Mirador Ardea Mendixur

I stayed here for the second time in July as a base for Ironman Vitoria-Gasteiz. Although it’s only 20 minutes from the city centre it’s an absolute haven of peace and tranquillity. With easy access to great cycling, bird reserves and a natural wildlife refuge, lovers of nature won’t be disappointed. Inside it’s modern and cool and well appointed, and Iñigo, the host, will try and make your stay as relaxed as possible. He does a lovely breakfast of fruit salad, home baked goods and toast with fresh orange and coffee. If you’re lucky he will have made one of his Basque cheesecakes. In short, it’s a great spot to relax and unwind, but you will need transport to get to restaurants and bars.

It is a very nice, well maintained, romantic place with a special touch you won't get in a chain hotel, nerby lake, very quiet, relax guaranteed! The owner is more than charming and he helped when I had a car problem!
