Basques, beaches, beauty
We had a great stay at Anne and Keramon's beautifully converted schoolhouse. It's a great open space for a family, super clean, bbq and a cool terrace for relaxing. The location above Lekeitio, which has a great beach and loads to do, is handy for getting to lots of cool places in this part of the basque country. Finally, Anne and Keramon are great hosts, offering lots of really friendly help and advice. Go!

Back to school
We loved staying in this charming renovated rural school. It had lots of atmosphere and was extremely well appointed with everything you might need. Anne and her husband were very helpful and welcoming. We appreciated their efforts to consider the environment, all very thoughtful. The surrounding area offered things to interest everyone. We would love to return.

Excellent in every way
It was a joy to be able to stay in this beautifully renovated house with so much history! Ann and Kerman were really lovely and went out of their way to make sure we all enjoyed our stay. The house is well equipped with high quality furniture, kitchen ware, it has everything you could need. We appreciated the sensitive way they have restored this old school house using natural methods and materials where possible. The town is walking distance (though we drove with our two small kids) and enjoyed exploring its charming harbour and playing on the beach there. We loved everything about this house and are missing it already!!

Thanks, Anne!

A beautifully restored little gem especially if you like nature. Perfect
We stayed at this little gem of a property for 8 nights and could easily have stayed for another 8. Time seemed to slow down here and it is deeply relaxing. It is a beautifully restored house which has a perfect mix of the old and new. It is of such a high standard that nothing is missing - there were even drawing materials for 2 young kids. We are a family with 2 young children who love nature and it had it all - from walnuts to lemons to acorns. Our kids loved it. Unfortunately we never did manage to get up early enough to see the deer which wander around the house early in the mornings. We loved it and highly recommend it. A big thanks of appreciation to Anne and her husband for being such gracious and helpful hosts.

Wonderful holidays at Eskola 87!/Traumhafte Ferien in der ehemaligen baskischen Landschule
We had a wonderful absolute fantastic stay at Eskola 87. The house is very stylish and cosy, kitchen and bathroom equipment are very modern and the house is very clean.All four of us loved it!!! The view from the terrace and garden is superb. The landlords are very, very nice and helpful. If you want to have a very special, wonderful holiday, this is the place to go. The long trip (1400 km from Baden-Württemberg, Germany) was definitely worth it. Thank you Anne and Kerman for your hospitality. We will come back one day! Katja Wir hatten einen traumhaften Urlaub in der ehemaligen baskischen Landschule Eskola 87. Das Haus ist aufs beste modernisiert, die Einrichtung absolut gemütlich und stilvoll, Bäder und Küche sind top modern, und das ganze Haus ist sehr sauber. Der Ausblick von der Terrasse und dem Garten ist traumhaft. Alle vier waren wir begeistert von diesem Feriendomizil.Die Vermieter sind sehr, sehr nett und hilfsbereit. Der ideale Ort, um einen traumhaften Urlaub zu verbringen.Die weite Reise (von Baden-Württemberg, Deutschland) hat sich so richtig gelohnt. Liebe Anne, lieber Kerman, vielen Dank für Eure Gastfreundschaft! Wir kommen wieder. Katja .

Lovely spacious and well-equipped house in a great location
This charming old building has been recently renovated to a high standard and is very well equipped. It is situated on a hillside among fields and trees in a quiet location. Use Google maps or GPS to find it. The attractive town of Lekeitio is close, within walking distance or you can drive down the hill to the car park at the edge of town. Lekeitio has a supermarket and other shops, loads of good restaurants and bars, and two beaches. Both are clean and sandy. The one just outside town to the east is more attractive and there are a couple of cafes and some metered parking spaces. The property is about an hour from Bilbao airport and less to the motorway network. The coast is beautiful and it is worth exploring inland where there loads of waymarked paths form short strolls to multi-day expeditions. Nearby Gernika has a great produce market on a Monday. I thoroughly recommend staying here. The owner, Anne, speaks perfect English and is very friendly and helpful.
