The commitments of our 5-star hotel in the Basque Country
Basque by nature
In Basque, Ostape means ‘the shadow of the oak leaf’ and the word Chahatoa, found in our address, means ‘the man who drinks’ – a nod to the seven natural springs that criss-cross our estate. With its abundant water and trees, Auberge Ostape carries within its roots the very essence of the Basque nature. Sometimes turbulent, other times fiery, but always noble and diverse and, above all, a precious legacy that we inherit and pass on.
Offering the gift of nature and a shared reconnection to it, our 5-star hotel in the hinterland of the Basque Country has made hospitality a way of life. As innkeepers, a warm welcome is our mantra and we are devoted to taking care of our guests, fighting for what is right, good, home-grown and local, and investing in our land and its people to reveal authenticity in all its wonder. Basque by nature.
A virtuous art of living
Seeking balance in all things.
Committed to sustainable development, Auberge Ostape’s approach is rooted in harmony with nature and people. Intensifying our progress towards sustainability means supporting an assortment of terroirs, resources and craftsmen and women; it means reconciling our heritage and ambitions with our environment, its topography and natural resources; it means evolving without renouncing, and drawing inspiration from the common-sense approach of yesteryear.
Here in the Basque Country, farming values are our guiding light in preserving a nurturing, rejuvenating and untamed natural environment, and a virtuous art of living.
