Komentu Maitea  

Tuck into the Basque village of Gordexola at a hotel set in the 17th-century Santa Isabel Convent. A short 15-minute drive from Bilbao and about 30 minutes from Bilbao Airport, it sits near San Mamés Stadium, Plaza de Toros de Vista Alegre and Chavarri Palace, and is 9.3 miles from the medieval village of Balmaseda.

Rooms blend original stone walls and wooden floors with modern comforts like flat-screen TVs, mini-bars, air conditioning and sleek bathrooms with hairdryers. Spacious lounges and peaceful gardens give the place a laid-back, historic-meets-modern vibe — wake up to quiet countryside views.

Find an elegant restaurant, a snack bar and a lounge, plus a bar for evening drinks. Free Wi-Fi and complimentary on-site parking make arrival easy; there’s a chapel, baggage storage, a safe-deposit box, elevator access and a tour desk to book local excursions.

Conference hall and meeting/presentation facilities are available for events. Free Wi‑Fi throughout helps keep work on track, and transfers or car hire can be arranged.

The on-site restaurant serves traditional Basque cuisine in an elegant setting, with a snack bar and lounge for lighter bites. For local flavor, the nearby Iratxo Taberna is a popular Spanish spot among locals and visitors.
