7 of us stayed in the Besiberri over the Feb half term week. We have skied several times in Baqueira but accommodation in the main resort area is not great, and options for eating out almost non existent. So this time we decided to stay in Arties, about 10 min drive down the mountain from the main lifts. It was a very good decision - the Besiberri is a small family run affair, but the hotel and rooms were spotless and beautifully comfortable, I don't think I have ever been in a hotel with better housekeeping. Immaculate is the word. Breakfasts were simple but very good (fruit, cereals, and an option of scrambled eggs with or without bacon every morning. Limited choice but always a great start to the day. The public sitting areas in the hotel were very comfortable and the bar very pleasant for aperitifs or nightcaps. Parking about 50 yards up the road was perfectly OK. Arties is a very pretty little village with a lovely old church and plenty of options for eating out - the best place was the Tapas bar in the main square (actually Pintxos, not Tapas). Always packed but hugely efficient staff always managed to find us a table, and extremely friendly and buzzy. There is a bus service between Arties and Baqueira every day, but the timings were not great (one an hour) so we drove up and down each day, a 10-min drive each way, no problems with free parking at both ends. We would highly recommend the Besiberri to anyone skiing in Baqueira and it's probably a lovely base for the area in summer as well. Everyone there was super friendly and we were very well looked after. The only thing is that it took a very long time to get our reservations all confirmed online, they are not superfast at responding to email enquiries or questions, but it all worked out just fine in the end. We would definitely return.
