Caserío Pikamendi

Caserío Pikamendi is an intimate hotel in Getaria, on the Basque coast: a 250-year-old farmhouse with eight rooms and never more than fifteen guests, set among txakoli vineyards above the Cantabrian Sea. Original beams and stone walls hold centuries of quiet. Breakfast is included, the pool and veranda look out to the sea, and the whole caserío can be reserved for families and groups. The pintxo bars of San Sebastián are 30 minutes away, the Guggenheim in Bilbao just over an hour.

ACCOMMODATION

Rooms

Eight rooms and suites, never more than fifteen guests. Each one is different, shaped by the caserío itself: original beams, stone walls and a character of its own. Four look across the txakoli vineyards to the sea and the Ratón de Getaria; two open onto the pool. The Pool Suite has two en-suite bathrooms, a natural choice for families or friends travelling together, and the Accessible Double Room has a fully accessible bathroom.

Every room has its own bathroom, most with both a bathtub and a shower, and fast Wi-Fi throughout. Spread across three floors, the rooms keep their privacy, while the library, the fireplace room and the veranda are where guests of the caserío come together.

ACCOMMODATION

Social Settings

On the ground floor, the dining room is where breakfast is served each morning. Beside it are two living rooms: one lined with books, the other gathered around the fireplace, made for quiet afternoons. The snooker room comes alive in the evening, and the veranda looks out over the vineyards to the Cantabrian Sea.

Outside, the pool and fitness room sit among the gardens. To the northeast, an outdoor table and a second lounge make a relaxed setting for long summer evenings together.

EXPERIENCES

Culture, cuisine and the natural beauty of the Basque Country

The caserío is a quiet base for discovering the Basque Country. Below, in Getaria, fish is grilled at the harbour, txakoli is poured from the surrounding vineyards, and a museum celebrates the town’s own Cristóbal Balenciaga. The beaches of Getaria and Zarautz are close by, the cliffs of the Zumaia Flysch a short drive along the coast. San Sebastián and its pintxo bars are 30 minutes away; the Guggenheim in Bilbao, just over an hour.

EXPERIENCES

Immerse yourself in the rhythm of the land and sea

For days outdoors, the coast is close at hand. In Getaria, a short climb leads to the lighthouse on the Ratón, the headland you see from the caserío’s windows. The Camino de Santiago del Norte passes through the town, and the coastal path to Zarautz makes an easy walk or bike ride along the sea. Zarautz’s long beach is one of the best places to learn to surf in Spain, boats leave Getaria’s harbour for sailing and fishing trips, and the cliff paths of the Basque Coast Geopark run from Zumaia to Deba.
