Editorial
Hotel overview
Set inside a traditional 18th-century Basque villa, this refined 4-star property offers a cozy, welcoming atmosphere just minutes from the ocean. Guests appreciate the blend of vintage charm with modern comforts such as free Wi-Fi and an outdoor swimming pool nestled in lush gardens. The absence of air conditioning is balanced by the villa’s classic architecture and the mild coastal climate.
The property is particularly suitable for travelers seeking a quiet retreat close to natural attractions. Families and pet owners feel at ease thanks to kid-friendly spaces and a pet-friendly attitude. Located in Guéthary, a scenic village known for its seaside promenade and nearby surf spots, the hotel acts as a calm base for exploring the Basque coast.
Parking is free and convenient, easing travel by car. Breakfast service provides a pleasant start to the day, while the lack of fitness facilities and airport shuttle can prompt guests to plan accordingly. The local character and proximity to seaside landmarks create a genuine local stay experience.

What travelers say
A snapshot of guest ratings and stories behind the stay.
“We shared a third story apartment for one night and it was amazing. The concierge waited for us to arrive very late into the night and he was very welcoming and friendly. I wish my girlfriend and I got a photo with him but we forgot. we will most definitely be coming back! Breakfast was fantastic, the town was beautiful and a the inn was only a minute walk away from the beach. Our short stay here has solidified Guethary as our favorite coastal destination.”
