Logis Hôtel Etchemaïté

A smart hotel in a small pretty village - The common spaces and lounging areas are small however the reason you should stay here is because of the food! The set menu (€38) was amazing value for the quality of food.

This is the 4th or 5th time we've used the Etchemaite for our Pyrenees cycling tour and the quality has been consistent over all these years. The hotel has recently been handed down to the next generation, if we understood correctly, but we can confirm that the new chef (Pierre's son) is great!

So you request a reservation 4 days ago, you get a wrong offer 3 days later, you tell them they responded to the wrong request, can happen. Then they make you a new offer the next morning, you accept, you then want to make the bank transfer for the deposit and you get a note. Some group made a booking via Booking.com last night and the rooms are no longer available for you. That is not how you do business!!! First come, first serviced! You cannot withdraw an offer made and accepted!!

We visited only the restaurant, which was phenomenal. The food was extremely high quality and one could tell that the ingredients were fresh and local. Every dish was phenomenal, especially the tuna starter and for me the desserts. Food was extremely beautifully presented too. Furthermore, the food was not too expensive, with the three course menu for €38 and two for €28. The staff were very friendly and helpful and the atmosphere was great, and the panoramic views were stunning.

The food is superb. I think the restaurant deserves a Michelin star. You can not beat the view from the restaurant's wide bay windows. A beautiful tree filled valley rich in green hues. the service from the owners is warm and heartfelt. We stayed in a room 14, with a balcony and view directly of the valley. Id recommend this is you can get it. The village is quintessential French but with its unique Basque charm. Lots of hikes close by. This is our second visit here and we will return.

We stayed March 18th, 2017 with our two kids. We found the hotel to be clean, well-maintained and ideally situated. It was rustic (charming rustic, not like falling-apart rustic, lol), and the rooms were remodeled and had beautiful bathrooms. Make sure you ask for a room that looks out over the valley/mountain, it is breathtaking to wake up to such magnificent countryside! Our room had plenty of space for the fold-out crib we brought. ||||The service was courteous, helpful and friendly. Dinner was reasonable and delicious! Appetizers, amuse-bouche, starter, main and dessert for €22, not including drinks. ||||Close to several hikes. We did Passerelle d'Holzarte and Gorges de Kakuetta (both a MUST.) and the town in which the hotel is situated is quaint, picturesque and tranquil. ||||We LOVED our little weekend get-away here. Highly recommend.

Having comminucated in advance with Pierre and his family that run the hotel they could not be more helpful. ||They were able to provide all we needed for our cycling group including special menus, bike storage and drying facilities. ||The food was outstanding but the service was better. ||The location is a considerable way up towards Port de Larrau with wonderful views. ||This is off the route but the restaurant was full of diners including ourselves. ||Breakfast was fresh and served early so our group could depart. ||The rooms were well received by all our group.||||Thank you for an excellent stay after a tough day cycling. The following day was even tougher but all remarked how good the stay was at this hotel.

An amazing place where rooms are lovely and restaurant absolutely delicious (and consciously sourced) . Staff is professional and friendly. I really recommend!
