About this villa rental

Welcome to Villa Etche Churria (White House, in Basque).
You will recognize the entrance to the 2.5 hectare park by its red Basque gate. Take the road and admire the centuries-old oak forest that borders the property, with the Atlantic Ocean in the distance.
Entering the house from the very large living room of + 130m2 with its central fireplace by designer JC Bordelet, you will appreciate the large picture window with its view of Saint Jean de Luz, and even to the Landes.
If you are lucky (and good swell conditions ..) you may see off the ledge, the mythical wave of the Basque Country, the Belharra waking up before your eyes.
Take advantage of the warm library with "Basque red" walls to relax, play a game of billiards, or even work a little (but not too much) on his "custom" desk in solid oak.

Before exploring your home further, consider having a snack in your Leicht kitchen. Very generous in size (40m2) and open to the house and the terrace, this convivial space was designed by a designer from Bidart. You will be able to take advantage of high-end equipment (Miele equipment) which will make meal preparation, with authentic products from the Basque Country, a great moment of shared happiness.
Well satisfied, come and stroll on your huge terrace of more than 200 m2, paved with stones from the Rhunes. At the edge of the 16x4 swimming pool, heated and treated with salt, you will delight in the "double view" Rhune and Ocean which is the trademark of the villa Etche Churria. The safety of the swimming pool is ensured by a floating type shutter, with electric control.
To rest, the villa offers eight bedrooms, all equipped with their private bathroom. The whole house was renovated in 2018 with high-end equipment (Grohe taps), for your comfort.
The owners were keen to make the house "eco-responsible" and the heating + hot water unit is produced by wood pellets (High performance Okofen boiler, replaced in 2019).

Children are not left out with a dedicated playroom, with table football and TV, as well as a "dormitory" for a holiday atmosphere of yesteryear.

To keep you entertained, a professional cinema room (4K projector, ClassG amplifier ATMOS standard), designed for 12 people, will be able to enthrall you for hours of pampering in front of a blockbuster, an old classic, or even cinema.
But if you want to stay active or improve your physical condition before a surf session on Hendaye beach, on de Bidart, our gym and its Pilates and TRX equipment are there for you.
The forest below the house is part of your property, and you will appreciate its freshness in summer and its buccolic charm (and porcini mushrooms for experienced amateurs!) in autumn.
The typical Basque village of Urrugne is a few kilometers away, and the beaches of Hendaye are only a few minutes away.
Welcome home!

All 20 of us stayed at this property and had the best time cooking (& eating together at the giant outdoor table), swimming, and relaxing in this beautiful, spacious house. While we went into San Sebastian and the neighboring towns a lot as we intended to explore and tour as the primary reason for going, you really could easily spend 3-4 days just enjoying the house and your company. We would definitely stay again whenever we're in this area!

We stayed in Etche Churria at the beginning of August 2022. It is a super house with great facilities but I am afraid the standard of cleaning is just not acceptable. I will list the issues Front porch - On arrival we had to sweep sand from the front door. Outside area not cleaned - bread by the pool and in it. - Cornflakes under table which clearly not swept properly - Outside table laden with dust, dog hairs and dirt (unacceptable to say this is as result of dusty weather!) - Outside lounging area covered in dog hairs, dust and sand - Dog poo in grass Kitchen - cabinets greasy and sticky to the touch - Crumbs and remainders of food under chopping boards - Dishes and utensils put away dirty - Water leak from sink - floor covered in water - Fridges not clean - Kitchen swarmed with flies on arrival due to the standard of cleaning Bathrooms - sinks sandy and dirty - Toilets smelt of urine - 2 toilets stopped working twice - Shower blocked from first shower Configuration of house not as advertised - gym and upstairs games room advertised as separate bedrooms. Both have no closing door and are also advertised separately as recreation rooms. - Futons not made up even though we had booked the house for its full capacity The above list of issues is quite considerable and I would be very concerned if I had rented out my property and received such feedback. The cleaners returned for a mere 20 mins and proceeded to clean the bathrooms with a dry dishcloth and no cleaning products. It is no surprise that the bathrooms smelt and looked dirty! It is simply not good enough to rent out a house in the state we found it. We spent two hours cleaning the house before we felt comfortable to install ourselves. I urge the owner not to respond to my review with a pathetic reply about the great team of cleaners he employs when he knows this is not true. Given our experience and previous feedback, this property needs to be removed from VRBO.

We stayed in the house for 1 week in July 2022. Adults and kids had widespread bug bites throughout the week, which we hoped were just mosquitoes. When we arrived home, three families (including mine) found bedbugs that had traveled with them from the house and we had confirmation that the bites were from bedbugs. There is zero chance we brought them with us. We traveled from 2 countries and 4 different locations. Bedbugs were confirmed in at least 5 bedrooms of the house. Following departure, the owner accused us multiple times of stealing a coffee machine and breaking a pullout couch. We had never seen the coffee machine and only used the couch once. When we asked for more info, he eventually stopped talking about the coffee machine (presumably because he found it or it wasn’t there when we stayed). But he still took the entire, large deposit for the couch, without giving us any information despite repeated requests for clarity. He later returned the deposit after we protested, and he said that the couch had been repaired. We have extensive photos of the bedbug bites and the dead bedbugs we found once we returned home. I am writing this three weeks later and my son is still covered in scars from the bites. Given the widespread infestation, I believe it is clear that the bedbugs were there well before we arrived without us being notified. We spent a week washing and drying our clothes, leaving everything in plastic bags in the sun. We still had to dispose of all of our belongings because we could not get rid of them before we returned home. We likely need to pay to treat our house now too. The house is otherwise nice. Had we not been infested by bedbugs, been falsely accused of stealing a coffee machine and had a large deposit taken without evidence, we might have come again. I have rented a lot of houses. This is the first time I have had such issues and managing the damage has been very difficult since we rented this house.
