We had such a wonderful stay at Iñaki's villa in Bakio! He and his mother were so kind and accommodating towards us, treating us like family. Iñaki let us check in really late, leaving us with enough time to explore Bilbao on our way from La Rioja. He gave us excellent suggestions, and helped us with everything we needed during our stay. His mother is amazing: a pure soul! And we loved his little dog, Soru, who just wants to play with "la pelota" all the time. The house is tranquil, regal, spacious, and right by the beach. We felt at peace there. Be sure to visit San Juan de Gaztelugatxe - absolutely spectacular. La Parra (one of Iñaki's recommendations) is great for dinner, and very accommodating towards vegetarians/vegans. All in all, we had a perfect time in Bakio, and will be back.
