“Magical riverside setting in a typical Basque village. Excellent restaurant serving rustic treats such as wood pigeon. Large elegant bedrooms with terraces and beautiful mountain views. Guests are invited to relax by the outdoor pool or the cosy hotel lounge. A peaceful country retreat.”

Hotel review

Nothing could be more pleasant than breakfasting on a sunny morning on Arcé’s dining terrace, which juts out over the river and is sheltered by a canopy of chestnut trees. Inside, the public rooms are spacious and include a smart dining room with picture windows and a beamed library. A sizeable swimming pool is hidden in a green enclosure on the far side of a wooden bridge across the river. Some of the bedrooms are impressively large; others have small terraces with mountain views. Five generations of Arcé family have run this carefully updated hotel; long may it continue.
