Modernist Basque hideaway

“Step inside, though, and this 11-room inn shows its true colors as an edgy mix of urban good taste and farmhouse Basque.”

What they say
One Michelin Key
Michelin
Also in Condé Nast Traveler.
This antique inn, more than three centuries old, was expanded with an unapologetically modernist addition, and the resulting building is a lively hybrid...
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
Tucked into the rural hills of Saint-Pée-sur-Nivelle, the inn sits between the Atlantic coast and the Pyrenean peaks.
The rooms
Waxed oak floors meet Pyrenean stone vanities, with select rooms opening onto private balconies facing the Basque hillside.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
Wooden loungers border the heated swimming pool, set on open lawns facing the Pyrenean foothills.
Dogs stay too.

How it began
