Caserío Pikamendi
Nestled in the lush, rolling hills above the historic fishing town of Getaria, Caserío Pikamendi is a beautifully restored 18th-century Basque farmhouse with over 250 years of history woven into its stone and timber. Originally built as a traditional farmhouse, the property later served as a small foie gras factory in the 1980s before being thoughtfully transformed into a charming guest house in the 1990s.
Set in a secluded, tranquil location, Pikamendi offers stunning views of the Cantabrian Sea and provides a serene retreat that blends rustic character with modern comfort. Surrounded by nature, yet just minutes from the birthplace of navigator Juan Sebastián Elkano and fashion icon Cristóbal Balenciaga, the house is ideally positioned for cultural exploration.
Whether you’re savouring local cuisine, discovering world-class museums in nearby San Sebastián or Bilbao, or simply relaxing in the peaceful privacy of the countryside, Caserío Pikamendi is a gateway to the rich heritage, gastronomy, and natural beauty of the Basque Country.
