Enjoy a unique European culture with a holiday home in Basque Country
Rent a holiday home in the Basque Country to uncover one of France's best kept secrets. Long overshadowed by the Bordeaux wine regions to its north, picturesque Provence to its east and Atlantic Spain to its south, a holiday rental in the Basque Country opens up a world that seems too good to remain undiscovered. From the Pyrenees to the Atlantic, the Basque Country takes in jagged mountains, rolling pastures and pristine beaches in a region populated by towns and villages showcasing a culture that is entirely its own.
Glitz and glamour with a holiday rental in Biarritz
The jewel in the Basque crown is the sunny seaside town of Biarritz. Surfers will revel in the waves off Biarritz's long sandy beach, which is guarded by a line of glamorous restaurants and the town's iconic casinos. With its winding streets and balconies offering picturesque views of the sparkling Atlantic, a holiday apartment in the quaint old town of Biaritz promises more than a luxurious beach holiday. A trip to nearby Bayonne reveals dozens of architectural attractions and historical sites, above all its 14th century Gothic cathedral.
A holiday home on the culinary map
The Basque language is totally unique and belongs to no other language group. The same could almost be said about Basque food which displays influences from France and Spain in its own culinary tradition which celebrates the high quality of the local produce. Gastronomy is an undoubted highlight of any holiday house or holiday apartment in the Basque Country. Rent a car and a holiday house in the countryside as a great way to uncover the Basque Country's tasty treats. Simply explore the nearby villages for tangy local sheep cheeses, pay a visit to St.Jean-Pied-de-Port and savour its fresh seafood or relax among the vineyards and hills of Irouleguy, sipping the region's AOC protected red wine. Book a holiday rental in the Basque Country for a taste of something that can't be found elsewhere in France.
