  • Location: Axpe

Fodor's Review:

This handsome group of hillside farmhouses is among the province of Vizcaya's most exquisite hideaways. The lower farmhouse, Mendibekoa ("lower mountain" in Euskera), has stunning rooms, an elegant breakfast room, and a glassed-in terrace overlooking the valley. At restaurant Mendigoikoa ("upper mountain"; $$-$$$$), heavy beams loom overhead and a fire usually crackles in the far corner. The pichón de Navaz a la parrilla (Navaz wood pigeon cooked over coals) or the txuleta de buey (beef chops) are memorable. Pros: Gorgeous setting, smart and attentive service. Cons: Uncomfortable beds, rooms poorly lit.
