    • Ithurria is a former Compostela stopover, transformed for you into a charming inn.


      Opened in 1962, four generations have succeeded one another at the stoves.
      For half a century we have been trying to perpetuate the art of hospitality, respect and the search for the best products for our kitchen and our wine cellar.

      Our menu and dishes are based around specialties such as piperade, eggs with truffles or pigeon and seasonal products such as Landes asparagus, ceps, wood pigeon and Basque lamb.

      Our well-stocked Bordeaux cellar is enriched with the best Crus from Irouleguy and the Southwest, not forgetting a fine selection of Armagnacs.

      Menus:

      • Set menus at €85 and €125
      • Card prices start from €80
      • Bistro menu starting from €25

    Wow! We had dinner at the gourmet restaurant and it was… absolutely flawless, from the amuse-bouches to the petit fours! The five-course dinner was truly exceptional. Beautiful ingredients, indescribable flavors, dishes truly worthy of a Michelin star! Special mention to the vegetable starter and the scallop dish 🤤 Thank you again and congratulations to the chef and the team who gave us a truly timeless experience in a friendly setting in the Basque Country 🫶

    We spent two nights in this magnificent place, found through the Teritoria network. The house is beautiful, tastefully decorated, and furnished with antiques. A very warm welcome at reception, with excellent recommendations for exploring the neighboring villages. The very comfortable room offered a superb view of the village. Dinner was delicious, and the restaurant staff were very professional. Breakfast was also of high-quality quality, with a special mention ❤️ for the homemade mango-passion fruit jam. I 100% recommend the Hotel Ithurria. Kudos to the staff and owners.

    Fully deserves its Michelin star. We return twice a year and enjoy the local walking and a swim afterwards!
