Cottage holiday rentals in Las Arenas, Elexalde

Antonio is a fantastic host. Super responsive and very helpful especially with recommendations for local walks and for helping with animal health certificate requirements for returning to the UK. The house was big enough for the 11 of us and there was plenty for all of us to do for the whole week we were there. Any issues we had were resolved incredibly quickly by Antonio. Just a short walk from the house is a lovely little cafe that sells baguettes, coffee and some alcohol - very reasonably priced but please note only takes cash which caught us out on our first visit. We visited Balmaseda a couple of times which has an incredible bakery which I would very much recommend. The train station is less than 5 minutes walk but we didn’t get the train whilst we were there - it may have been quicker to get to bilbao and something to check out if you visit again. Thanks for having us Antonio.

Really lovely hosts always ensuring everything was just perfect. Very thoughtful leaving little local gifts of yoghurt and fruit for us. It is a very quiet place, great views and walks close by. I would say hire car important to explore the local Urdaubai area.

Great place and very accommodating

We had a great time at Ana's place, the perfect location. Everything was clean and tidy.

We were very comfortable. Beautiful experience in a spectacular setting. very comfortable at home. If we have the chance, we'll definitely be back

Fantastic hospitality the people of Catalan are very friendly and the property was amazing but you definitely need a car to stay here as there nothing around no shops

We had a great weekend at Itxaso's place. We were very well received and received helpful recommendations about Bilbao and the surrounding area. The accommodation is very great and with several separate rooms it is perfect for larger groups. We didn't use the outdoor kitchen, but here there are good opportunities to cook some lovely meals. Would, however, highly recommend the restaurant Asador Bidegain which is 2min away from the accommodation. The only challenge we had was getting a taxi booking when we were going to the city center. The Spanish skills of the taxi drivers are very limited so calling to book a taxi was difficult. Uber and Bolt did not work In any case, we got very good help from Itxaso who drove us down to town so we could arrange a rental car. Great service!

Excellent welcome. Very comfortable and clean I recommend

The perfect and impeccable accommodation, it is just as seen in the photos. As for Aitor, the host, out of 10. Very friendly, good communication and super willing to help with whatever is needed. Totally recommended!!

Myself and my extended family (including a toddler and a baby) stayed in Lucía's place for 5 nights. We loved it. Very spacious home with a nice private outdoor area. Also a covered outdoor dining area. The house was a very close walk to Mioño and about a 30 minute walk to Castro urdiales. There was plenty of parking outside the house. I would highly recommend if you are looking for somewhere to relax with your family that feels rural but is still close to amenities. We loved our stay

Great Peaceful Location, away from the usual crowded touristy places, but with lots to do and visit in the area, for interesting and fun day trips and beach only 50 minutes away.

The house was really nice. As shown and had everything we needed. Great to be able to bring our dog, and the two outdoor spaces were a real bonus. The kitchen is very well equipped, the beds are extremely comfortable, and the shower is excellent. Restaurants nearby were very overhyped on Google. Lovely walks straight from the house or a short drive, and a lake about 20 mins away was great for a swim. We didn’t meet the owner, but communication was fast and helpful.

House with a lot of charm, in a spectacular natural environment, the beautiful and lively village and excellent treatment of María and André.

Great place in a beautiful location with views out to the mountains. Marysol was a terrific host who responded to all queries instantly. She was even able to help with transportation in and out of Bilbao on Europa League Final day. Thanks again for a great experience.

The house is spectacular, beautiful, well-equipped and with all the necessary details for a short stay that make a difference; such as coffee, sugar, oil... The environment is very nice and quiet. In addition, there is a bar right next door where you can eat or have a drink. Ana treated us incredibly well.

The place is beautiful and you have a lot of privacy as it is set back from the main home. It has everything you need to have a wonderful day. Thank you

Very good quality accommodation. We were delighted with the house and its surroundings. We didn't lack anything and if we had any problems, Egoitz solved them very quickly and accurately. Our host, Egoitz, was super friendly and super attentive (he even left us a list of places to go). The wonderful house with almost all the rooms with their own bathroom. There are several villages nearby (very nice) with everything you need to buy. And highlight the cleanliness of the house and its surroundings. In addition to the detail of the eggs that he left us from his own chickens. The children were delighted with the donkey and the sheep (an unbeatable environment). Thank you very much for everything, and if we return to Bilbao, I would already know where to stay again.

This house was absolutely breathtaking. Although it is not in a main city it is definitely close by and worth a stay. This place overlooks a beautiful vineyard and makes you feel like you're in a little oasis. The outdoor entertainment was amazing with an outdoor kitchen and barbecue that allows for wonderful nights enjoying your time. The views are incredible, the town is peaceful. Hosts were extremely kind, helpful and gave great recommendations.

Joso and his mother were wonderful hosts! This is a unique house that fits perfectly with the vibe of the Basque Country! Highly recommended!

Spacious clean home, with a large outdoor area. Fully equipped home. Peace, quiet. A home located a short distance from the beaches. Very good communication with the host. Recommended

A wonderful accommodation in a beautiful environment. Really enjoyed the tranquility, the cottage and the surroundings. Upon arrival, the fireplace was already on and there was a delicious homemade cake ready and fresh eggs. Communicated well with the host using Google Translate.

Our stay at "El Alto del Fresno" was delicious. The house is surrounded by nature and tranquility and also overlooks the sea. The house was very clean and very spacious and had everything you need. I want to particularly thank Carlos and María for their kindness and closeness in the treatment. At all times I was able to contact them and they made it easier for us to change last minute without any problem. I also want to recommend to anyone, who has not been to this region, who is approaching. Castro Urdiales is a beautiful seafaring city and in addition to having some beaches and a splendid walk, it eats well anywhere. When we return from vacation, we will certainly return to "El Alto de Fresno" :-)

Our stay was amazing. The place is great, in the middle of nature, an ideal and peaceful place to relax. A beautiful garden and a very chulo apartment. In addition, it is 10 minutes away from the beach. And what about Itziar, it's a charm, attentive to everything you ask for and even what you might need. You can tell that he does what he likes, because he also takes care of everything at the millimeter. My pleasure!
