Beautiful Home with Gracious Host

This was a perfect home for our group of 6 (2 young children, 2 parents, and 2 grandparents) tucked away in the hills. It was conveniently located for day trips in the surrounding area. We spent wonderful afternoons lounging in the yard reading and watching the horses graze in the pasture right below us. Great kitchen, comfortable beds, and pleasant rooms for relaxing and visiting. The drive up the narrow road leading to the home seemed surreal. Couldn’t recommend the place more.

Quintessential European country home

This is a wonderful property! The renovation of the old house is very well done. The property and the views are beautiful! They host was very nice and very helpful. This is a great central location to travel from to access the Basque country. About an hour from Bilbao, 90 minutes to San Sebastian, 45 minutes to Urkiola and 2 hours to La Rioja. It was great to come back after a bury day and simply enjoy the quiet and beauty of the country side. It is a little tricky to find, but Google maps got us there as long as you follow the directions exactly! We would go back to this place in a heart beat!!

Great location - spectacular views,

As a family of 6 we had a great week staying in this wonderful traditional farmhouse that has been beautifully renovated. The views from the terrace are spectacular. A quiet country location in the hills but with easy close access to the Ap 8 motorway providing quick access to cities, towns and the beaches. We really enjoyed visiting San Sebastian (using the park and ride) Bergara, Onati and the Sanctuary at Arantzazu and also would recommend the Flyche walk from Deba to Zumaia. We particularly liked the beach and the bars in Zumaia and the beach at Lekeitio. As the house is an old farmhouse one of our party did occasionally suffer with asthma. Mertxe our host was very helpful.

Spectacular views with many great walks and hikes

This is a lovely property tucked into the Basque countryside. The views from the house are spectacular and there are many great walks and hikes in the surrounding area. The house is very comfortable with a kitchen that is fully equipped. Our family of six was very well accommodated for our week stay. Good directions are needed to find the house as this area of the Basque countryside was not entirely on the GPS. Nevertheless, once the route to and from the house is known, AP8 is easily accessed through the town of Ermua, making visiting Bilbao, Guernica, the Urdaibai Nature preserve, the medieval town of Oñati, the Sanctuary of Arántzazu, the caves of Araotz or the San Sebastian area very accessible.

Absolutely gorgeous property! A peaceful inspiring location!

There were four of us touring Spain and Portugal. Kind of a busy hectic schedule. The farmhouse was chosen because it was halfway between Bilbao and San Sebastián and looked very picturesque. We were all blown away by the beauty of the setting, the friendliness of Mertxe and her husband, and the comfort of the farmhouse😍. We loved it! We ate twice at a nearby restaurant - Trabaku Goiko Taberna - fabulous food and wine and delightful hospitality. Would highly recommend the farmhouse and the restaurant!

Horses

There were many things we liked. First of all the view of the mountains, which changed many times during the day. Then of course the horses, which announced themselves by the bell of their chief. The horses were fond of pears and came by several times a day, to check if any pears had fallen down from the trees. Some of them even succeeded in shaking the trees, to make the pears fall. Clever animals. Other animals we liked were the four donkeys, a little bit down the road. One of them had such a wise and thoughtful glance, that we will never again believe that donkeys are stupid. Then, is the farm like paradise? In paradise the furniture is more comfortable, we guess, and the kitchen a little bit better equipped. But not the less, we give 5 stars.

Très beau logement, cadre idéal

Nous avons passé un très bon séjour dans ce beau logement en pleine campagne, mais pas isolé car il y a des maisons à proximité. Bel espace extérieur avec une superbe vue sur les collines aux alentours. Le matin, nous avions la visite de chevaux dans le verger en dessous de la maison. Très bon accueil de Mertxe, qui est très sympathique. En conclusion logement confortable et agréable, dans un environnement calme. Je conseille pour vos prochaines vacances.

Simplemente magnífica. La casa perfecta, mezcla lo rural del diseño, con modernidad en el interior, sin faltar ninguna prestación. Lo mejor, las vistas desde el jardín, sensacionales, como estar en plena montaña. Nuestras hijas de 20 años, que buscaban relajación y contemplación, llegaron a decir, lo mejor del viaje a Euskadi, la casa, con esto está todo dicho. Y mira que Euskadi es una maravilla.

Superbe ancienne ferme, toute de pierres et de bois avec une belle terrasse et une vue formidable. L'organisation des pièces peut ne paraitre pas forcément très pratique à l'heure actuelle, mais elle suit la structure du bâtiment comme autrefois. L'aménagement intérieur est très bien fait apporte toute la modernité d'aujourd'hui dans cette très belle bâtisse ancienne. Nous y avons passé vraiment un très agréable séjour. Pour finir la position géographique pourrait paraitre un peu "loin de tout", mais en fait, c'est finalement à 40 min environ à la fois de San Sebastian et de Bilbao, donc plutôt pratique !

Gewoonweg heerlijk vertoeven!

Dit verblijf is zondermeer een topper. Alleen al het unieke berglandschap is genieten. Het huis is ruim, gerieflijk en heeft karakter. Het enige "minpuntje" zou je de niet evidente toegangsweg kunnen noemen, maar dat wordt dan weer ruim gecompenseerd door de "wilde" paarde als buren. De gastvrouw is attent, bereikbaar en behulpzaam. Het is gewoonweg heerlijk vertoeven. Bert

Mertxes Ferienhaus ist wunderschön mitten in der Natur gelegen mit Blick auf die Berge und herrliche Walnussbäume. Das Haus bietet viel Platz mit einer großen, super ausgestatteten Küche, einem gemütlichen Kaminzimmer, einer wohnlichen Einrichtung und einem hübschen Garten. Wir haben dort zu viert eine wunderbare Woche verbracht und uns rundum wohl gefühlt. Die Gegend ist toll zum Wandern und auch interessante Städte wie Bilbao, Gernika und Vitoria sind nicht weit entfernt.

Vrijstaand gerenoveerd huis van alle gemakken voorzien, zeer rustig gelegen.

Plezierig verblijf op het platteland in Baskenland. Een auto is noodzakelijk vanwege de vele kronkelige en smalle wegen. Er kan in de regio goed gewandeld worden, maar het kost veel zoekwerk om de paden te vinden. De tijden van de dag waarnaar de bevolking leeft wijken nogal af van de onze. Voorbeeld: Een oude (klooster)kerk is wel open, maar van twaalf tot vier dicht. Dan ga je kijken op maandag en dat blijkt dan een rustdag te zijn. Restaurants idem, totdat het tot je doordringt dat men van twaalf tot drie eet en niet 's avonds. Toch is onze vakantie een plezierige tijd geweest, mede door de benaderbaarheid van de eigenaar via whatsapp in het engels waardoor er goede vragen gesteld en antwoorden gekregen werden. Hou er rekening mee dat men overwegend Baskisch spreekt en niet altijd Spaans, laat staan een taal als Frans Duits of Engels. Overigens is men zeer vriendelijk en met handen en voeten kun je vaak uitduiden wat de bedoeling is. Bovenstaande komt mogelijk wat kritisch over. Daarom nog wat over de grotere steden als Bilbao en Vitorio: Druk, wel goed bereikbaar met een oud centrum en erg gezellig want iedereen is op straat.

Altes Bauernhaus in wunderschöner Gegend

Das wunderschöne Haus liegt sehr ruhig, aber sehr verkehrsgünstig zur Autobahn. Die Terrasse und der Garten sind gepflegt, es gibt schattenspendende Bäume und einen atemberaubenden Fernblick. Abends ist der Kamin ein Highlight, Holz ist vorhanden. Die Küche ist modern und mit allem ausgestattet, das man braucht. Mertxe ist sehr freundlich, spricht gut Englisch und hilft in allen Lebenslagen! Danke Mertxe! Das Haus ist uneingeschränkt für Familienurlaub zu empfehlen, sonst ist es vielleicht ein wenig zu hellhörig.
