Behind the Aldori’s discrete farmhouse façade lies an avant-garde interior where imagination has been allowed to roam free. The Urdaibai Biosphere Reserve is a well-preserved natural beauty spot that has wound its path from Guernica to Mundaka since ancient times; its name means “wild boar river”. Once inside the house, the first surprise is a tapestry of Kennedy and the White House hanging in the simple dining room. The family are used to explaining that this is personal tribute from José Luis Pértica, the paternal grandfather, to his time spent in the United States merchant navy; he even made it as far as Vietnam. Pieces of family history are dotted all around this hotel, which has been designed to accommodate guests with limited mobility. Among the collection of eye-catching decorative features are a back-lit alabaster headboard, famous song lyrics on the walls and giant copies of the ship boarding passes used by Aunt Maria Rosa on her return journey from New York to Bilbao in 1947. Outside, the surrounding forest gently envelops the hotel in a sea of green. Business hours of reception: Every day: from 00:00 to 00:00 .
