This property worked out well for our large group, with 2 cars, and a lot of planned day-trips, but it is not for everyone.I will list the pros and cons:
Pros:
Good for large group of 8-9
Close to San Sebastian--an amazing city!
Nearby Pasaia also has a lot of amenities
Kind and helpful host
Scenic location
Historic, Basque farmhouse
Fun to play with chickens and kittens
Cons:
Steep, poorly maintained access road makes it a hassle to come and go.
You definitely need a car, ideally with 4WD, and decent driving skills.
Walking to and from Pasaia would probably take an hour due to hill, and would be a muddy hike.
Not as quiet as I'd hoped: the host has a second guest property, and his own dwelling upstairs, so there is a LOT is noise at all hours of the night. Also a lot of noise and weird smells from port and surrounding industry. Not the quiet rural retreat I was hoping for.
