HNAV5, Amaiur, Spanish Pyrenees and Catalunya
Set in a peaceful spot surrounded by lush, green mountain scenery with the pretty whitewashed houses of the village below, this small yet elegant hotel is located in historic Amaiur, one of the loveliest of the many delightful villages for which the valley of Baztan is justly famous.
The village's strategic position, at the foot of the Otsondo mountain pass, has led to its being the scene of historic battles and nowadays makes it the perfect base to explore the delightful Valley of Baztan, make forays into the French Pays Basque just a short drive away, or head south to Pamplona, the provincial capital.
The palace has been recently re-opened and completely restored in harmony with its original architecture of characteristic local red stone with grand proportions and stately arches, for which it is listed as part of the Historical Heritage of Navarra. Yet there's no compromise to guests' comfort with spacious rooms where modern furnishings and fittings tastefully combine with noble materials and stonework.
The friendly owners will help you get the most out of your visit and can help out with cultural and gastronomic tips, routes for walkers and nature lovers and local companies offering adrenaline fuelled adventure sports in the valley.

Buffet breakfast is served in the restaurant with fresh, home-made and local produce including jams, cheeses and chocolates from local artisan producers.
A menu of snacks ('picoteo') and tapas is available from the bar which has a small terrace where you can sit out and enjoy the views.
In the village there's a local bar serving tapas and snacks and the old watermill which serves talos (flat, unleaved bread made with cornflour milled on the premises) - not to be missed!
