Atxurra Hotel-Apartamento Rural

this hotel is for you. We had two days there and loved the hotel, staff (excellent English), and setting which is in a nature preserve with a 9km circuit trail to a 100 AD Roman ruin. The common areas are nicely decorated and the dining ranging from tapa plates to a fixed menu of fresh ingredients. Breakfast included both fresh squeezed orange juice and the reddest tomatoes ever. The hotel is quiet, peaceful, and pastoral with horses next door. The staff were happy to converse and went out of their way to cater to us. I save 5 ratings for the best I have ever visited, and have to say, that this was a hghlight of a trip that was filled with excellent, inexpensive hotels. Atxurra was the best Here is what we learned that we did not know. It is a 1500 foot down , 5-6 km walk to the town of Bermeo (lovely setting). While the climb back up is slower, there is a restaurant 1/3 of the way up for a beer to cool off. We initially reached the hotel from the center of Bilbao by an hourly bus (2.5 E) to Bermeo and then a 13 E taxi up to the hotel. There is a bus stop at the intersection of the hotel's road and the main Bermeo to Bilbao road and then it is about 2 km of level walk on an untravelled paved road to the hotel. Hence if you don't have too much baggage and like to walk, you do not need a rental car.

Lovely boutique lodging. Excellent staff and service. One comment is that detailed directions would be a big improvement. This hotel address not in any of our map apps - we had to call hotel from town for instructions. Location is a few minutes out of town, up a mountain in very quiet and remote setting with sheep and horses as neighbors. Excellent! We extended our stay.

Tres decu sur la brochure on nous montre une chambre avec cuisine on avait tt prevu arriver lasbas pas de cuisine c tres bruyant on entend tt on a pas pu se reposer il avait du bruit jusqua 2h du mat le matin reveiller par les bruit de la cuisine tres decu en general

Lo mejor el entorno. Todo muy bien, solo no me parecio comoda la cama. El servicio excelente, en particular un joven rumano que nos atendio cuando llegamos y en el bar.

Le somptueux décors entre mer et montagnes qui borde l'hôtel nous a scotché ! Surtout au petit réveil depuis la chambre de l'hôtel ! En lui même, l'hôtel est très agréable, silencieux et par dessus tout très mignon dans son style "grange rénovée" avec tous le confort d'un grand hôtel. Rien à dire sur le service, mais juste un petit mot pour les futurs voyageurs souhaitant passer un très bon moment dans cet hôtel : "prenez deux minutes pour réviser vos quelques mots techniques d'espagnol !", la réception parle qu'Espagnol avec quelques notions d'Anglais... Difficiles du coup de rapidement ce faire comprendre, mais une langue des signes improvisée s'installe rapidement dans la bonne humeur :) Dans tous les cas, si je repasse dans ce coin de l'Espagne, je serais à présent qu'un bel hôtel avec une vue imprenable et une une ambiance reposante m'attend en haut de la colline.

We enjoyed our two night stay at Atxurra. The hotel is well built and well designed and finished. The rooms are large and well furnished. The hotel is well maintained and very clean throughout. The breakfasts are excellent with a wide choice available and even fresh orange juice which is always a sign of a good hotel.

A lovely hotel, up a narrow road in the mountains - great for a quiet stay or if touring in the location. A little way away from anything, so transport is definitely required. The staff were really helpful and informative about the area. Very

Great four poster bed, shame there wasn't much atmosphere in the hotel bar at the time we went in the evening.

The friendliness could not have been bettered! The hotel was a wonderful blend between the tradional and modern where one could see that a great deal of thought as well as resources had been invested in creating an ecofriendly homely environment whilst retaining the highest standards. If there was anything that could have been bettered that might have been a room with a double bed rather than two singles.

Very excentric hotel but lovely location, right on the promenade. People friendly if a little crazy!
