Casa Rural Areano

Cozy salón, nice place, exceptionally welcoming and friendly host.

Everything was according to the price and format

We love our stay at casa Rural Areano. The place is so welcoming and Mikel was so friendly and ready to help at any time. Very nice rooms and comfortable bed was just the best. Easy to go around the Village and just 40 mins away from Bilbao town Centre. I will definitely recommend casa rural .

Maybe lacks a little choice of breakfast. But everything else was great.

Wonderful experience best customer service brilliant location special thanks to host mikel i ll definitely book again super clean hotel comfortable beds Wide road easy to drive to location highly recommended

Mikel, the manager, was charming and helpful at all times, countryside stunning and house itself well set up without losing authenticity

Had some trouble finding it initially, but Mikel rapidly answered and oriented us by Whatsapp

Hotel is run by a young modern hospitable guy (Mikel) who cares for his guests, but also for the world, i.e. nature, the environment, the (local and world) community. They are flexible, if you have non-standard requests they help solve it quickly, and typically grant your request. O yeah, he bakes delicious cakes! The environment is beautiful, and the exterior and interior itself made me feel home right away. Both exterior and interior are built in the very robust, strong and at the same time pretty Basque style. It is clean, tidy and well equipped, but at the same time cosy and not overly organised, "sterile", so that you still have the feeling you can toch and use thing as if you are at home. They struck the balance right for me. I came by bicycle, cycling all the way from the nearest train station in Zumarraga (about 30km). It is very well reachable by bicycle, the road all the way up to the hotel is very good and well-maintained you need good gears though for the last 2km given the moderate incline.

Location is excellent. The host, Mikel, hospitable, ready to help you in any moment. The house from outside look wonderful and also inside has his own old charm, especially those wooden beams above the windows.Good wi-fi.

Small repairing, renewing jobs still necessary inside the room. Thin walls...you can here very well your neighbors... Not so comfy bed and pillow (big pillow, specific basque area...)

The owner is an exceptionally nice guy who takes great care of his guests!
