Etxalar House | A beautiful house in the Basque Country

3 Bedroom House in Etxalar

New detached traditional Basque-style house overlooking the village of Etxalar, a well-preserved picturesque typical Basque village. Set in 9,000m2 of land. Breathtaking views and the perfect place to use as a base to explore the area and to completely unwind.
We have wifi throughout the house.
Just recently in late 2022 access to the property has been dramatically improved after the completion of a cemented road direct to the property allowing easy vehicular access throughout the year.
Downstairs: open-plan living area and kitchen with all mod cons. Toilet and cloakroom.
Lots of comfortable seats and sofa, smart TV, open fire with firewood. Really cosy and a great place to relax and unwind. Kitchen has all the mod cons to cook big meals. Big dining table and doors onto a large terrace balcony and garden.
Upstairs: three double bedrooms, one with en suite bathroom and terrace. Can sleep up to six adults. Bathroom with bath.
Bedroom 1: wonderful huge room with office area, large double bed, two balconies. Can be used as an extra sitting room.
Bedroom 2: access to the shared balcony. Double bed.
Bedroom 3: twin room, with its own ensuite bathroom and terrace.
Both the ensuite bathroom and family bathroom have bath, shower, toilet.
Outside: The property benefits from a gorgeous south facing balcony/terrace. BBQ, sun loungers, large table and chairs, parasols. We have an outside shower fed by a natural spring which runs continuously throughout the year.
There are multiple mountain paths taking you down to the village in about 10 minutes - all downhill on the way there (so quite steep on the way back!). The house is just over 3 km from the GR11 and 10 km from the GR10 walking route that crosses the Pyrenees.
If you wish to bring a pet please inquire first. Also bear in mind that there is livestock in the fields around the house, and that the garden is not fenced in.
The host lives near the house and is around to help. Part of the property's charm is that it is slightly off the beaten track. As a result we always arrange to meet guests in the village
to show them the way.
Location:
In the Pyrenees mountains, in an area of outstanding natural beauty. Ideal for walking, riding, skiing, rafting, canoeing etc, to name but a few of the activities available.
20km from the coast and very fine beaches. Perfect for watersports, surfing, diving, sailing, fishing etc. Safe, clean beaches perfect for children and sunbathing - Hendaye beach is ideal for families.
There are many interesting towns and villages in the area including San Sebastian, Pamplona (with its bull runs), and Hondarribia in Spain. Biarritz, St Jean de Luz and Hendaye in France.
Very near the French border (8km) and TGV train station in Hendaye, with Eurostar connection in Paris.

Summary: We had a lovely week staying in this house. The host Beki was very welcoming, met us in the village to guide us to the house and gave us a tour and information about the house, appliances and garden. She also gave us some recommendations of places to visit and great restaurants in the surrounding area. It was also good to know she was only a message away, should we need anything (which we didn't). We found the house to be well-equipped with everything we needed for a weeklong stay. It was clean and spacious! It's in a high up position above the village so we had excellent views looking over the village and surrounding landscape. It's also well connected with nature - in the evenings we loved sitting on the balcony watching the red squirrels in the trees and listening to the tinkling of bells of nearby animals.

Summary: We had a wonderful stay in this rural Basque house. It was clean, spacious and well equipt. Amazing views across to Etxalar. The garden was a little over grown. We enjoyed the short steep walk into town to the bars and shops. Access to the property by car was a little challenging and not for the nervious driver. We would throughly recommend this property.

Summary: This self built house is absolutely stunning. We had a great stay for 6 nights in this big house on the hill and we were lucky with the weather too. There are many possible daytrips in the neighborhood (San Sebastian, Hendaye, Hondaribbia, St-Jean de luz, Pamplona , Passai de donibane) and Etxalar itself is a little beautiful town as well, so we could have stay longer than 6 nights but we had to move on to our next stop . The morning and evening view from the terrace is relaxing. Host Beki is a very nice person and was very helpful, she helped with diner reservation and we may use her parking badge for the busy coast town Hendaye. If you book this house, you won't regret it and will have beautiful memories for many years.

Summary: In a little known corner of the Bask country, perfectly located between San Sebastien and Biaritz. Wonderful house, gorgeous panorama, with its own source. The host, Beki was extremely helpful and had everything just like as it is promised on the web. Deep in the countryside a perfect place to relax and enjoy the mountains or the sea. Would highly recommend the house to anyone who likes to relax a bit out of the usual tourist places.

Summary: The only thing that could have been better was the weather, but in May it can be a challenge almost anywhere. However, we still managed to do some hiking, spent time in the wonderful town of Etxalar, enjoyed the local restaurant/bar/bakery, enjoyed the local people very much, as well as the farm / countryside life, taking in the wonderful drives to St.Jean de Luz in France, San Sebastian, etc.. It was a wonderful stay and Beki was a 'peach' and most helpful.

Summary: We had wonderful holidays in his nice house. We liked the big and cosy house, with everything in you need. The terrace, the water for playing and the surrounding were lovely! The balcony is so nice to play and to sit! We also liked the bells ringing from the pony, coming up every day. We liked walking down to the village on the path to get baguettes. Beki was a really nice host who cared about us in a good way. The house is in the mountains and you have to drive carefully sometimes-for us is wasnt a problem. Thanks a lot for the great holidays in the mountains near the sea!!!!

Summary: Easy access to San Sebastián, Biarritz etc but tucked away in the heart of Basque with just fantastic views. BBQ's and Spotify streaming are a must for our family. Just the job as no neighbours to worry about. To be fair Beki is a kind of neighbour and was always on hand to help. The drive to the property is an experience but you can't get views without going up a bit. The only niggle was with being 6'3" the 4'6" bed was cosy. Would definitely go back.

Summary: The home was beautiful and in a wonderful spot in the hills above Etxalar. Beki, who lives nearby,was very helpful and took care of all our needs. I can't think of a better spot to stay in northern Basque Country. Etxalar is a lovely town and quite near to many mountain hikes, villiages and sea shore towns like San Sebastián and St Jean De Luz. We spent 10 days and hope to return.
