Very Clean and Comfortable

A Hidden Gem of Refined Tranquility in the Basque Countryside We spent three nights at Iriarte Jauregia and left feeling deeply rested and thoroughly impressed. This beautifully restored 17th-century stone palace is nestled in the heart of the Basque countryside — a tranquil, elegant haven for those seeking to slow down and savour the finer things. Though the location is relatively isolated, that’s part of its charm. Our deluxe double room looked out across green paddocks dotted with cows and their new spring calves — a peaceful, grounding view that set the tone for each day. The interiors are exquisitely curated, with every detail carefully thought through. You can feel the love and intention behind the design — refined yet welcoming. The service was exceptional. Staff were warm and genuinely helpful, and we especially appreciated seeing the owner at breakfast each morning — his quiet pride in what he’s created is well deserved. Breakfast itself was excellent — fresh, generous, and homemade. We dined in the hotel’s bistro one night, and while the meal was pleasant, we felt it could have been a little more generous but may well have been what we ordered. That said, we are fairly discerning diners, and we still appreciated the wonderful service. For those looking to indulge further, the hotel also offers a small degustation restaurant on-site which we perhaps should have chosen instead. Iriarte Jauregia is an ideal spot for couples, design lovers, or foodies looking for a restorative escape. It’s also within easy driving distance of San Sebastián and Bilbao, making it a perfect base to explore the region while returning to the calm and comfort of the countryside. A truly special place — we loved every moment and one of our favourites during our five week holiday.

The hotel is a basque traditional structure worth to visit not onfly for the large rooms and the exceptional and abundant breskfasts but overall for the kindness of mrs Maria, the madame who has been running the hotel for the last 52 years and is now helped by her son and doughter. She is also the cook of extraordinary suppers you can have in the hotel restaurant. The kindness of this family is the ingredient that will make your trip great!

The hotel is not that impressive from the outside but wow - the inside is amazing. The attention to detail is special. Our trip included 6 nights in Paradores and this place knocked the socks off most of them.

Everything. Location. Room. Facilities. Host.

Cozy room, had a balcony with a table where we had snacks enjoying the view. Special spot to wake up with birds singing. Room had all amenities. The pre arrival instructions received were spot on and great for self check in.

A very secluded, peaceful campsite. We were delayed on our journey, but we notified the site and someone stayed late to check us in.

Beautiful clean, modern, spacious apartment. Stunning views from the balcony. Peaceful location. Comfortable beds and good/helpful communications with staff.

Everything was spotless and we are very satisfied with our stay! This hotel had it all, great restaurant, petrol and it’s just off the highway for us to quickly get back in the road in the morning! Dogfriendly which is a must for us as we travel with our 2 dogs.

Our stay at the other hotel was fantastic. The gentleman at the reception was very kind to welcome us even though we arrived later than the check-in time due to a travel delay. The room itself was stunning, with plenty of space, impeccable cleanliness, and a stunning view. The bathroom was also spacious and elegantly designed. Moreover, the hotel's location was perfect for us as it was only a 2-minute walk away from the sanctuary, making it convenient for us to explore the surrounding areas. Overall, we had a wonderful stay at this hotel and would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a comfortable and memorable experience.
