Rural hotel, a cut board. It is not a redundant definition but a declaration of principles, providing bed and mantel, but not only this. Luis and Begoña will make you feel as at home. The Gorbeia natural park... at the background, the mist surrounds the forest. Around, half hectare of garden puts you in the contact with the nature. From the own identity of the building, everything which stays over the roots of the zone: roof of two waters, glass viewpoint, brick wall, stone and wooden rafter. Typical new floor with planned design. The inner design has different styles: colonial, Victorian, Provencal, and French. Colourful glazers. Strong stairs. It smells of new, but the view gets us to the past. The lounge has Italian tapestry and mahogany furniture. A glass arch relieves the country look. The guestrooms provide the simplicity and the friendly power of the country-side, but with the character which offers a heavy and hand-worked woodwork.
The Gorbeialdea region, comprised, among others, by the districts of Arantzazu, Areatza, Artea, Dima, Orozko, Otxandio, Ubide, Zeanuri and Zeberio, is located between the Ibaizabal valley, on the South and West with Alava lands and on the East with the Duranguesado, thus taking up the southernmost part of the province of Bizkaia. It is one of the regions with the fewest number of inhabitants, a thing that is also reflected in the population living there, of a low density and of a rural character in its most part. An area of deep contrasts, mastered by the beauty of its landscapes and the uniqueness of its ecosystems, which has been described as one of the areas that best pictures the deep, rural and picturesque Bizkaia. The special location of the area where the Mediterranean and Atlantic climates and conditions merge have catered to the growth of extremely rare vegetal and animal species within a reduced space. All this enhanced by a diverse surrounding with landscapes of a great interest. These characteristics have influenced the creation of the Natural Parks of Gorbeia and Urkiola which extend over large areas of the aforementioned districts.

The rooms at the Etxegana hotel are in line with the elegant and sober style of the hotel, but they are characterized by their spaciousness, exclusivity and a careful decoration - even the slightest detail has been taken care of. Every room is different and unique furniture and ornaments have been used in their decoration. Despite an eclectic touch, the Colonial, Victorian and Provencal French styles prevail.

Etxegana is located in Zeanuri, in the Ipiñaburu Neighborhood. The main routes of access to the area are the highway A-68 Bilbao - Vitoria and the national routes N-240 and N-622 that also connect to Bilbao and Vitoria.   Download GPS | Download Google Earth (KML)
