The Experience

Airy, spacious rooms with big picture windows allow nature to be the real star of the show; original stone walls and beams, fairly minimalist furniture and a sleek vibe make sure nothing else but the great outdoors is in the limelight. Seven of the eight bedrooms have their own terraces and all have super mattresses, linen, slippers, bathrobes and air-conditioning. Bathrooms have hydro-jet corner tubs and big glass showers with bucolic views.

Breakfast on fruit from the orchard, freshly-baked breads, organic eggs, hams and Iberian cheeses; stay in for proper Basque dishes at supper – white truffles, elvers, Kokotxas and Marmitako along with grilled meats, all locally-sourced. Recover with an artisan beer on a smart sofa or wander into the garden to admire lemon, cherry, walnut, apple and peach trees.

Wine and food tours, forest bathing, massage, a Jeep nature tour in the reserve – all can be arranged with a bit of notice.

Reviews

Two night stay to visit Bilbao. Difficult to find in hills just behind Bermeo, but then fine views down to coast. Staff welcoming and spoke English. Room enormous under old roof, but headroom clear only in half. Large bubble bath also in bedroom. Shower in glass screen in corner of bedroom may be uncomfortable but all equipment worked perfectly. Room had large covered terrace and views across farmland. Had two dinners in Dining room, only for hotel guests, generous breakfasts. Free electric car charging point. Recommend taking taxi into Bermeo to catch regular bus to Bilbao -very cheap fares.

The stunning northern Basque country is yours to explore and a stay at the new Nafarrola with passionate brother team, Josu and Gaizka, takes you layers deep into local life and unique experiences and chef Gaizka's delectable cuisine. Very comfortable, minimal accommodation do not distract from the verdant surrounding countryside, viewed from large picture windows and generous terraces off rooms.

Location

The neighbourhood

You are immersed in the green hills of the Urdaibai Biosphere Reserve with woods and marked trails - walks will be sublime but you're just 3kms from the town of Bermeo. Here, by the sea, you'll find colourful painted houses and a lovely harbour along with a great choice of restaurants and shops. Bakio is 12kms with small wineries set up for visits, Bilbao is a 40-minute drive.

Local points of interest from Josu & Gaizka Goikoetxea

San Juan de Gaztelugatxe. After 241 steps stairs you arrive to the church onto the rock. It's also known as Dragonstone in Game of Thrones. Necessary to book a ticket from Spring to Autumn.
Urdaibai Biosphere Reserve. Hotel Nafarrola is located in the unique Biosphere Reserve of the Basque Country. The marshes of Urdaibai generate special places: beaches, birds observatories, amazing paths to walk through,.... limitless.
Old fishing towns vs. Surfing: Bermeo, Elantxobe, Lekeitio... are towns with a great fishing history and culture, museums and traditions. Their old quarters are great. Mix these tours with the surfing in Bakio or Mundaka or having baths in special beaches.
Food and Wine: Visit the wineries in Bakio, enjoy the Txakoli (local wine) with the great restaurants we have in the area... You will have the chance to enjoy tastes that you won't be able to enjoy nowhere else. Basque Country is the Food Lovers Country.
The City: Bilbao is just half an hour far from the hotel (airport 20 min far), so you are able to enjoy with the Guggenheim, Bellas Artes museum and enjoy in the old quartet or visit the river of Bilbao enjoying the old, classic and new Bilbao.
Relax: You see that it's easy to have many plans around... but nevertheless, Hotel Nafarrola permits you stay in a relaxed area, enjoy with our services and unique experiences and get relaxed like no one can stay in the whole Basque Country.
