“The architectural design, inspired by Basque heritage, is award-winning; inside, I found the culinary experience at Aizian, with its local ingredients, compelling. I appreciate the comprehensive wellness centre that includes a heated pool and saunas, though I note that breakfast may not always hit the mark for luxury travelers. It's a great choice overall for its blend of culture and relaxation.”
