We spent 4days/3nights in the Hotel Villa Catarie. We loved a very special historic character of the property and all the services. Villa Catarie has a very good location in the middle of the village - close to the bus or train stations, a few metres from the beach (suitable mainly for surfing and walking, less for swimming), with several restaurants in the very proximity. staying in the Villa Catarie Hotel feels like visiting friends or family. We spent very pleasant days in the village and enjoyed everything. All the local people we met were extremely nice and friendly.

Maybe clarity as to whether the pool was open in September but then I could have asked.

Everything was wonderful. The staff were charming and genteel. The old fashioned style of the hotel gave it real charm. Our room was excellent next time I will book a balcony. I so hope there's a next time. Excellent breakfast good selection to choose from. Wonderful location. We loved the coastal walk south to Saint Jean de Luz and North to Biarritz. Stunning scenery. Recommend the Café Basque in walking distance for a meal. This is the sort of hotel that makes me want to get a job as the secret guest.

The only minus point is the address mentioned in the reservation : the street name is ok but no number is mentioned. It was a little complicated to find the hotel.

Very cozy and comfortable hotel. Friendly and helpful staff. Beautiful room. Close to restaurants. Beautiful garden. Parking on site.

There was nothing not to like!!

The property is situated perfectly in the town. The train station is a 5/6 min walk so very close. The property is a few minutes walk to some superb restaurants and around 10mins to the beautiful beach. There is a Spar shop 8/10 mins toward the main road so everything is conveniently located. The rooms are well laid out and has everything you need. We had the Garden room downstairs so that had its own small garden area with deck chairs and table so perfect to just have a a drink and relax. We didn’t have a car but we noticed the car parking was ample and it would be easy to get around. We took the bus into Biarritz and we found it easy and convenient. Definitely worth staying here 😍

There's was only one thing we found a bit difficult. The bathroom is not very user-friendly for older travelers. The shower required a tall step over the edge of the bathtub, and there were no safety handles for old folks like us. This is especially important as the floor consists of very beautiful but slippery glazed tiles. The shower could also benefit from a glass or plexiglass pane to prevent water from soaking the floor after using the shower. But these concerns apply only to older travelers and should not deter anyone from staying here.

The entire property is beautiful, both inside and out, drawing upon local Basque traditions. It is a stone's throw to the breaches and the numerous excellent tapas bars and restaurants Guéthary offers. The beds were very comfortable and it was very quiet at night. Mme. Beatrice was a most friendly and welcoming host. Our room had a nice furnished balcony to relax with a drink. The mini-bar was well stocked with local treats and good drinks. The breakfast was excellent with a nice choice of items. We would gladly return and recommend Villa Catarie to all travelers.

WiFi went in and out.

Charming boutique hotel in a perfect location. Friendly, well-trained staff. The junior suite is spacious and beautifully appointed with a private garden. Shout out to Stephanie and Marina for their excellent customer service. Highly recommended when visiting Guethary!

Room was a bit small & I didn’t like the shower as it was hand held & no screen to keep the water in the bathtub.

I used the stairs rather than the lift at one point and there was a light bulb missing which made it a bit dark. Minor issue, although it may have been a bigger problem for some.

we had a beautiful room, with balcony, in this classy old hotel. An ensuite with a full bath, a separate wc, which is welcome but fairly rare these days. It was all very comfortable. We only stayed one night and did not take breakfast so no idea what that was like. The Villa Catarie is very well located only a few minutes walk from the train station and local services.

Horrible breakfast: bitter coffee, no lait cru, tough cold omelette, nasty little pots of jam. Overall too many feminine touches.

Location OK. Shabby fixtures and fittings (lamps, rubber wallpaper around bath
