Hotel Katxi is a relatively new hotel built in the typical "caserío" style of the region with the deep eaves that, along with the majestic mountains and valleys, help to give the country landscape an alpine feel. The area around the hotel is green and fragrant and full of birds. This is an ideal spot to explore the hills, mountains and coast of the Basque Country as well as visiting the Guggenheim Museum and other sights of Bilbao.

The bright rooms in this delightful hotel are individually and distinctively decorated with softly upholstered furniture, comfortable beds with 100% cotton sheets, feather eiderdowns and lots of windows. There are CD and DVD players and some of the bathrooms have hydromassage baths (suite and junior suite).

The reception and lounge of the Hotel Katxi have a warm ambience with a big fireplace, music, books, films, etc. and flowers everywhere. Outside there are pleasant gardens and terrace that is ideal for sitting back with cool drink to look out on the countryside and bathe yourself in the unique light of Euskadi.

Restaurant:

Hotel Katxi grew out of the Katxi Restaurant, which first opened in 1816 and has been passed down the family from generation to generation. It is open for lunches and dinners, with a traditional menu enhanced with some more international touches. Closed Mondays and Sunday evenings.

A Word From the Owner:

"Come to Katxi to realise your dreams, lose yourself in the beauty of the area and leave the pressures of real life behind you. Our hotel motto is 'COMODIDAD, CALIDAD y CALIDEZ' (comfort, quality and warmth)."

Nearby Amenities:

Walking and cycling: The Basque Country is rich in opportunities for enjoying the great outdoors. Try the rolling hills of the countryside near the hotel, or the more mountainous terrain a little further inland (Durango, for example). Or wander along the edges of the estuary between Mundaka and Murieta.

Travel along the rugged coast of Vizcaya, visiting the pretty little fishing villages and seaside resorts along the the way (Plentzia, Bakio, Bermeo, Mundaka, for example).

Golf: As ever, you're never far from a golf course.
Surfing: Try surfing in the long waves of the estuary near Mundaka
Beaches: Lots of lovely beaches along this piece of coast. The nearest is just 15 km away.

Guernica: See the ancient tree and the slightly newer Meeting House of the Basque Parliament. There is also an interesting museum here.

Bilbao: The Guggenheim museum is the most famous attraction, and rightly so. However, take time to walk around the Casco Viejo (old quarter), see the Basque Country museum, potter down to the beach at Las Arenas, have a meal in one of the restaurants in Getxo, or ride up the funicular railway to see the old mining villages near Trapagaran.

What We Say:

Vizcaya is a perfect centre for a holiday, with so much to see and do. At Hotel Katxi you are ideally positioned with mountains to one side, sea and coastline on another and the city of Bilbao on the third. Miryam and her staff at Hotel Katxi have created a warm and welcoming little hotel that will make you feel very much at home. People who visit the Basque Country for the first time are always surprised and amazed at its variety and beauty (I was!).
