A Hidden Gem with Stunning Views and Exceptional Cuisine 🌿🍷 My stay at Hotel Argia in Hasparren, France was an unforgettable experience. Nestled in the heart of the beautiful Basque Country, this charming hotel offers not only breathtaking views but also warm hospitality and some of the best meals I’ve ever had. From the moment I arrived, I was struck by the peaceful setting and the kindness of the staff. The hotel is beautifully maintained, with comfortable, stylish rooms that look out over the surrounding hills and the quaint rooftops of Hasparren. It’s the kind of place where time seems to slow down in the best way.

Hasparren is a humble village but Hotel Argia is a luxury oasis. Marie(the owner) made us feel at home and like we were part of the family. She went out of her way to help us communicate with the airlines to locate lost luggage. Breakfast and dinner were a treat and the room was well fitted and comfortable.

Stayed here for two nights. Everything was good, even the pool was heated. The room was comfortable, very clean, modern and very well equipped. During our stay we ate breakfast, lunch and dinner in the restaurant and all were excellent. Very well looked after by the team and owners. Very good value for money. Would definitely stay here again

From the moment we arrived it felt like home. Marie the owner was behind the bar, busy serving lunch when I asked where to check-in she said “just around the corner of the bar, I’ll be there to get you settled in a minute” Once we got our old style keys we knew we felt like we were in a country inn and bar in the UK. But don’t worry the hotel has solid WiFi and all the modern trappings. I folded the mirrors on our car and inched between centuries old walls to the rear oasis of the inn. A roomy parking lot with 1 makeshift EV spot that doubles as handicapped parking. It overlooks a beautiful pool and poolside bar. The owners Marie and Jean-Baptiste’s house is just beyond the pool through the garden. There is no elevator so the luggage was a bit of schlep up 3 flights of stairs but well worth it to arrive in our somewhat small, yet very comfortable king room overlooking the Basque countryside. There is no Nespresso machines but no need either as Frédérique, la gouvernante, or one of her team will gladly bring Café Crème and Cappus to your room anytime, day or night. Because everyone can do everything in this family run team, she also gladly brought us towels and a chilled bottle of Rosé in a bucket stand with glass wine glasses by the pool! Sacrilege in North America, Gotta love France, they do everything in style, glassware at the beach, at the pool, none of this sissy plastic. Better to have one person per year cut themselves on broken glass than hundreds punished by poor tasting wine and beer in scratched platic containers. We were at Argia for three nights exploring St-Jean de Luz, St Jean de Pied de Port and San Sebastián Spain and were always happy to get home for lunch or dinner or by the pool at Argia. The burgers on the terrace were delicious as was the magret de canard if you felt more upscale. L’entrecôte et frites with jambon de boyonne and croquettes for dinner were delicious. The Irouléguy Xut wines were flowing and reasonably priced as was the beer on tap. They had made to order eggs and delicious bacon along with the croissants, baguettes, fruit salad and yogurt crumbles in the morning to get you on your way exploring the Basque countryside. A special thank you to Frédérique and all the team for such a warm welcome and service. We will be back!

Great place to stay! A wonderful place, in the middle of the Pyrenees, 30 minutes from the sea. The food is great! The breakfast is French and simple. The croissants are the best I've ever had. Good clean rooms, great pool and just a great place for everyone.

Family owned (three generations I think) and run hotel, with excellent hospitality and staff. Good, clean and quiet rooms with thoughtful touches, good regional food, a lovely pool, all at a very reasonably price. A delight! (Worth mentioning is the car park access might be quite tight for a very large car, but I’m sure they have a solution for that)

It is such a refreshment to stay a few days in a hotel well-run by a family. We loved the mini-apartment with two rooms for the 4 of us, the pool, and especially the restaurant. We were looking for a hotel “off the beaten path”, to break our long trip between Portugal and France in two. I think we found it.
