The rural house Txikirrin III, is not the only rural house that houses the mansion in which it is located, and it is that, Txikirrin II and Txikirrin Txiki, two other rural houses, share location and garden with the lodging that occupies us today. 3 houses in one. A problem or an advantage? The only disadvantage we see is having to share garden and barbecue with the other tenants, otherwise, there is no problem. The general line of all these rural houses is similar: rustic decoration, recently renovated and all kinds of accommodations. However, the number of tenants and the type of rental varies.
- Txikirrin III: Our choice. Rural house with capacity for 8 people. Distributed between the first floor and the second floor of the building we find this wonderful rural house that has 4 double rooms (all with own bathroom), complete kitchen, living room and toilet. Type of rent: Full house.
- Txikirrin II: The upper part of the building is reserved for this rural house with capacity for 10 people. It has 5 double rooms (only 2 have en-suite bathrooms), bathroom, full kitchen, living-dining room, living room and independent entrance. Type of rental: Full house.
- Txikirrin txiki: This rural house is located in an addition to the house that houses Txikirrin II and Txikirrin III. As its name indicates it is the smallest of them all and only has one double room, terrace, kitchen and living room. Type of rental: Full house.
All the cottages have good quality wifi, DVD, board games, garden and barbecue (remember that these last two are shared with the rest of the guests of the Txikirrin cottages). For those who wish to rent a single room, Txikirrin I, located in the neighboring village of Aribe, on the banks of the Irati River, is a nice option.
Although all Txikirrin cottages are a valid option for a getaway to the Navarre Pyrenees, in this article we are going to tell you about our experience in Txikirrin III, the house we selected to enjoy the charms of the Irati Forest and the villages of the Aezkoa Valley.
Rural house Txikirrin III.
The rural house Txikirrin III allows us to enjoy the infinity of plans that the Navarrese Pyrenees offers us, an enclave where nature plays a leading role, a perfect place for hiking, mountain biking, running and many other sports.
Although the rural house Txikirrin III, has many strong points, we would like to highlight some of them:
- All the rooms have a complete independent bathroom.
- Completely renovated house.
- Independent entrance.
- Free firewood.
- The common area (living room, kitchen and hall) are large spaces with bathroom included.
Interior: Heating, fireplace, DVD, wifi, television, stereo and many other elements make this house a refuge with all kinds of comforts in which to rest after a long day of hiking through the different routes of the Irati Forest. The bowling, balls and shovels that we find in the hall of Txikirrin III collaborate in leaving aside the mobiles, tablets and other electronic devices to spend a pleasant time with family or friends. Although we have already commented on several occasions, we must again highlight the comfort offered by the fact that all rooms have a full bathroom.
Outside: Balcony, parking next to the house, barbecue, garden, patio and covered porch with table and chairs. Unfortunately, the inner courtyard where the barbecue is located, the small garden and the covered porch are shared with the rest of the guests of the Txikirrin houses. Undoubtedly, the only “but” of this house in the Navarrese Pyrenees. In our case, we were lucky, the houses Txikirrin Txiki and Txikirrin II were empty, so we were able to appropriate all the common space, a small corner that gives a lot of life in summer.
Attention: Ludi, owner of the rural houses Txikirrin, attended us perfectly and indicated us her favorite places and routes in the Aezkoa Valley, a detail that is always appreciated. The next day, the house was not occupied, so Ludi gave us carte blanche to leave the house in the afternoon-evening, moment in which we introduced the keys in the mailbox of the house and we put an end to our experience in the Rural House Txikirrin III.
We don’t know much about the history of this rural house, but according to the sign on its façade “This house was built by Jose Chiquirrin and Juaquina Arozar in 1875”, a small detail that caught our attention.
Location: Hiriberri, a quiet and picturesque village in the Aezkoa Valley, proposes to be the starting point from which to set off in search of the treasures of the Navarrese Pyrenees. A town, which is a luxury location to establish the base camp from which to attack the Irati Forest and other points of interest.
Times by car from Casa Rural Txikirrin III.
- Aribe: 10 minutes.
- Irati Forest: 22 minutes.
- Orbaitzeta arms factory: 24 minutes.
- Arpea Cave: 30 minutes.
- Otsagabia: 40 minutes.
- Abaurrea Alta: 19 minutes.
- Orreaga/Roncesvalles: 15 minutes.
- Foz de Lumbier: 1 hour.
- Pamplona – Iruña: 1 hour and 10 minutes.
Do not be fooled by the times mentioned, these areas are very close to each other but the twisted and narrow roads of the Navarre Pyrenees limit the speed of the trip. We must keep in mind that there are 2 natural entrances to the Irati Forest, Otsagabia and Orbaitzeta, so these two villages should be a reference in our way.
Shopping: The villages surrounding this rural house are located in the Navarrese Pyrenees, a difficult terrain to access and where we do not find a great commercial offer. We recommend to buy all the products that we need in the gas station that we found in the beginning of the municipality of Aribe. Place, in which in addition to maintaining an adequate quality-price ratio for a gas station, we find a lot of local products, products from Navarre. Of course, if you need something specific and difficult to find, we recommend buying it in Pamplona – Iruña or bringing it directly from home.
Price: The price is according to the average price of the rural houses that we find in the Navarre Pyrenees. If you come for a weekend and complete the 8 places in the house, the price per person is close to 22 € per day, on the contrary, if we extend our stay to a week is reduced to 15 € per day and person, a good price for all that we offer.
As you can see, Txikirrin III is a wonderful rural house designed to enjoy the Navarre Pyrenees with total tranquility and all kinds of comforts. A cozy and well-kept house that has served us as a starting point for all our routes, you will love it.
