How cute isn't this little place! Arguibel is a Boutique B&B / tiny very personal hotel in Guéthary just south of Biarritz. The building is in white and red, like most classic Basque villas in this picturesque area, and it's surrounded by green fields. Walking down to the beach takes around 20 minutes. If you drive it takes 5. François, the friendly owner of Arguibel - who I think is the man behind the interior design (which is truly charming) - also mentioned that he has a few bikes if you feel like borrowing them. If you love riding bikes uphill, you could in theory go to Biarritz on a bike, but I would never do it. Going by car to Biarritz takes 20 minutes. (The cost for a cab one way is 15-30€ depending on if the driver charge both ways or not. Confusing.) We had booked room 63 and was very happy with it. Great products (shower gel etc) too. At least one of the days you're staying at Arguibel, you have to try their breakfast. It's 16€ per person, beautiful and huge. French but huge. You will understand what I mean when you see it. Arguibel is also within walking distance from Guéthary's two 1 star Guide Michelin restaurants. We had the weekday lunch menu at Briketenia (35€) and it was a m a z i n g. I'm super happy with choosing to stay in Guéthary instead of Biarritz. read more
