Aizkolarienea
About
At the heart of the Salazar Valley, where the Navarrese Pyrenees raise their wooded ridges above slate rooftops, Ochagavía seems suspended between two worlds: that of still-living Basque traditions — the aizkolaris, those athlete-woodcutters whose name inspired this house — and that of an unspoiled nature beckoning you outdoors. It is here, beside the clear waters of the Anduña river, that Aizkolarienea welcomes you.
The cottage opens onto a garden with a covered porch, ideal for firing up the barbecue after a day in the woods. Cyclists find everything they need from the outset: a secure space to store their bikes, a restorative shower, and a host, Marivi, whose attention to every detail is universally praised — five stars out of five, confirmed by 57 reviews, leave no doubt as to the warmth of the welcome. From the moment you arrive, she points you toward the best restaurants in the village, little-known trails and local producers, turning every stay into an authentic immersion rather than a simple overnight stop.
The house itself is designed for a group's comfort: generous sleeping arrangements, a fully equipped kitchen, and living spaces where it is a pleasure to gather in the evening, maps spread across the table and Navarrese cheese shared among all. Through the windows, the river follows its quiet course, and the deep green of the beech trees is a reminder that the Irati Forest — one of the largest beech-fir forests in Europe — is just a few kilometers away. Hiking, mountain biking, wildlife watching: the itinerary writes itself.
What guests take away from Aizkolarienea is not only the memory of a beautiful house. It is that of a village where time truly slows down, of the sound of water beneath the window in the early morning, and of the rare feeling of having been genuinely welcomed — not merely accommodated. One of those stays people talk about long afterward, already looking for a way to come back.

100% Recommended! The house, the surroundings, Marivi... We had a wonderful few days in this house and in this beautiful village. Marivi's attention from the very first moment was outstanding; her kindness, attentiveness, and the delicious welcome gift were priceless. The house is very spacious, with everything you could need, very clean and welcoming—you feel right at home. Wi-Fi and parking for residents are very close by. The bedrooms are very spacious and the mattresses are very comfortable. It has beautiful views of the river and a garden where you can spend pleasant evenings in the cool shade. We will definitely be back. Thank you, Marivi, it was a pleasure meeting you and enjoying your home. See you soon!
100% recommended. The house has all the amenities, including a garden with a porch perfect for a barbecue. The location is ideal, with views of the river. Plus, it's close to the Irati Forest, where the walks are spectacular. And Mariví is incredibly friendly and welcoming. We'll definitely be back.
We stayed at this rural guesthouse during our bike tour of the area, and the experience couldn't have been better. They made us feel right at home: space to store our bikes, local food recommendations, and friendly, attentive service. The surroundings are spectacular, and the accommodation is comfortable and welcoming. Without a doubt, a perfect place for cyclists and nature lovers. We'll be back!
La casa es de 10! Una casa con absolutamente todo lo necesario para pasar un fin de semana perfecto con familia o amigos. Marivi nos ha atendido genial y nos ha puesto facilidades tanto a la llegada y a la salida. Sin duda, repetiremos pronto.
A charming, beautiful, and welcoming country house; perfect for groups. Overlooking the river and close to hiking trails.
