My husband and I rented Javier's house with good friends with whom we vacation every few years. It was perfect for two couples or a small family, and we loved our stay here. The house is both practical and charming, and the hosts, Javier and Miguel, couldn't have been nicer. Miguel met us at an easy-to-find location and guided us through the country roads to the house. Once we settled in, they checked to see if we had any questions and were always available through email if we needed something. Since we often cook meals ourselves, we appreciated the many kitchen tools and roomy kitchen. It was also fun to explore the inside and outside of the house. The inside is filled with interesting books and art, some of it done by Javier--and we loved feeding the sheep that graze in a fenced area near the house and watching the huge slugs that appeared after a heavy rain. This is definitely country living! It was also an excellent base for exploring the Basque country with easy access to major highways to Bilbao, San Sebastian, Pamplona, Guernica, and other locations. If you are planning to visit the Basque country, this is a wonderful place to stay.
