Perched atop a scenic hill in the Basque hinterland, Maison Belzunce is a 14th-century estate steeped in heritage and surrounded by dramatic views of the Pyrenees. Originally a noble residence for the Belzunce family of Navarre, the château served seven generations before evolving into a refined yet welcoming private estate. Its privileged location between Saint-Palais and Hasparren places it near both Biarritz and the Spanish border, within easy reach of Bordeaux and San Sebastián.
Weddings at Belzunce include full three-day exclusive rental of the château, landscaped park, and converted sheepfold, allowing couples to host up to 230 guests in complete privacy. From ceremonies on the panoramic esplanade to receptions in the 240 m² hall, every space is designed to elevate the celebration. The estate’s authentic character, combined with modern comforts and panoramic surroundings, creates an exceptional experience in the heart of the Basque Country.
The château accommodates 24 guests across nine spacious bedrooms for three nights, with additional lodging in a dormitory for 16 on Saturday night. Each room captures views of the rolling hills or interior courtyards, with soft tones and comfortable furnishings that reflect the warm, lived-in character of the estate. Beds are made prior to arrival and towels are provided. Additional guests can be accommodated in nearby hotels and guesthouses, with around 100 rooms available within a 15-kilometre radius, including Hôtel de la Paix in Saint-Palais and Hôtel Berria in Hasparren. Shuttle service contacts are also available upon request.
Amenities at Belzunce are designed for both celebration and relaxation. The main house features three interconnected lounges, a large dining room, and a fully equipped kitchen. Outdoors, the one-hectare landscaped park offers a pétanque court, a 6x12m swimming pool, and a grassy esplanade with 360° views. A former sheepfold houses the 240 m² reception hall, a 110 m² covered terrace with a guinguette-style setup, a modern professional kitchen, and the 16-bed dormitory. Private parking is available for up to 100 vehicles.
