Casas Rurales Txikirrin - Alojamiento Grupos Selva de Irati
About
Nestled at the gateway to the Selva de Irati, one of the largest beech-fir forests in Europe, Casas Rurales Txikirrin offers several rural cottages ideal for groups looking to gather in the heart of Spanish Navarre. The property comfortably accommodates a full group by distributing sleeping arrangements across the various units, each laid out over two floors: a ground floor with a fully equipped kitchen and a living-dining room, and an upper floor with the bedrooms.
The centerpiece for group living is the shared garden-side terrace, with table and chairs, which naturally becomes the gathering point for outdoor meals, evening drinks, or simply winding down between hikes. This shared outdoor space makes up for the modest size of each individual cottage and gives the whole property room to breathe.
The setting lends itself particularly well to nature weekends with family, hiking or cycling getaways with friends, and small informal retreats for those seeking a genuine break from urban life. The Irati forest is directly accessible from the village of Villanueva de Aezkoa, which means no back-and-forth by car to reach the trails. The owners are noted as responsive and attentive — no small thing when managing the logistics of a group.
Txikirrin is also dog-friendly, which removes the usual constraint for groups traveling with dogs. In terms of amenities, the essentials are there without frills: everything needed to cook, sleep, and rest comfortably for several days.
Google rating of 4.5/5 based on 25 reviews. Worth noting: some guests found the mattresses uncomfortable, and natural light varies depending on the floor.

Small house with everything you need. The second floor is larger than the first, but less bright. The mattress and pillows were uncomfortable. The bathroom was very warm, while we were cold in the other rooms. Cleanliness left much to be desired; the floor was dirty and covered in pet hair. The dishes and cutlery were sticky. The house shares a patio and barbecue area. Parking near the house is easy, but be careful not to park on the neighbor's sidewalk, as they will make you move your car!

Spacious apartment for two people. It has a shared porch with a small garden, table, and chairs. Inside, the ground floor comprises the kitchen and living/dining room. Upstairs, a staircase leads to the first floor, which features a very large bedroom and a bathroom. Also on this floor is a balcony with a small table and two chairs, perfect for relaxing. Hiriberri is easily accessible after a 2-3 km drive along a narrow road and is close to Aribe, where there is a gas station and a small supermarket. Highly recommended.

Fantastic house, a 10 out of 10! And it's dog-friendly! With everything you need for a few days' holiday, the owner was super friendly and attentive at all times. The village is well located, with the Irati Forest (from Orbaizeta) about 25 minutes away and Ochagavía about 40 minutes away, from where you take the other road to the Irati Forest. (Another 40 minutes or so to Casas de Irati).

We were a group of 11 (adults and children) staying in Txiquirrrin III, which is on the second floor of the building. It shares common areas with the other accommodation (a barbecue and tables with chairs in the interior patio). It's a very well-equipped house (heating, kitchenware) with 5 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms, and one bedroom with an ensuite bathroom on the first floor. There's also an attic where the children had a great time. You can hear a bit of noise from the house below; thank goodness the people were polite, and it only took 15 minutes of commotion. The style is rustic and mountainous, and we were very comfortable. It's very well located for visiting the Irati Forest. The town is very small, with no supermarket, but there's a Carrefour Express in Aribe, 7/8 minutes away. Edurne, the owner, was always available for anything we asked for.

A group of 10 friends and I went, and it was a great experience. The house was very comfortable, with a cozy upstairs living room. The surrounding area is spectacular, with beautiful villages. The roads are winding but very well signposted. I highly recommend this accommodation.
