Hôtel Chantaco Golf & Wellness 4* —
Just for you:
- Complimentary parking
- Complimentary late check-out until 1 pm
Its 24 individually furnished rooms each have their own character, drawing on the property's history as one of the Basque Coast's most quietly celebrated addresses since the 1960s. This is a hotel for travellers who appreciate a sense of place, where the Basque countryside, the golf course and the town are all within easy reach, but there is every reason to stay put.
Your room —
Choose between a stay in a Privilege Room or a Family Room.
Privilege Room (20 m²)
The Privilege Room blends natural tones with traditional Basque character, and comes with a private bathroom, minibar and a balcony or terrace looking out over the gardens or the Rhune mountains.
Family Room (25 m²)
The Family Room carries the same natural tones and Basque character as the rest of the hotel, with a private bathroom, minibar and a balcony or terrace overlooking the gardens or mountains. Generously laid out for those travelling with children, it offers the comfort of extra room without sacrificing any of the property's quiet charm.
Your dining choices
This is a bed and breakfast stay.
The bar and terrace at Le Chantaco set the tone for the day from the outset, with a generous breakfast served each morning in the dining room, by the fireplace, or on the terrace overlooking the gardens and the Rhune mountains.
As the day winds down, the same terrace becomes a relaxed spot for Basque tapas and pintxos, while the lounge offers a quieter corner for a glass of wine away from the afternoon sun.

Optional extras —
1 green fee at Le Chantaco golf course
Visit Golf de Chantaco, one of the most prestigious golf courses in Europe and a place steeped in history (the birthplace of the Lacoste family). Located right next to your hotel, this undulating 18-hole course is technically demanding and features several water hazards; it is divided into two sections: nine holes set amidst rolling, wooded terrain and nine holes featuring water obstacles. The view of the Rhune massif is magnificent.
