to get started.

Attention given to complication with my payment was very professionally and graciously managed. The property is immaculate inside and out. The rooms are first tier and it is exceptional design and quality throughout hotel. A very contemporary and intriguing and spacious hotel. There is a gorgeous view from hotel in peaceful rural setting minutes from the pleasures of San Sebastian. The pool/spa area is a true delight and with state of the art hydrotherapy within pool itself. All together including sauna and exceptional steam room, lounging area with gorgeous view, quite a lovely pool area. The property is set away from road by nice driveway, and maintains a solitary lookout towards ocean. Is a perfectly accomplished hotel with the finest and sincerest staff available.

Edward, United States of America

Spectacular views, food; beautiful, restful place to stay in the French Basque countryside

Manuel, United States of America

Hotel Arce is a very nice hotel located in a picturesque village in the French Basque region, just over the border from Spain. I recommend this hotel if you want to do the many outdoor activities in the area. There is a gorgeous, moderately difficult hike that starts directly from the hotel and climbs 1600 ft (500 meters) up via an old smuggler's route to a pass at the Spanish border. At the top of the hike you can enjoy a hearty three course lunch at the restaurant located at the top of the pass (also accessable via car).

Carl, United States of America

I found it utterly wonderful from arrival to departure. Such a beautiful setting by the river, tasteful rooms, sense of history, delicious dinner and breakfast, everyone we met from the hotel was charming. A little pricey but absolutely ok for a special trip.

Food, room, staff and location are all 10 out of 10.

Richard, United Kingdom

Location was good and close to small town in this remote location on the GR10 trail which was only reason for late booking and change of original hotel booking that was 2.9 miles away. Twin room was large and spacious with sitting room and a free small bottle of water each!

Robin, United Kingdom

Well-appointed hotel, professional and helpful staff, excellent restaurant for dinner and breakfast.

Bart, France

We loved the locality and the swimming pool area. We also had a very comfortable room and excellent bed and were impressed with the standards of cleanliness. Breakfast was good but the coffee was disappointingly lukewarm.

Paul, United Kingdom

An amazing hotel, owners, staff, food and location. It's a place I always stay at when travelling around this area.

Phillip, United Kingdom

This is such an idyllic gem! I can't wait to come back. The river setting is stunning and so peaceful. The food in the restaurant was delicious and the staff were extremely helpful and welcoming. It really is such a special hotel and we felt very lucky we found it.

Located at the foot of the Ispéguy pass, this traditional Basque-style hotel offers an outdoor pool and elegant rooms either overlooking the grounds, the river or the Pyrennes mountains.

Some of the rooms at the Hotel Arcé also feature a balcony. They are all equipped with a flat-screen TV and a private bathroom. Free Wi-Fi access is available in the entire Hotel Arcé.

In the morning, guests can choose from a continental and a buffet breakfast. The Arcé’s restaurant provides traditional cuisine from the Basque Country, prepared with fresh local produce. Meals can be served on the covered terrace, by the river.

Hotel Arcé also features a lounge living room. Guests are invited to relax on deck chairs by the pool or enjoy a game of tennis.

The hotel is located near the charming villages of Ascain, Esplette and Ainhoaat. Saint-Jean-Pied de Port is less than an hour drive away and free private parking is available on site.

Bathroom with bath but very small separate shower ! Hands towel dirty, separate toilet room other side of the room off sitting area with bidet but no sink to wash your hands ..... which is not good in the middle of the night! Over priced for area and breakfast extra at 18 euros, which we did not take! May had been better if Breakfast was included in the price of 145 euros !

The staff seemed timid and not very relaxed. We were disappointed with the attitude of the proprietor; she was both indifferent and rather curt. We only tried one evening meal, which was beautifully presented but sadly lacking in vegetables. We would have liked to see more variety on the menu; including more vegetarian choices.

“Beatiful hotel in a picturesque village in the heart of the French Basque region”

We thought the hotel was a bit pricey. It is a beautiful property, but the activities with in St. Etienne-Biagorry are limited (not many restaurant options other than the hotel). The hotel's restaurant is very nice, but the owner was a bit upset when we asked her what the menu would be for the second night of our stay. If price is not a big factor, and you want to stay in a nice, historic hotel in a very beautiful small village, you won't be disappointed.
