Ferme Hégia Review

Surrounded by the mountains of the Pyrénées, a farmhouse from 1746 has been turned into the best restaurant avec chambres in the area. Just 34km (21 miles) inland from Biarritz, and 6km (3 3/4 miles) south of Hasparren along D152, this retreat is the domain of Michelin-starred chef Arnaud Daguin and his wife, Veronique. Ancient wooden beams and timbers have been lovingly restored, but the interior is done in a strikingly modern design. Guests enjoy a glass of champagne in the open kitchen, watching Daguin cook his elaborate dishes. The cuisine is among the finest in the Basque country. The chef, for example, takes incredible care with his ingredients. He takes almost as much care with the other ingredients that go into his market-fresh cuisine. The bedrooms are beautifully designed and spacious, but lack such "distractions" as phones or TV.

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
