We stayed at Hotel Arraya in the lovely village of Sare and absolutely loved it! 💛 This charming historic house is run by a wonderful family whose warmth and hospitality made us feel truly at home. Everything is cared for with so much love and attention. The restaurant is excellent, and the location is perfect for exploring the Basque Country and the Pyrenees. The only thing we didn’t like was having to leave. 😊 We’d love to come back and highly recommend this beautiful place!

Location was beautiful in a small french village, the room was a very nice size and although the home (hotel) is over 400 years old, the rooms, especially the bathroom are the perfect blend to make for a very comfortable stay. Great wifi, was able to give a video presentation to a university in USA while staying there. Took two lovely hikes from the hotel, trails were close and easy to get to.

Nothing that we didn't like however we did not anticipate that taxis would not be readily available at the San Sebastian airport. Also there are limited taxi services in Sare, the hotel was wonderful in assisting us with securing taxi service but if the hotel/area was busier, it would have been a challenge. Best bet would be to rent a car.

Our room was excellent. A large and comfortable sleeping area and bathroom with all the facilities you could want. The building is very old and has lots of character, The breakfast was excellent and our hosts were very friendly and went out of their way to make our stay memorable.

Beautiful old hotel, full of character but with contemporary, tasteful bathroom facilities. All very clean and comfortable. Restaurant really good too. Owners were very friendly but professional, spoke English and made us feel very welcome.

All good!

This hotel has everything - ambience, comfort, modern facilities, gracious hosts. the property was historical but with modern updates. the pool was perfect. when we arrived, tired from a long day of hiking, Laurence suggested changing our room to one with a bath so we could soak our tired feet. so thoughtful! The food at the restaurant was fantastic too. The chef puts both heart and ingenuity into his dishes.

Very friendly staff - even though there was clearly a lot happening with the village concert that weekend. Rooms to a very high standard - we were warned the concert might be noisy, but the double glazing worked a treat to keep the noise out. We were a party of three - and the third bed was a proper bed - not a temporary camp bed - so my daughter was happy. Bathroom facilities are great - interesting Italian-style shower and everything one would need and expect. We only ate breakfast - and it was good and we were able to ask for extras if we wanted.

The only, very minor, issue is no dedicated car park - we used street parking which was obviously affected by the concert. On any other weekend I suspect street parking would be straightforward.

The hotel was exquisite. Beautifully decorated, very clean and comfortable. The pool was an extra bonus! Our family of 4 was very comfortable in the suite. The food was delicious and the staff all very accommodating and helpful.

Great old hotel with modern updates. Good Spar supermarket nearby. Restaurant was disappointing as the menu lacked beef or lamb. Other Australians staying said the same. Fancy food but disappointing. Great location.

Restaurant menu.

We have stayed before and chose it again because it is very well run, very comfortable and civilised and very cosy. We also rebooked it because the first time we stayed there we had dinner in their restaurant and it was fabulous. Breakfast at this hotel is a beautiful thing and I love the linens they use. There is also a really lovely shop with lots of local goodies in it.

Sadly, the restaurant was closed (was reopening the following day), so we missed out on that experience for the second time, however, we were redirected to another bistro in a nearby village, which the hotel very kindly booked for us and we were received very warmly at that bistro and fed a good hot meal.

When I asked for twin beds at check-in, they accommodated my request with kindness. Everything is wonderful. The food was delicious and the stay was relaxing.
