Maison Donamaria - Chambres d'hôtes

A five-minute walk along the lush banks of the River Nive from the old town takes you to the 19th-century Basque house, a former tannery nestled behind the trees by the river, between the Roman bridge and the waterfall. With its beamed ceilings, warm woodwork and stone floors and walls, Maison Donamaria welcomes you to its timeless setting, where you'll love to recharge your batteries on your way to Compostela, or after hiking or sightseeing in the region.

In the pretty, bucolic garden overlooking the river, sheltered from view, you can relax by the pool. The five bedrooms on the second floor, including a family room for 4, all have en-suite shower rooms and WCs. Three rooms overlook the river, two the mountains. Kettle, microwave, coffee maker, fridge-freezer available.
