Breakfast every morning was so good and we treated ourselves to dinner one night but we wish we had both nights since there is no restaurant nearby that even comes close. Will recommend La Casueña to anyone!

L'ancienne auberge-épicerie familiale se partage entre les chambres et le restaurant. D'un côté, 16 chambres au décor soigné appellent à l'évasion vers les montagnes et le village environnants. De l'autre, la table fait la part belle au terroir local. Les assiettes et le linge sont basques, tout comme les produits dans l'assiette.

This hotel has been favoured by helpers, doctors and nurses of the Society of Our Lady of Lourdes…read morefor over 25 years. Christine and her staff work tirelessly to look after their guests - be they tourists, pilgrims, pilgrimage helpers or stagiaires. Nothing seems to much to ask them. The Sainte Marie is conveniently located near the Pont St Michel right at the entrance to the Sanctuaries and overlooks the rapidly flowing river Gave. The sound of rushing water is everywhere which, for me at least, is very soothing. Accomodation can be booked on a B&B basis or full/half board. For those on a budget there are rooms which can booked for 3 or 4 sharing. The hotel has recently been refurbished and all rooms are en suite and have satellite TV and air-conditioning. There is a hotel TV lounge at the reception level which has comfortable armchairs and coffee tables. A small bar next to the reception serves a cosy seating area where you can relax after a long day. For visitors with cars there is a locked car park in front of the hotel.

The rooms are simple, and very clean. The breakfast was typiquement francais - with croissant, tartine, juice, and a hot drink. The view from our room was spectacular and the sound of the river was very peaceful. We hope to come back again, and when we do, we will stay at Hotel Sainte Marie!
