    • A haven of peace in the heart of the Basque Country

      The Hotel Manexenea is a charming hotel located in the heart of the Basque Country countryside, about 4 km from Saint-Étienne-de-Baigorry, in the Urdos district. Hidden at the foot of the Iparla ridges, it offers a green, tranquil and revitalizing setting, perfect for lovers of nature, calm and simplicity. This two-star establishment welcomes its guests in an authentic atmosphere, combining modern comfort, warm welcome, intimacy and Basque charm. It is ideally located between sea and mountains, which allows you to discover the majestic landscapes, typical villages and Basque cultural heritage.

      Rooms, comfort and accessibility

      Manexenea offers eight comfortable, modern rooms located in a peaceful environment, to guarantee a successful stay. Each room has essential amenities: air conditioning, Wi-Fi, television, private bathroom. The hotel is classified as Tourism & Handicap in several dimensions (hearing, visual, mental), which ensures enhanced accessibility for people with reduced mobility, except for the most restrictive motor disabilities. These tastefully decorated rooms exude tranquility and allow you to relax far from the urban hustle and bustle.

      Local gastronomy & self-service relaxation

      At Hotel Manexenea, local Basque products are showcased. Guests can enjoy a self-service service of ready-made meals in jars, snacks, and drinks, available at any time of day. These recipes showcase Basque gastronomy : fresh produce, regional specialties, simplicity, and authenticity. In addition, the breakfast is generous, and the garden, terrace, and park offer ideal relaxation areas after a hike or exploration of the surrounding valleys and ridges.

      Nature activities, hiking & cultural discovery

      Surrounded by hiking trails and long-distance footpaths, such as those leading to Santiago de Compostela, the hotel is a prime starting point for hiking, trail running, fishing and whitewater sports. You can also discover the rich heritage of the Basque Country: historic villages, vibrant Basque culture and splendid mountain landscapes.

      Manexenea combines accommodation, calm, discovery and immersion in Basque nature for travelers in search of rest, authenticity and a stay combining comfort, gastronomy and adventure.

    I went to visit the land of my Basque great-grandparents and found myself in a very welcoming, family-run guesthouse. I want to highlight Arño's exceptional hospitality; he spoke excellent Spanish and served us an incredible breakfast (with local cured meats) while we listened to a rock band from La Plata. And I experienced this same level of service with every guest at the Manexenea. If you go to Saint Etienne de Baigorry, don't hesitate to stop at this wonderful place and enjoy the region's landscapes, which are a true paradise (please don't miss Saint Jean Pied du Port).

    We spent 5 days in this haven of peace. The hotel is charming, the rooms clean and comfortable, the terrace is quiet and shaded, and the owner is so friendly and welcoming that you feel at home. There is a vending machine with delicious homemade Basque dishes that you can heat up next to the reception. Thank you for everything, we will come back with great pleasure!
