Hôtel Les Almadies

About

Les Almadies is a charming boutique hotel with 7 rooms housed in a traditional Basque house in the heart of Saint‑Jean‑de‑Luz. The hotel is located on the upper floors of a historic building and is accessed by stairs – there is no elevator. It sits on the pedestrian district of the old town, just a short walk from historic churches, the seafront promenade and local shops. The hotel offers modern amenities such as free high‑speed Wi‑Fi, a flat‑screen TV, radiant heating and a ceiling fan in every room. Breakfast is available as a buffet of fresh local produce — pastries, fruit, yogurt, cheese, charcuterie, and more — from 8 am to 10 am in the dining area or on the terrace, at a rate of €15 per person. For those interested in exploring the Basque Country, the hotel organizes hiking tours and introduces guests to regional gastronomic specialties. It is ideally situated only 25 minutes from Biarritz‑Pays‑Basque airport and 30 minutes from the Spanish border, making it convenient for day trips to Porto‑Alegre, San Sebastián, or the Pyrenees. The property accommodates couples, small families, and solo travelers. The rooms are designed for comfort and privacy, offering a cosy, intimate atmosphere that reflects the historic Basque ambiance. While the lack of an elevator means guests will climb stairs, the building’s character and thoughtful amenities compensate for this quirk.
