The same owner family runs the house, turned into a Bed & Breakfast more than 25 years ago. Even though we remain close by, we usually close ETXATOA for the hard winters of Oderitz. Nevertheless, if you still want to come over to enjoy winter from Oderitz, just give us a call and you could even talk us into open ETXATOA for you. Few sensations are more joyful than getting inside a warm ETXATOA, with its fireplace running, after a morning walk through our snowed forests. Keeping our ancestral culture's values very present, we live in Nature with a maximum equilibrium and sustainability, since endless generations back. And for the clients that visit us and commit themselves with trying it, we give them an oak shoot (quercus robur), so they take home with them a little piece of us which, with some caring love, will live along them for the rest of their lives. We´ve already shared more than 150 oaks, all over the planet.

Oderitz, our endearing little town in the mountains, has just 55 inhabitants and is located on the high side of the Larraun valley, at almost 800 m of altitude. Lekunberri and Irurtzun are just 5 miles away where you can take the highways that, injust 20-30 minutes, will take you to Iruña (Pamplona), Donosti (San Sebastián).
