"In the hills above Bidart, in the French Basque country, is an establishment named for the brothers who conceived it. Les Frères Ibarboure are Xabi and Patrice, a savory chef and a pastry chef, respectively, whose 13-room hotel stands on five acres of parkland. It’s a lovely place to stay even taken simply as a hotel, thanks to its handsome modern rooms and the quiet oasis that is its outdoor pool. But the main attraction, as you might well imagine, is the restaurant, where the brothers ply their trade alongside an all-star team of supporting staff." - Tablet Hotels
