A cluster of three authentic houses dating back to 1665, turned small luxury hotel and gastronomic restaurant.
A SLOW-CHIC EXPERIENCE
The Navarre. A landscape of mountains that seems shaped by the powerful swell of the close Atlantic Ocean. In Bidarray, one of its most unsoiled angle, lies the Auberge Ostapé. A cluster of three authentic houses dating back to 1665 turned small luxury hotel and gastronomic restaurant. Step inside, the authentic Basque backdrop continues with whitewashed walls and exposed beams, raw oak parquet, Jean Vier fabrics, antiques and wool rugs smartly combined with soothing colors and contemporary touches.
Open from March to November
Double rooms start at 170 € per night. Use the calendars to verify the rate and availability on a specific date and to book online.
WE LOVE
- The location. Arguably the most superb we have been given to see in south-west France.
- The strong Basque identity. Godsend for city-people looking for the "real".
- The ethos. The Auberge Ostapé is a 5 star hotel, but strongly clings on its Inn values when it gets to service.
DON'T MISS
- Brana distillery, to discover the secrets of their famous wines and eau de vie (+33 5 59 370 044).
- Auberge Iparla, a foodie’s destination of choice in this part of the hoods (+33 5 59 377 721).
- Chocolaterie Laia. If you’re into chocolate, join the queue: this is where locals come to buy up big (+33 5 59 375 143).
THE BEST BIT
The local produce used at the Restautant Ostapé. A drive up to the Auberge Ostapé is an initiation to its carte. Neighbours include Irouléguy wineyards, shepards, Itxassou orchards and other Aldudes pork butchers. And a river full of trout, too.
NEED TO KNOW
Rooms: 22 understated luxury suites. The idea here was not to make it on the front page of AD magazine, as much as to create warm and elegant hideaways that would leave the scene to actual star: the dramatic Navarre nature. All rooms have a sumptuous bathroom with a Victorian bath as centerpiece.
Restaurant: Despite being a true gastronomic shack, the restaurant Ostapé has a very humble approach to cuisine – chef Cédric Roubin focuses exclusively on the extraordinary local produce, and lets nature and local producers guide his choice of menus.
Pool: Outdoor swimming pool with sweeping views.
