A unique experience of staying in Château d'Urtubie that some of its rooms were converted to hotel rooms. The Château d'Urtubie is undergoing renovation so not all rooms were available. The room we got was cosy with nice view (small things like restroom door needs to be fixed). The owner was very kind in checking us in (late arrival) making sure that everything works (wifi) and checking us out. He also gave us an exciting tour of the Château d'Urtubie. It is located within 5 minutes drive from lively (ocean/shopping/restaurants) St Jean de luz .There is a great Michelin rated restaurant nearby (5 minutes walk). All in all a very positive experience. Highly recommended

We booked in for 4 nights - and loved it. The owner - Phillipe? - was most welcoming and helpful, and showed us around the old part of the chateau. The room was charming and comfortable - little things like good lighting in the bathroom, a magnifying mirror, a decent shower, and power points made everything so easy. Breakfast was extra, but great. Happy to recommend, will definitely stay there again.

We were welcomed by the Count who really made us feel special. Staying at the Castle was a wonderful experience. It was one the highlights of our time in France.

The Chateau is a medium sized one, has a keep and even a moat! The same family has been living in it since starting to build the Chateau in the 1300's and have been adding to it ever since. We were given a warm, friendly welcome by the current Compte, who showed us around and then to our room. Despite the castle like architecture in parts, it also had a homely, 'liveable in' feel to it. Our bedroom and bathroom were large, very comfortable and everything was good quality chosen with taste, including the 17th century bedhead. We were late booking and only the most expensive room was left but we both felt that the experience was worth every penny, particularly when looking out of our window onto the English rose garden! Parts of the Chateau are open to the public but you are encouraged to make yourself at home and wander where you will, and just soak up the atmosphere. any disadvantages? it is near a busy road -so there is some traffic 'hum' in parts of the garden nearest the road, but special blinds, and extra glazing meant that in our bedroom, we could not hear any traffic noise when the windows were closed. We can't speak for other rooms ofcourse. Evening meals are not offered at the Chateau - however there is a good and interesting restaurant within an 8 mins walk ( or 2 min drive) on a path through a field of maize!! I would take a torch another time!
