Hotel Nafarrola

Hotel Nafarolla is a wonderful experience, and a great way to “getaway”. From the patio is a picture perfect view of the town of Bermeo against the backdrop of the sea. We enjoyed sitting on the deck looking out to the surrounding farmland, doing nothing but savoring our morning coffee each day. Its so peaceful.||The hotel offers meals to hotel guests, the Welcome Tasting Dinner is fantastic, some of best fish and crab Ive ever had, the sauces were amazing. We did the tasting dinner the first night, which was a great way to get to know the menu for the rest of the stay. What you come to realize is each dish, however humble sounding, is a surprise in flavors and textures made with so much care. There is an extensive wine list, reasonably priced, we stuck with Txakoli from the local area. With their dessert, there was pairing with either Late Harvest Txakoli or Iced Cider. Delicious. ||The staff are super helpful with nearby local gems, and how to access.||A day of venturing out to the coast, going to the famous site where scenes from Game of Thrones had been filmed (San Juan de Gatxelegatxe). You need to book a free reservation to actually walk to the monastery building, and often walk-ins are accepted from noon onward, but you can also walk alongside the coast, for spectacular views and picnicing , the hotel can prepare a picnic basket.||Going to Zumaia for a Geopark boat tour along the coast and a look at the Flysch, which is also famous for GOT locations but also helped date the dinosaur extinction period. ||Before arriving at the hotel, we had gone to the Txakoli Museum nearby, a small exhibit, which has good overview of the Basque regions, the types of Txacoli, labels (green versus black). It was handy to get to know these grapes, I never heard of before. The hotel restaurant website has a cool app that allows you to compare their cellar selections in details.||So many things to do around this area, and come home to the hotel to eat really well. We will be back!|We will be back

The hotel and the rooms were absolutely beautiful. The staff were a particular strength, so welcoming and eager to help with all enquiries and anything needed. The breakfasts in particular were excellent and we looked forward to those each morning. |As we are pescetarian (and eat fish etc but not meat) we were a little disappointed at the number of choices given on the menu, when there was actually only one fish dish available in fact as a main course. Having said that, the quality of the food for dinner was again fantastic, and we did nevertheless very much enjoy those also. The desserts were particularly good, as well as the efforts to accommodate our autistic son's diet. A super stay overall and would absolutely recommend.

It is difficult to put into words what an exceptional and beautiful experience it is staying at Hotel Nafarrola. The place itself is so beautiful it is more like a work of art than a hotel. Then the food is truly extraordinary - the quality of the ingredients and the cooking made every meal a glorious event in its own right. Above everything else though, the warmth of the welcome and the care with which Josu, Mikel and the whole team looked after us was what made our stay one of if not the best family holidays we have ever had.

We really enjoyed our short stay at Nafarrola. Everything (room, food, service) was superb and Josu couldn't have been more helpful. He gave us lots of information about local places to visit and even provided a ticket for the local train.|Definitely would recommend. (and the views are amazing!)

Lovely boutique hotel! We had the change of having “a room with a view” but in general, the area is wonderful. The hotel is not that far from Bermeo so it offers the perfect combination of being at the Basque countryside that is great for hiking and biking, while being close enough to visit the cities or beaches. ||Very friendly, accommodating staff.|Great food & wines with a focus on local produce. I absolutely recommend to stay for dinner (try the tasting menu)!

Fabulous setting, room, bed, bathroom and staff. We ate our breakfasts and the tasting dinners every night - they were incredible, and a great example of Basque food. Michelin star quality. The atmosphere was amazing. We hope to return. 10/10

What a fantastic stay! This hotel, nestled in the hills above Bermeo, immediately impressed us with its welcoming atmosphere and attentive staff.||The welcome dinner was a highlight, featuring delicious local ingredients and wine that truly captured the essence of the region. Breakfast was equally impressive, with generous and freshly prepared options to start our day.||Our room was spacious and comfortable, complete with a large private terrace. We highly recommend this hotel for an exceptional experience!
