Actually finding some nice hiking is just as walkable, leading to amazing viewpoints and forest paths. There are many places close by that are worth visiting, but staying around the apartment is very enjoyable too!We loved everything about our visit and hope to return! ##### Rebecca S.

Very clean.Fully equipped with high standard.Nice view into country side from the patio.Very calm and quiet.Very friendly and helpful landlords living next door and respecting guest privacy.Rent is definitely not cheap, but you get a lot for your money!Lekeitio is a very nice small city. Even though it is in walking distance the way back can get tiring (steep). It is advisable to park your car in the (gratis) parking lot at the city border. From there it is only a few minutes walk to harbor and beach.I'm usually not writing online ratings but this location really earns one! ##### Matthias G.

The surroundings are also beautiful and quiet. Owners are welcoming . Lekeitio itself is just incredible. Extremely authentic. 2 nice beaches. One island accessible at low tide. One clean river to cross to access one of the beach. Old city to be discovered. No cars in city center. Small harbor. Anti jet-set atmosphere. And only one hour drive from Bilbao... Wonderful for those looking for authenticity.... ##### Nicolas D.

Heerlijke plek om de Baskische natuur, cultuur en culinaire omgeving te ervaren. Het dorpje (Lekeitio) is een levendige plek met leuke barretjes om wat te eten en te drinken. ##### Michiel Stayed 6 nights in Oct 2025 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Boutique Hotel Villa Gala](https://www.expedia.ca/Cadaques-Hotels-Boutique-Hotel-Villa-Gala.h20608263.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Vibra Mare Nostrum](https://www.expedia.ca/Ibiza-Town-Hotels-Hotel-Playasol-Mare-Nostrum.h1200270.Hotel-Information) > > [Iberostar Heritage Grand Mencey](https://www.expedia.ca/Santa-Cruz-De-Tenerife-Hotels-Iberostar-Heritage-Grand-Mencey.h17496.Hotel-Information) > > [The Unexpected Ibiza Hotel - Ushuaïa Club entrance included](https://www.expedia.ca/Sant-Josep-De-Sa-Talaia-Hotels-Ushuaia-Ibiza-Beach-Hotel.h910196.Hotel-Information) > > [Nobu Hotel Ibiza Bay](https://www.expedia.ca/Ibiza-Town-Hotels-Nobu-Hotel-Ibiza-Bay.h17675282.Hotel-Information) > > [Ocean House Costa del Sol, Affiliated by Meliá](https://www.expedia.ca/Torremolinos-Hotels-Ocean-House-Costa-Del-Sol.h72084.Hotel-Information) > > [xxxxxxxxxx](https://www.expedia.ca/Chiclana-De-La-Frontera-Hotels-Xxxxxxxxxx.h38262598.Hotel-Information) > > [Apartamentos Sal Rossa](https://www.expedia.ca/Sant-Josep-De-Sa-Talaia-Hotels-Apartamentos-Sal-Rossa.h16434480.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Marqués de Riscal, a Luxury Collection Hotel, Elciego](https://www.expedia.ca/Elciego-Hotels-Hotel-Marques-De-Riscal.h1523319.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Apartamentos Bajondillo](https://www.expedia.ca/Torremolinos-Hotels-Hotel-Apartamentos-Bajondillo.h1475566.Hotel-Information) > > [Marriott's Marbella Beach Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Marbella-Hotels-Marriotts-Marbella-Beach-Resort.h903183.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Santa Marta](https://www.expedia.ca/Lloret-De-Mar-Hotels-Hotel-Santa-Marta.h428543.Hotel-Information) > > [Grand Palladium White Island Resort & Spa - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Sant-Josep-De-Sa-Talaia-Hotels-Grand-Palladium-White-Island-Resort-Spa-All-Inclusive.h9778941.Hotel-Information) > > [The Ritz-Carlton Tenerife, Abama](https://www.expedia.ca/Guia-De-Isora-Hotels-The-Ritz-Carlton.h1338023.Hotel-Information) > > [Melia Costa Del Sol](https://www.expedia.ca/Torremolinos-Hotels-Melia-Costa-Del-Sol.h525750.Hotel-Information) > > [Iberostar Selection Playa de Muro Village](https://www.expedia.ca/Muro-Hotels-Iberostar-Selection-Playa-De-Muro-Village.h1734031.Hotel-Information) > > [Gran Hotel Sóller](https://www.expedia.ca/Soller-Hotels-Gran-Hotel-Soller.h1129700.Hotel-Information) > > [Sol Torremolinos - Don Pablo](https://www.expedia.ca/Torremolinos-Hotels-Sol-Torremolinos-Don-Pablo.h73385.Hotel-Information) > > [The Site Hotel Ibiza – New Opening 2026](https://www.expedia.ca/Sant-Josep-De-Sa-Talaia-Hotels-The-Site-Hotel-Ibiza-New-Opening-2026.h7065553.Hotel-Information) > > [Le Meridien Ra Beach Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/El-Vendrell-Hotels-Le-Meridien-Ra-Beach-Hotel-Spa.h1175187.Hotel-Information) > > [Grand Palladium Select Palace Ibiza - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Sant-Josep-De-Sa-Talaia-Hotels-Grand-Palladium-Palace-Ibiza-Resort-Spa.h1439711.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Best Semiramis](https://www.expedia.ca/Puerto-De-La-Cruz-Hotels-Hotel-Best-Semiramis.h2335300.Hotel-Information) > > [Bahia Principe Fantasia Tenerife - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/San-Miguel-De-Abona-Hotels-Bahia-Principe-Fantasia-Tenerife-All-Inclusive.h21628653.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Riu Monica - Adults Only](https://www.expedia.ca/Nerja-Hotels-Hotel-Riu-Monica-Adults-Only.h1096993.Hotel-Information) > > [Iberostar Waves Royal Andalus](https://www.expedia.ca/Chiclana-De-La-Frontera-Hotels-Iberostar-Royal-Andalus.h2858301.Hotel-Information) > > [NYX Hotel Ibiza - Adults Only](https://www.expedia.ca/Sant-Antoni-De-Portmany-Hotels-Alua-Hawaii-Ibiza.h1134236.Hotel-Information) > > [Sol Principe](https://www.expedia.ca/Torremolinos-Hotels-Sol-Principe.h902884.Hotel-Information) > > [Club La Santa - all sports inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Tinajo-Hotels-Club-La-Santa-All-Sports-Inclusive.h10481064.Hotel-Information)
