Full Description
Perched on the heights of one of the most beautiful villages in the Basque Country, this authentic Labourdine farm offers a breathtaking view of the peaks. An imposing 16th century building, it is on the list of the oldest buildings in the region. Thanks to the audacity and madness of passionate owners, this sleeping beauty has regained all its splendor after months of restoration work. Taking up all the attributes of Labourdine architecture, its main facade has remained intact: the dynamism and graphic liveliness of the half-timbered walls in red colors standing out against the whitewashed backgrounds. The overhanging roof, the projecting stone walls, the rhythmically inserted windows, access via a deep porch called 'lorio'. Inside, the result is remarkable and the volumes proposed spectacular, for a developed surface area of nearly 450m2 spread over 3 levels. The raw materials, the elegant colors, and the piercing light reveal the soul of the place. As in the past, the different spaces invite conviviality to welcome small and large tribes. We cook, we dine, we toast, we read, we chat, we play and we sleep at least 10 with 4 large bedrooms and shower rooms and a real dormitory on the top level with shower room and gym. Outside, the magic of the place continues to operate, from the infinity pool, the summer kitchen, the bodega, the pétanque court, or the spa corner ... We let ourselves be absorbed by the magnetic view of this postcard within reach. This exceptional site, precious heritage of the Basque identity, constitutes a unique property of its kind.
