Olabe is a 450 year old family-run farmhouse on the Basque coast that has been converted into an amazing rural hostel. There is accommodation for up to 30 guests in double, family and dormitory style rooms, a fully equipped self-catering kitchen, 5 bathrooms and a 150m2 chill out space that we use to run bespoke courses, workshops, events and retreats.
