Very friendly and accommodating family runs this hotel. Our stay started in a sense about a week early as we had rental e-bikes delivered. They arrived a week before we did and they were safely stored away for our arrival. On arrival into town via bus from Bilbao airport, they drove to town and picked us up. The hotel has charm since it's an ancient building. The next morning, we wanted breakfast but had not booked in advance but they were able to accommodate us at a reasonable price. We didn't have a full dinner at the restaurant but did have excellent wine and small dishes.

“Fabulous Food, Friendly Staff”

A small family-run hotel in the mountains south-west of San Sebastián where we stayed en route to Portugal. The food was absolutely amazing - both dinner and breakfast.

A small family-run hotel in the mountains south-west of San Sebastián where we stayed en route to Portugal. The food was absolutely amazing - both dinner and breakfast. And the staff could not have been more helpful - my son (aka Master Hungry) was plied with food. To work some of it off, we went on a lovely walk up the steep hill behind the hotel. There isn’t any air-conditioning but that wasn’t a problem as it was not very hot. Parking is free and tucked behind the hotel.

Authentic family owned and run hotel/restaurant with excellent quality local dishes. The hosts and staff are really friendly and go out of their way to make your stay enjoyable and relaxing. The rooms are spacious with quality beds and bedding , the en-suite bathrooms have walk in showers and high end sanitary wear. cleanliness is first class as is the attention to detail throughout the premises. There are ample areas to sit and relax and lots of nice antiques, curios and artefacts to look at. The restaurant is always busy with locals ( a good sign) and the traditional Basque menus are simply gorgeous. There is a private car park at the rear and safe for motorbike parking. This was my third stay at Hotel Larranaga and is my go to hotel when visiting the area.

We were given room 1 which had 2 large single beds in a lovely hotel which was once a bodega in pretty bad shape before it was renovated by the current owners. In an unusual position overlooking the countryside at the back but accessed through what looks like a commercial building estate. Has its own car park. The bedroom was spacious, had an opening window as well as an outside patio area. The opening window was great as there is no air conditioning and it was so hot when we were there, the only problem was that opening the windows let the flies in as well as the mosquitoes from the river running nearby so got slightly bitted to death! I don’t know what the rest of the rooms were like but ours had a couple of steps down to get to the bathroom which we were worried about at night in case we forgot they were there. There is however sun elevator to the first floor where all the rooms are. Nice bathroom, decent shower, the bed and pillows were tempur style so very comfortable. The evening meal was incredible value, we queried the price which was €15 with the lady, thinking this was the lunchtime price, she apologised and said it should be €14 as they had a special price for people staying there. There is also an a la crate menu and I think the difference is maybe the plates are larger (as well as being dearer), but if you are not ravenous I suggest you go for the €15 menu which includes a small starter, main (usually no potatoes or veg) and dessert along with a litre bottle of still water and a full bottle of wine which was quite drinkable. Could not believe the value for money, simple food but well cooked. We were a little confused as to what to choose so the lady just took us in hand and told us what to have for our courses and it was a great recommend. Breakfast was also good although for us just too many cakes, it was like standing in a cake shop trying to decide what cake to have but the server saying you can have a piece of everything!! The old lady that looked after us a breakfast had made the tastiest potato tortilla and I would imagine had made most of the cakes too. Really is a hidden gem, met 2 other lots of English here which in all our travels was the most Brits we had seen in one place…which just goes to show that us Brits can certainly sniff out a bargain!!
