    A rare and exceptional place.

    Everything is in place for a wonderful stay. The location is perfect, perched on a hill with a beautiful view, surrounded by countryside with birdsong and close to hiking trails.
    The house boasts a large terrace where you can enjoy breakfast overlooking the ocean.
    Inside, it's brand new, cozy, and spotlessly clean. In addition to being well-equipped, the house is filled with thoughtful touches and thoughtful details, even those you wouldn't have thought of. Plus, there are welcome gifts.

    And the best for last: Nadia, kindness personified, a truly lovely hostess.

    A lovely apartment on a beautiful location. Living up in the hills close by Hondarribia, its beach and lively streets, is really an asset. Nadia and her husband were really friendly and very helpful. We will be back!

  • Miranda

    Beautiful, clean, and fully equipped apartment. Also nice are the outdoor table and 2 sunbeds. It is wonderfully quiet, yet a short distance from Hondarribia.

    Nadia gave good tips regarding shops, bus transport, and restaurants, and is very friendly without being pushy.
    It is a highly recommended accommodation in the beautiful Basque Country!

    We spent four nights in June
    in the two-room apartment in a passive house. Despite the high temperatures, it was quite cool inside.

    It was very clean, practical, and comfortably furnished. The small terrace with its view of the countryside and the sea was lovely.

    Nadja is an excellent host and gave us a very warm welcome with lots of interesting information.

    We felt very comfortable and highly recommend this accommodation!

    A very quiet place to relax, with very friendly and nice hosts. The old town of Hondarribia is just a few minutes' drive away. Great hiking opportunities directly from the accommodation to the coast.

    We had a wonderful 2 weeks in this spotlessly clean, well equipped ,modern apartment set in a peaceful rural area with fabulous views and safe parking for bikes and cars. The location is perfect as it only a 5 minute drive from Hondarriba, a vibrant beautiful old town with all the services and a fabulous beach. There are many walks and cycling routes accessible from the door. The passivhaus system meant that even in 35 degrees our room was a constant comfortable 22 degrees.
    Nadia and her partner were fantastic and provided information about restaurants and places to visit within a short driving distance . Especially helpful was their advice on cycling and directions to get to starting points on greenways. Last but not least Nadia kindly looked in on our elderly dog when we went out, she even took her for short walks. I cannot recommend this place highly enough and we hope to return soon.

    It was a perfect week! The apartment is brand new, very bright, and tastefully renovated. Everything is well thought out, there's plenty of storage space, and the furnishings are very high quality, including great mattresses and bedding, and super fluffy towels. Thanks to the passive house standard, a perfect indoor climate is guaranteed; even on hot days, the temperature remained constant. The shaded terrace with its fantastic view is a dream. Furthermore, the apartment is ideally located between the mountains and the sea, with great hiking trails starting right from the doorstep. If you stock up on groceries in the town below and fire up the grill in the evenings, you can even leave the car parked. Our dog was also warmly welcomed. Our special thanks go to Nadia, an excellent and welcoming host. Thank you so much for a perfect week's vacation! We felt right at home!
