"The French Basque Country village of Sare, amid the peaks of the Pyrénées barely a mile from the Spanish border, is the setting for the Hôtel Arraya, a 17th-century structure that formerly served as a waystation for travelers on pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostela, and has been a family-owned hotel since the middle of the 20th century. While it’s seen some technical upgrades in the intervening years, the spirit and aesthetic of the place would look familiar enough to guests from any era; the exterior is pure Basque Country charm and the interiors follow along in a similarly warm and cozy style." - Tablet Hotels
