This is a lovely farmhouse in a very peaceful setting with fantastic mountain views and only the sound of cowbells from the horses below the garden. It is very tastefully decorated inside and had everything we needed for our family of five, including garden furniture and a BBQ. It is in a great location for visiting the cities of Bilbao, San Sebastián and Vitoria-Gasteiz as well as the coastal villages and beaches. We particularly enjoyed Laga beach for the waves and Kasparrio beach at Lekeitio for the amenities and cafe bar. Our only criticism would be that although the local towns have supermarkets and shops they are not very inspiring . Merxte was a brilliant host, very good at communicating and even cleared her garage so we could store our bikes. I would recommend this house as a good base to explore the Basque area.
