My wife and I have stayed at Landarte twice now and both times the experience was great.  The building and views are great.  Both rooms we stayed in were uniquely decorated in a style that was elegant and interesting.  The staff was welcoming and helpful.  We particularly enjoyed Mark's dry sense of humor.  Landarte is an easy walk (maybe 1 km) from town and is a good way to walk off too much food (and wine) after dinner in Zumaia.  If you are considering staying in Zumaia, you really should consider Landarte before it is gone!  Laura and Lee - Ashland, Oregon, USA.

A wonderful place to stay.

LANDARTE is a popular inn in the Basque town of Zumaia, Spain, which has frequent repeat guests, who love the beauty and comfort of the inn, it’s natural setting, ocean views, fruit trees and walking paths. Each of its bedrooms is uniquely furnished and decorated, as are the several sitting and reading areas, and the dining room. Art and history books abound and vibrant oil paintings cover the walls. The owner, Marc, who speaks English, and his friendly staff, prepare a gorgeous breakfast spread, with fresh local fruits, breads which he bakes himself, coffee, eggs and bacon and much more, to appeal to his multi-national guests.  Since we had rented a car, Marc also recommended the nearby historical town of Gitaria, which has one of the top fish restaurants in the world. From Landarte, we also drove to the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao and, another day, to San Sebastian, a large seaside city, with a great old section and shopping. It’s easy to understand why guests return again and again to Landarte!

A TREASURE CHEST OF SURPRISES!

The house is a dream, several hundreds of years old and carefully renovated. Very tastefully furnished, with a lot of pieces of art. We had a big room, very clean. But you hear all from the neighbouring rooms. Good breakfast, good recommendation for a restaurant. 
However, we hardly ever had a worse welcome. We entered the house and were nearly sent back out the house. When showing the reservation (we booked in the morning of the same day), no apologise but we learned that we could not expect that he would be sitting the whole day in front of screen to follow the new reservations. The rest of the welcome was not very much better, a pity because the house is really a dream. 

We did not really welcome

We stayed for a week in Landarte. We thought Mark was a great host, who looked after us really well and made us feel at home. The room was sparking clean and very nicely decorated with paintings from a local artist. We could walk to the beach and to the village whilst at the same time we enjoyed peace and quiet in the house and its surroundings. All in all we had a really wonderful stay and would love to come back. Highly recommended.

Wonderful stay

We really enjoyed our stay at Landarte. The old villa is located on a hill, with a beautiful view over the sea. The garden is well maintained and has some spots where you can read or relax. Generally, the area around Landarte is very peaceful. We also appreciated how clean our room was. The building itself is decorated nicely, with beautiful art, all handpicked by the owner. Breakfast is extensive (fresh fruit, different sorts of bread, eggs etc.).  We really liked that Mark gives you the feeling he’s personally attached to Landarte and is therefore sincerely hospitable and welcoming! 

We were traveling by train and therefore didn’t have a car. If you don’t mind walking a little bit uphill, this is no problem. It takes about 10/15 minutes to walk to the centre of Zumaia (which is perfectly fine after having enjoyed the local pintxos). There is a beach close by; the other beach is nicer with the Flirsch but is a bit further away (20 minutes walking or so). We can also recommend the various hikes in the surroundings of Landarte, especially the one from Deba back to Zumaia.

We would definitely recommend staying at Landarte!

Great stay at beautiful Landarte

My husband and I truly enjoyed our experience at Landarte. It is a beautifully refurbished country home -  inviting, comfortable, vibrant with color and the artwork is delightful. Breakfast was plentiful and delicious - eggs any way, breads, meats, cheeses, etc...What makes the place exceptional is the attentiveness of Mark who is the owner and host. His recommendations and tips on how to get to places were on the mark (so to speak!). I highly recommend Landarte. The place and Mark offer a unique and memorable experience.

A very fond memory!

stunning hotel in beautiful location

What's not to like about Country House Landarte?  Absolutely nothing, except that the proprietor could not guarantee sunny weather.  How lovely it would have been to sit out on the hill and enjoy a glass of wine and the view from the restored farm house's terrace.  As it was, we had to make due with the beautifully appointed interior -- from the lower level sitting room to the upper salons -- both filled with comfortable sofas, crowded with colorful paintings, and stocked with a collection of art books that would make a librarian weep with envy. Landarte is a place that makes one want to linger, browsing books and just soaking up luscious ambiance.  Our room on the ground floor (#1) was huge and looked out over the slope to Zumaia and the coast. The rather dark photos on the internet really do not do the bright and cheerful room justice (even in the rain).  While a generous continental breakfast in the room is included in the rate, do opt for the wonderful breakfast is the cheerful dining room. The home-made bread is worth the entire meal which included juice, fruit, yoghurt, to-order eggs, and delicious coffee.  GPS directions made reaching the house very easy, and we were able to return to town for an early supper.  Unfortunately, the fish restaurant at the nearby port was closed on Thursday, the traditional Pinxos-grazing night. I wish we had planned a couple of down-time days to coincide with our time in Gipuzkoa Province, but there is just too much to see in the area.  In retrospect, however, we could have based at Landarte for a couple of days and done some day trips rather than our pre-designed "circle tour."  Hind sight is wonderful.

In town we tried twice to join a boat trip to view the Geopark karst formations in Zumaia, but the wind was too high.  The only walking tour was given in Spanish without the guidebook-advertised English audio guide (only on the boat).  We would have been better off not waiting for the rather expensive Spanish tour and taking an independent walk along the beach and on the hills.  Pick up a map at the Tourist Info Center.  By all means visit the Ekain Berri cave paintings at Zestoa.  Again, the guide book was wrong - one can drive directly to the reproduction cave once you obtain a ticket at the Zestoa Tourist Info (which closes for a mid-day break).  We did not visit Altamira, but I cannot imagine the tour could have been any better.  We had our guide, John, entirely to ourselves as we first walked through in dim-lighted silence. Then, we repeated the experience following John's imaginative computer-generated, flickering "torch-light" tour to witness what the artists themselves saw as they painted the walls.  He had to keep reminding us that we were in a reconstruction, not the original.  Just down the road at Getaria is the Balenciaga Museum which was, unfortunately, undergoing installation of a new exhibit so that only one room was open (entrance fee waived).  Also nearby is the impressive Loiola Sanctuary at Azpeitia (birthplace of Ignatius Loyola), and a bit further afield La Antigua Hermitage (Zumarraga), the most spiritual spot on our journey. Don't miss it, and don't hurry past Country House Landarte.

What's not to like

Landarte and Mark as host/owner offer a unique experience. The location is terrific with a splendid view on the sea and the village of Zumaia. It is surrounded by a spacious garden. The house is artfully decorated with much attention for detail. Everything fits, from Bed to Breakfast. Mark's warm welcome and attentive attitude make a stay at Landarte more than memorable. He knows the right places to visit, ranging from restaurants in Zumaia to San Sebastian, including the proper golf courses and hiking trails. The "Flysch" is just one truly fantastic example.

Many thanks Mark!

Lovely Place

We stayed here for 4 nights and found this haven on the hillside above Zumaia to be quiet, elegant, spacious and relaxing. Mark was very attentive to all his guests and thoughtfully provided us with fresh milk for tea. The art is stunning and there are comfortable and beautiful upstairs seating areas for guests to curl up and relax in, and a balcony with a view of the sea, as well as garden areas to sit. It is so secluded and rural we even met a deer on the driveway when returning by car one afternoon..... Mark knows the best places to eat in Zumaia and Getaria so save yourself bother and take his advice. I would strongly recommend Landarte for your stay.
