Casa rural Ortxixenea
About
Rural guesthouse Ortxixenea is located in Arizcun, in the heart of the Baztan Valley, in Navarre. The setting is rural and quiet, surrounded by the lush vegetation characteristic of northern Spain — an environment that stands in sharp contrast to urban bustle and the heat of the south.
The house comfortably accommodates groups of around fifteen people, as evidenced by a family of 15 members, baby included, who stayed there without any difficulty. The layout of the spaces is designed for communal living: a large kitchen capable of handling full group meals, and common areas spacious enough for everyone to find their place without the shared living becoming a burden.
This type of property is particularly well suited to multigenerational family weekends, milestone birthdays that call for an intimate yet spacious setting, retreats with friends, or small team off-sites looking to step outside the usual professional context. The tranquility of the site and its relative seclusion also make it a serious option for a low-key wedding or a celebration that is not meant to spill over into the neighborhood.
Gregorio and Mari Carmen, the owners, are present and responsive from the moment of booking. Several guests return year after year, which says something about the reliability of the experience. Managing the stay generates no friction — arrivals go smoothly, questions get quick answers.
The Baztan Valley also offers an accessible hinterland for group outings: hiking, exploring Basque villages, local gastronomy. The house works as a base of operations without constraining the itinerary.

We are a family of 15, including a baby. The experience was wonderful. Gregorio and his wife were warm and attentive. They made everything easy for us from the moment we booked. As for the house, it's beautiful, with everything very well-maintained and clean, which is essential for us. It's very well-equipped for so many people. The kitchen had everything we needed, and we were able to cook for everyone at once. We were also able to have a barbecue outside, and they provided the firewood. There were also several sizes of paella pans and a gas burner for cooking them. In short, a beautiful and meticulously maintained house with attention to every detail, an ideal place to relax and unwind, and with friendly and welcoming service. Thank you so much for the experience.
Simply wonderful, both the house and the owners, Gregorio and Mari Carmen. We came from Malaga escaping the heat 🥵 and stress, and here we truly find it. The entire Baztan Valley and the northern region of Navarre are excellent in terms of landscapes, gastronomy, and people. The house 🏡 has everything for 14 or more people: a games room, an incredible and large meadow, a barbecue, a large attic, 7 bedrooms, a large kitchen-dining room, etc. You won't be disappointed; perhaps the best rural house we've stayed in, and we've stayed in many in the North. We hope to return on another occasion.
We've been renting this house for years and honestly, it's amazing. The location is perfect, totally peaceful, and the interior is spectacular. It has a large kitchen that can accommodate many people, and a luxurious upstairs living room with a fireplace, pool table, TV, and stove.
Without a doubt, one of the best rural houses we've stayed in. Everything was very well-maintained, the owners provided everything we needed and even bought us bread on New Year's Day. It's very spacious and clean, and five families with young children were able to stay comfortably. It has good access and is very close to many excursions. We will definitely return.
A beautiful house, with every detail thought of, very spacious, in an idyllic setting; it is and will remain the best rural house we've ever stayed in. We were a group of 12 people and 3 pets in August. We found exactly what we were looking for: cool and comfortable in the middle of summer, surrounded by beautiful villages and landscapes.
