Les Collines Iduki

The little village itself is very cute, however the properties could use a bit of renovation. We didn’t have a ‘clean’ feeling when we entered. For example, there is no hood in the kitchen when you cook, leaving the smell of food in the property unless you open all windows. Moreover, we had a few unwanted guests in the bathroom. We didn’t use the pool, however it looked nice.

We really liked the charming cottages and the looks of the resort. The inside could use some more charm (some art maybe?) and updating of the appliances. We would also have benefited from bug screens for the windows as there were many bugs, and the home can get hot. I can recommend the location as a good alternative to staying in Bayonne or Biarritz.

A Quiet, good location, nice pool (though did not seem to be heated), easy parking just outside the property boundary but in their own area. There are also electric charging points for 4 vehicles on the property. Cooking facilities were reasonable though the multipurpose Microwave/Grill/Oven was a little challenging. There was a good selection of plates, pans, utensils, glasses and cutlery. There is a small "supermarket" in the village (Check opening times!) otherwise you will need to go to Hasparren, about 10km, for an Intermarche supermarket (good, also sells Petrol/Diesel). The village boulangerie is open Sunday AM but not Mondays and closes in the middle of the day (check the opening times on Google Maps, they are correct.) We never used the onsite restaurant / bar but it did offer nice menus and the food always smelt nice. They also offer take-away pizzas. Access to the property is via a steep road (not evident from web/map views) and there is no parking adjacent to the individual houses only for loading/unloading. The whole property is located on a steep hillside (a Colline). The property we stayed in was, how shall we say, a little tired. The food cupboard was seriously suffering from woodworm at the back and the bath/shower was, while fully servicable, showing its age. There was no safe in the rooms and oddly no hangers in the wardrobe. Their website claims they provide bedding, towels and toilet paper, but while the 1st 2 were provided and changed each week the toilet paper is something you must provide for yourself after the 1st 2 rolls that they provide!
