About
Hotel‑Restaurant Arraya is a family‑run 4‑star gem nestled in the heart of the historic Basque village of Sare. Originally a 16th‑century guesthouse on the Camino de Santiago, the property has been lovingly restored and expanded by the Fagoaga family for three generations, offering 15 rooms that combine rustic Basque charm with contemporary comfort. Each chambre features elegant décor, a private balcony or terrace, and modern amenities, making it an ideal choice for families, couples, and small groups seeking authentic Basque hospitality. The on‑site restaurant, La Table d’Arraya, showcases regional cuisine crafted from locally sourced ingredients. Dishes such as foie gras, regional trout, and hearty stews are prepared in a warm, garden‑view setting, complemented by an extensive wine list featuring Basque reds, whites, and sparkling varieties. A beautiful terrace provides al fresco dining in the summer and a cosy ambiance beneath plane trees during cooler months. Guests also enjoy a heated outdoor pool overlooking the surrounding mountains, a tranquil garden, and a bar for relaxed evenings. Whether staying overnight or simply dining, visitors are welcomed by bilingual staff and can book directly through the Arraya website. The property embodies the welcoming spirit of the Basque countryside, inviting travelers to experience traditional hospitality in a picturesque setting.
