The Vibe: Contemporary country.

The Area: Near the village of Muxika, just above Guernica (Gernika in Basque). Bilbao and its Guggenheim Museum is 20km away.

Suite-Me-Up: Subdued rooms have exposed stone walls and offer views of the beautiful surrounding landscape. Art, portraying earth, heaven, sun and moon, adorns the walls. Luxuries include eco-Cocomat beds and a pillow menu.

The DNA: Hotel Urune is a charming hotel set in an 18th century house with a interesting history – where the owner can tell everything about. Carefully restored and retaining its original features, interiors are a mix of traditional and modern design. Here, enjoy “slow life”: observe, breath in, admire the beauty, the smells and the sound of the nature, far from the city. Discover something else every morning; from an unknown mountain path to famous Basque pintxos. There is a lounge area decorated with contemporary furniture around the fireplace. Outside, a terrace awaits to admire the countryside and mountains. Hiking is popular in the area and the staff can recommend interesting routes. The hotel has adopted a responsible and sustainable attitude, consuming products with a life cycle requiring fewer raw materials, water and energy and generating little waste. Also, the hotel sells locally made cosmetics, gourmet food and souvenirs,
