A good well-equipped apartment with helpful but not intrusive hosts.

My husband and I stayed in this lovely 2 bedroom flat in early October 22. It is completely separate from the owner's home and perhaps the most immaculate, well equipped place we have ever stayed anywhere. The place feels brand new. We used it as a home base to explore all the quaint Basque towns around the countryside. Close to towns and markets. While we had great cell service here, we essentially had no WIFI for the duration. The service in their home does not adequately extent to the unit and we just gave up. If you need WIFI, talk to the owner before booking. Otherwise, a perfect stay!

The good: a clean and spacious gite with decent facilities and use of a lovely pool. Located near the end of a quiet cul-de-sac, a couple of miles from the N918 and ten minutes from St Jean de Luz. The outside space is sufficient with chairs and loungers. In the garage are bikes available for tenants. We enjoyed our stay, even on the wet days. The not so good: really some tweaks which would have made our stay better. New towels please to replace the thin old ones in the bathroom. Providing bin bags, washing machine and dishwasher tablets, extra toilet rolls would have helped a lot. Also among all the written details of local markets and tourist sites, information regarding where to dump rubbish and recycling would have saved us so much time looking. Similarly, a list of local shops (nearest Boulangerie and supermarkets especially) would have been a godsend. Finally, we found the sofa difficult - arms falling off, cover slipping, etc. and a satellite TV system with English speaking channels would have been lovely. These are minor points but ones that future tenants would appreciate.

Best of the Pays Basque can be accessed easily from here . Just into the hills by La Rhune but very close to the coast. Comfortable gite next to the home of friendly helpful owners. Our second visit to the area ,but not the last and this is where we will plan to stay.
