We loved the old school building renovated with an eye for detail and all modern comfort.
The location is great, half an hour's walk from the beach. Lekeitio is a pleasant town. A wonderful base to get to know the Basque nature and culture. Anne and Kerman are very hospitable and were always available if necessary. We enjoyed our moments together...their stories and hospitality !!

We travelled throughout France and Spain this trip and saw and did many memorable things but this is the place I’ll dream of coming back to. Beautiful home, lots to do in the area (although I particularly loved doing nothing at all!). Anne was very welcoming and everything was easy. Don’t hesitate to book.

The place is fantastic. There were six of us and the beautiful house offered living space, coolness and is fully equipped. The location is great as is the view. Relax at the house, swim in the sea, have drinks and snacks in beautiful and friendly Lekeitio or take (mountain) walks. Everything within short (walking) distance. Bilbao is only an hour away. In short, a great place with very hospitable and friendly owners. Highly recommended!

We had a great stay at Anne and Keramon's beautifully converted schoolhouse. It's a great open space for a family, super clean, bbq and a cool terrace for relaxing. The location above Lekeitio, which has a great beach and loads to do, is handy for getting to lots of cool places in this part of the basque country. Finally, Anne and Keramon are great hosts, offering lots of really friendly help and advice. Go!

Great place in Lekeitio
Our family had a wonderful time. Anna and Kerman who live near the house have been very welcoming. The house has been recently renovated, is well appointed, and is very clean. Our kids age 8 to 11 enjoyed the garden very much.

La douceur de l'hiver
C'est une maison parfaite posée sur le flanc d'une colline avec une vue superbe sur la baie de Lekeitio. On peut partir à pied de la maison, pour aller marcher dans la nature ou descendre à la ville, un vrai plaisir. La maison est très bien équipée et Anne et Kermann toujours disponible et plein de bon conseil. Une destination idéale.

Con vistas a la paz y tranquilidad
Anne un encanto, anfitriona perfecta. Tranquilidad y vistas espléndidas. Un sitio perfecto para retirarse a cargar las pilas. A la escuela no le falta un perejil. Estamos muy agradecidos a nuestros anfitriones. Sin duda, un lugar para repetir

Sehr schönes Ferienhaus
Das sehr schöne Ferienhaus, ein renoviertes altes baskisches Schulhaus, liegt wunderschön in den Bergen oberhalb von Lekeitio. Von der Terrasse hat man einen tollen Blick in die Berge und seitlich auch auf die Stadt und das Meer. Das Haus ist sauber und super eingerichtet. Es fehlt einem an nichts.
Man wird sehr herzlich von Anne und ihrem Mann Kerman begrüsst und die beiden tuen alles, um einem den Aufenthalt so angenehm wie möglich zu machen und haben viele Tipps für Aktivitäten, etc.. Bessere Gastgeber kann man sich nicht wünschen.
Zu Fuss kann man in ca. 20 Minuten nach Lekeitio laufen um dort in der Stadt zu verweilen oder an den Strand zu gehen. Zu einem der schönsten Strände in der Umgebung (Laga) sind es ca. 20 Minuten mit dem Auto. In San Sebastian und Bilbao ist man jeweils in etwas mehr als einer Stunde mit dem Auto.
Wir (2 Erwachsene und 3 Kinder) haben den Aufenthalt sehr genossen und können das Haus nur allen empfehlen. Wenn es uns das nächste mal nach Spanien zieht, werden wir definitiv wieder in das Haus zurückkommen.
Vielen Dank noch mal an Anne und Kerman für die schöne Zeit.

Paradijsje
Een unieke plek. In de verte de zee en temidden van bergen ligt dit smaakvol verbouwde en ingerichte schooltje. Gebruik gemaakt van de eco produkten die in huis aanwezig waren. Genoten van de gastvrijheid van de eigenaren. We komen graag terug!

Excellent in every way
It was a joy to be able to stay in this beautifully renovated house with so much history! Ann and Kerman were really lovely and went out of their way to make sure we all enjoyed our stay. The house is well equipped with high quality furniture, kitchen ware, it has everything you could need. We appreciated the sensitive way they have restored this old school house using natural methods and materials where possible. The town is walking distance (though we drove with our two small kids) and enjoyed exploring its charming harbour and playing on the beach there.
We loved everything about this house and are missing it already!!

Una joya muy cerca de Lekeitio con anfitriones excepcionales
Es un lugar idóneo para desconectar del día a día, con excepcionales anfitriones, un trato inmejorable en todo lo que necesites. La casa decorada con una mezcla de detalles nórdicos y piezas de caserío la hacen muy acogedora, con amplios ventanales que dejan entrar muchísima luz, en perfecto estado de limpieza y orden y equipada con todo lo que puedas necesitar y más.
Ideal para ir con niños con zona verde sin nada de tráfico alrededor, con barbacoa y hamacas para tomar el sol.
Una casa para repetir.
Eskerrik asko Anne eta Kerman!

We'll stay for longer next time!
This is a joy of a place - 2km from the sea & surrounded by hills, coast, fishing villages & historic towns with museums & the Guggenheim, fully equipped with everything you could ask for & with Anne, who couldn't have done more.The first time we've stayed in Spain, apart from with family in Barcelona & quite one of the best cottages we've had anywhere.The Basque region is a very special place - we will definitely be returning in the not too distant future! Thanks, Anne!

Incredible underestimated location
The house itself is already nice with all furnitures. The surroundings are also beautiful and quiet. Owners are welcoming . Lekeitio itself is just incredible. Extremely authentic. 2 nice beaches. One island accessible at low tide. One clean river to cross to access one of the beach. Old city to be discovered. No cars in city center. Small harbor. Anti jet-set atmosphere. And only one hour drive from Bilbao... Wonderful for those looking for authenticity....

Wonderful time in a great house
We spent a fabulous week in the house with extended family. We loved both the special character of the house (spacious and cozy at the same time) and the location (15 - 20 minutes walk to two great beaches and nice restaurants but our 6 year old kids could play outside alone and it was calm - apart from our kids). The beaches are really special at low tide - my husband and the kids spent hours catching fish and other small animals on the way to the island (reachable by foot at low tide) and there is also a lot of quite water even for very young kids.

Ruhiges wunderschönes Ferienhaus
Annes wunderschönes Ferienhaus - eine sehr stilvolle, geräumige und gelungene Synthese aus altem Steinhaus und moderner Einrichtung - lässt keine Wünsche offen. Es ist prima ausgestattet, sehr gemütlich und liegt wunderbar ruhig oberhalb von Lekeitio mit Blick in die Berge und aufs Meer. Wir können es rundum empfehlen und haben eine sehr erholsame Zeit dort verbracht. Danke Anne für Deine herzliche Gastfreundschaft und die hilfreichen Tipps!
