Ellauri Hotela — Hotel in Zeanuri

We stayed 3 nights at the Ellauri Hotel and ate there every evening. ||It is a small, clean, modern, peaceful and welcoming hotel.

There was a bit of snow forecast for the hills on the day we left.|The hotel is situated in the mountains in a hamlet, within walking distance of walking trails. ||We managed without a car - the village is within walking distance but there were some roadworks that meant walking on the main road, but they are probably already finished so the alternative smaller road might be open again.||Kepi picked us up from Bilbao airport for a small fee.

Ellauri Hotel is a lovely small hotel in the mountains near Zeanuri with luxury and spacious rooms. Ours had also a jacuzzi on the terrace and beautiful views. The owners Randa and Kepa are very nice and caring people who make you feel at home. We stayed nearly two weeks and every night we enjoyed their delicious food, with local products and veggies from their own garden. The hotel is situated between three natural parks and near cities as Bilbao and Vitoria. There are also a few beautiful, natural beaches nearby. All of this you can reach by car in about 30-45 minutes. So if you love nature, culture and the beaches in the beautiful Bask country you will enjoy your stay at Ellauri hotel. It’s not the first time we’ve been here and definitely not the last! Thank you very much Randa and Kepa! Love...

Attention!!!! The photos are not true🤯 |We booked this hotel based on the photo and price. it was the most expensive hotel in the region. Arriving at check-in, we were surprised. The first thing that struck us was the disgusting smell at the reception, when we entered the room, there was also a disgusting smell from the floors and walls, as the materials and furniture's old. Jacuzzi not working, dirty water. All that was left of this place was a beautiful view. The owners must change the prices at a minimum and, in order to continue to receive guests, must restore order. |This is disrespectful to guests. |We believed the photo and were extremely...
