Casa Rural Zimitxu, Etxalar Overview
Casa Rural Zimitxu is located in Etxalar, Spain. Rated 9.8 out of 10 based on 9 guest reviews.
Casa Rural Zimitxu is a rural stay in Etxalar, Spain, set at Diseminado Orizki s/n, where the pace slows and the focus turns to time together. With a 9.8 guest rating from nine reviews, the strongest recurring theme is how comfortable and welcoming it feels for people who want a quiet base rather than a busy hotel scene. The shared lounge/TV area and board games and puzzles make it easy to switch from outdoor adventures to relaxed indoor downtime, and families especially appreciate having space to spread out. The shared kitchen and free wired internet add practical value for longer stays, while the terrace and outdoor furniture are a natural place to linger after a day in the Basque countryside.
Location matters here: you’re within reach of major regional draws such as FICOBA in Irún (about 28 km) and Saint-Jean-de-Luz (around 35 km), so day trips are straightforward even if you’re staying rural. Nature lovers can plan around Txindoki Mountain (roughly 22 km) and Urbasa Natural Park (about 40 km), both good targets for hiking and scenic drives. Check-in runs from 5:00 PM to 9:00 PM, and check-out is at 12:00 PM, which helps structure the day if you’re moving between walks and sightseeing.
Casa Rural Zimitxu is best for families, small groups, and couples who want a calm countryside setting with shared spaces for social time, plus the flexibility of self parking (surcharge) and nearby offsite parking options with discounted rates.
