Itxassou House | The charm of an old sheepfold 5' from Espelette facing the Basque Mountains

1 Bedroom House in Itxassou

This completely renovated former sheepfold is located at the very end of a cul-de-sac on a small road in the hills above Itxassou and Cambo-les-Bains, just 2 kilometers from each village. In a protected, peaceful, and beautiful setting, the only view from the house is the Basque mountain range, which stretches out before the windows and terrace. In the foreground, facing the cottage, a vast sloping meadow often shelters our neighbor's beautiful flock of sheep.
The cottage, nestled under ancient oak trees, faces due south and boasts a large terrace overlooking the mountains bordering Spain. Tasteful décor and complete comfort have been incorporated throughout. Between the sea and the mountains, in the heart of the "real" Basque Country and its charming villages, there are a wealth of activities and destinations to explore. The ideal location, just 25 minutes from the sea and in the heart of the traditional inland Basque Country, allows you to easily alternate between activities and discovering all facets of our beautiful Basque Country. Bernard and Fafa, the owners, are passionate about their region. They live in a separate house on the same property, about fifty meters away, but neither house disturbs the other. They are always available to offer advice, suggestions for hikes, or recommendations for good restaurants.

Summary: On arrival we were greeted by the owner who seemed surprised by the fact we had 2 large dogs with us and said "he normally only takes 1 small dog". We found this surprising as it had been my first message to the property when booking and had been told the dogs would be most welcome. It wasn't a problem for the remainder of our stay but did make us feel rather uncomfortable. Also, the write up implied that there was a garden for guests and linen and hairdryer provided but apart from a terrace we had no garden and linen and hairdryer were not provided,I made a trip to a local supermarket and purchased all that was needed. The cottage is really pretty with stunning views and kitchen is particularly well equipped. The location was perfect for walking and getting to beaches and is very quiet and relaxed. Despite being within the grounds of the owner's property, they were not intrusive at all. Plenty of maps and tourist leaflets for visitors use. Bed was comfortable as was the sofa in the lounge, we don't watch TV so can't comment on this.
