Artetxe - Bilbao

This charming, Basque farmhouse has been carefully converted into an attractive, rural hotel, enjoying stunning panoramic views over the regional capital of Bilbao. Set 3 km outside of Bilbao city centre, the Hotel Artetxe is located on a hilltop offering views over the smart coastal city below. The hotel buildings were converted to the hotel by the Artetxe family, who continue to run the hotel. Nowadays it blends original, typically Basque features with a fashionable, minimalist style and modern amenities such as flat-screen TVs and air conditioning. Enjoy traditional regional cuisine in the hotel’s own restaurant, Asador Artetxe, serving top-quality meat and fish dishes followed by tasty, home-made pastries. This attractive venue is open for lunch and dinner on weekdays.

Take the 3 km journey into Bilbao to visit the city’s many cultural sights. These include the unique Guggenheim Museum, Fine Art Museum, Euskalduna venue and the San Mames football stadium. Frequent bus services run from the hotel into the city.
