We had a wonderful week in the Basque region, thanks to this marvelous property with a stunning view of the ocean around Getaria!
The house is appointed with great taste (decoration, furniture, linen, kitchen, lawn furniture, etc), is roomy, and the beds are very comfortable! Each couple (3) had his own private bathroom, and the common areas (upstairs and downstairs) are spacious with gorgeous views, especially from the balcony where we had breakfast and lunch on several occasions.
The house is located next to the famous Camino De Santiago trail with access to spectacular trekking, and is only a 10 minutes drive from Getaria, which offers excellent choices of dinning experiences, hosts the fascinating Balenciaga Museum, and has a very charming atmosphere!
From Getaria, we were able to explore the Spanish Basque Country (to and from San Sebastian and Bilbao), and we drove to Biarritz on the French Basque Country side. All very easy driving distances (an hour or so)!
We are very grateful to Amaia (property owner) for her warm welcome and for her efficient assistance in scheduling for us a delicious private "Basque" dinner at the house prepared by a local chef, as well as for arranging a wine and tasting tour of a local winery nearby (walking distance)!
Thanks Amaia and Aberri for opening your house, and for making our Basque Country experience a very memorable one!
