Hotel Peruskenea, Jauntsarats, Navarra, Spain
Located in the Basaburua valley, this traditional, 18th century country house from Navarra has been restored into a charming little hotel.
The façade combines white plastered walls, stone and wood. The rooms reflect the aesthetics of the surrounding countryside, comprising exposed wooden beams, oak furnishings and flooring with feather duvets, latex mattresses and cotton bed linen. The light-flooded dining room, where breakfast is served, has a wooden balcony with outstanding valley views (as do some of the rooms).
The hotel is accessed along a 1 km long, paved path that crosses a beech and oak forest (Bosque de Beruete); a magic place that leads to the cider houses. Here one can admire the local craftsmanship and traditions, and discover the legends surrounding the dolmen dotted forest.

Guide to the Navarrese Pyrenees
The Pyrenees rise up to the North of Navarra in a mountainous region where the visitor will encounter a landscape of soaring peaks and deep valleys, shady woods and dazzling alpine meadows, ravines and gorges.
The Pyrenees Mountain range descends gently from East to West. From the border with Aragon to the Bay of Biscay, the climate changes from Continental to Atlantic and the landscape is transformed from the escarpments of the Larra massif to the perennially green in the Baztan Valley, or the imposing plateaux of the Aralar and Andia ranges.
The Pyrenees Mountains of Navarra are traversed by valleys formed by the rivers: Esca, Salazar, Irati, Urrobi, Erro and Arga, which flow towards the Aragon and the Ebro and those of the Cantabrian hills: Bidasoa, Leizaran and Araxes. Lumbier, located 38km from Pamplona on the lower slopes of Mount Arangoiti in the Leire range, is the starting point for any incursion into the Eastern Pyrenees. Accessible from Biguezal, the mountain offers a superb vantage point and close by is an airfield for light flights. On the other side of Mount Arangoiti is the Romanesque Leyre Monastery.
