LIVING ROOM

A 40 m² room with grand piano, large windows, chaise longue, plants and lots of natural light. A multipurpose space which can be used as a grand hall for getaways and events, or which can transform into a “chic” yoga school when reserved for retreats.

BEDROOMS

Two large rooms with both bathrooms decorated following the philosophy of wabi-sabi. The furniture and objects selected for this project have been chosen with extreme care and attention, seeking preciosity and embellishing the traces of time. Napoleon slept here in 1813, and his bed now serves as a sofa.

DINING ROOM

This room is strategically located between the kitchen, garden and cellar. It surprises with its arches, ceilings with wooden beams and the warmth of its clay floor, which in the most part is original. A large wooden table invites you to celebrate life in good company.

COURTYARD GARDEN

The green lung of the mansion could not be more charming. The birds adore it, and even if you seek privacy, there will always be a mischievous sparrow watching you in the background. The hydrangeas and roses in the garden give colour to the more botanical feel of the mansion, which includes an open-air spa.

KITCHEN

The kitchen, with a window looking out onto the garden, epitomises cottage style. It is very well equipped and designed for preparing exquisite dishes in a relaxed atmosphere, where everyone will want to join in. In the pantry there are elements of the building’s past and of its origin as a 12th century tower.

SUSTAINABLE BEAUTY

Each guest who chooses us brings us a little closer to our purpose: to create sustainable beauty. There are “friendship” objects that make life more beautiful and have so much potential that their mission does not end with ours, so if you want, they can travel home with you.

NAPOLEON BONAPARTE

Challenging the rules of beauty, the ravages of time expose a deeper source of beauty in this palace with its centuries of history, much greater than a flash of gold.
A sleigh bed and a written letter by Napoleon (dated 1808) leave it up to your imagination to contemplate the passage of the French emperor through this noble house.

OUR SECRET

An imposing stone staircase with several centuries of history leads from the hallway to the hidden gem of the mansion, an oval dome topped by an oculus, which bathes the staircase in natural light, now converted into our private botanical garden.

Give the dream of travelling

Giving a present is an act of generosity towards someone we care about and its effect is as beneficial for the recipient as it is for the giver. Well chosen, the gift can make that person feel special. Although the most important thing is the content, we take care of the detail so that the person honoured knows instantly that a unique experience awaits them. We prepare gift cards to make you shine with a special two night open-date gift.

This activity is facilitated by a certified Forest Therapy Hub guide, and is offered throughout the year to couples and groups.

Tradition

Basque rural sports

Basque rural sports, which require great physical strength and endurance, were born in Basque farmhouses and were intrinsically linked to the work of the rural world. They are now an indispensable part of popular Basque tradition. Do you want to know their secrets? We take you to the gym of an elite athlete for a unique experience.
