bonus.
Although initially finding the house was a little challenging (owner helped with introductory email including directions and specific mile-markers), we found the location to be ideal. 1hr from San Sebastian, 1hr from Bilbao, 1 hr from the sanctuary at Gaztelugatxe, 10 min from the quaint whaling town of Likeitio, and about 4.5hrs from Madrid.
The owners were friendly, helpful, and generous with their time (and even fresh peas from their organic garden!).
Wonderful place to get away from crowds, enjoy the countryside, and see Basque country.
