We were looking for a rural experience and happened upon this hotel in the village of Segura, a few km from Idiazabal in the Basque Country. The town is essentially unchanged since medieval days, with a small museum in an old house discussing the history of the town. Everything is in basque and spanish only but still fun. The hotel is right in town, with nice modern rooms and super friendly innkeepers. Breakfast was lovely and abundant. We ate dinner in the courtyard both nights as the only other restaurant in town was closed both nights we were there (there are other places to get drinks and snacks). Food was not fancy but good. The innkeepers lent us everything we needed for a picnic and day of hiking in a nearby park and even recommended where to buy the best bread and wine. Segura is also directly on the Idiazabal Cheese Trail, a multi-day loop hiking trail thru the mountains and towns, It is very easy to just do a short portion. Highly recommended.

“A WONDERFUL FIND”

We drove into this lovely village and decided to book into this amazing hotel. It was very comfortabe quirky and very friendly staff. We had a lovely breakfast in the morning also we dined in the bar/restaurant the night we stayed.

“Nice View, Fancy and Noisy”

I choose to stay at Segura to get a village feel while not too far to drive to other tourist destination in this region. The hotel's entrance is tricky to drive to as the streets are tight and one-way, it was easier to first park the car at the village's main car park and walk to the hotel. Check-… Mehr

I choose to stay at Segura to get a village feel while not too far to drive to other tourist destination in this region. The hotel's entrance is tricky to drive to as the streets are tight and one-way, it was easier to first park the car at the village's main car park and walk to the hotel. Check-in was efficient and friendly with a long instruction on how to get into the hotel after hours, one can also gain entry via the hotel's restaurant. My room on the first floor has a nice view of the mountain, unfortunately it also faces the restaurant's courtyard which can be noisy till early hours in the morning, and smokey if one opens the windows. I kept the blinds down and curtain drawn throughout my stay for privacy. My brightly lit room has a king size bed with quality beddings, small bedside tables with lamps, a wardrobe with hangers, a writing desk, a chair, a small TV, air conditioner, and a rather complex lighting/AC switches. The modern bathroom has a shower, a bidet, a hairdryer, and is very clean. Sleep was comfortable after the noisy diners left for the evening. Even though the hotel looked to be newly renovated, sound proofing is very poor, I could hear foot steps from the room above mine and noise from the corridor. It certainly didn't help to have inconsiderate guests, especially when returning to their rooms late. The hotel would get 5 stars from me if the sound issue is addressed. The village is very quiet in the evening, I also visited during August when most eateries are closed, the hotel's restaurant was good with friendly service but didn't have much offering cooked food wise, at least it has good beer on tap! I don't know if I would stay here again.

“Better than the 2* rating”

Segura only has one hotel - the 2 star Hotel Imaz. We were actually pleasantly surprised, the couple who run the hotel were super friendly and the rooms were a decent size and were comfortable.

Segura only has one hotel - the 2 star Hotel Imaz. We were actually pleasantly surprised, the couple who run the hotel were super friendly and the rooms were a decent size and were comfortable. The restaurant / bar on the ground floor isn't run by the hotel and really is the only option either in Segura or nearby - but it has decent beers and wine and the meals we had were delicious. The reason for 3 stars not 4 is simply down to the price that felt high
