Hotel Nafarrola - Gastronomy & Wine
Sustainable Hotel
We don’t want to talk endlessly about our sustainability credentials because, truth be told, it is quite simply an integral part of everything we do and we hope that this commitment is tangible to our guests when they are with us.
But for those who want a little extra reassurance, Hotel Nafarrola is certified by the European Charter for Sustainable Tourism of Protected Spaces (Europarc). This means that we take care of our team, our people. We create stable employment and contribute to the social cohesion of our region. We shop locally, we have a kitchen garden with fruit and vegetables and work with neighbouring farms and small local producers to stock our restaurant. We respect nature and take care of it, we use renewable energy sources and we love to collaborate and enhance our iconic enclave. Is there more we can do?
There is always more to be done and that is something we take very seriously and we are always looking to evolve and improve.

Solar energy
The Hotel Nafarrola has a 26KW power installation for generating electricity through photovoltaic panels. We also have a battery system and programming that allows us to optimize energy consumption according to hours and sun exposure.
Mountain spring water
Having our own water spring enables Hotel Nafarrola to offer a more balanced consumption of water, resulting in a greater availability of mains water for the rest of the population. Own resources, balanced consumption.
Kitchen Garden / Orchard
L'Hôtel Nafarrola possède son propre verger à partir duquel il obtient, selon la saison, des fruits et légumes qu'il utilise pour préparer des plats et des ingrédients pour son restaurant, exclusivement pour les clients. Les pratiques écologiques et l'amour de la terre rendent le résultat fabuleux.
Nearby providers
The Hotel Nafarrola is supplied practically entirely by local providers, whether they are professional associations or km0 food producers. The beer, the wines, the experiences offered in the gastronomic field are just a sample of our vocation to generate synergies with the environment that surrounds us.
Sustainable Employment
The team that makes the operation of Hotel Nafarrola possible is one of our treasures. People who love their work, who give the best of themselves, and who deserve the best working conditions, for this reason, the Hotel Nafarrola pursues a non-seasonal, balanced work model that generates close jobs that allow conciliation.
Electric Car Charger
Hotel Nafarrola welcomes drivers of electric vehicles. A 7.6kW charger located in the car park fulfills the function of refueling vehicles in need of recharging in an efficient way, thus avoiding the generation of greenhouse gases. This service could require an extra payment.
Environmental Recovery
The start-up of the Hotel Nafarrola has meant an important work of environmental recovery of the farm on which the hotel is based. From the control of thickets not suitable for animal fodder to the recovery of 3 hectares previously destined for eucalyptus plantation to fodder, these are clear examples of our work.
European Charter for Sustainable Tourism
The Urdaibai Biosphere Reserve is attached to the European Charter for Sustainable Tourism as a destination. Said standard requires that the establishments of the region adhere to and comply with the different requirements thereof. The Hotel Nafarrola meets the requirements of said standard, and is currently obtaining the certificate of adherence.
Natural Soaps
The soaps used at Hotel Nafarrola are 100% natural and obtained through sustainable means. Both the aromas and their components have sustainable origins. In addition, unitary containers of the same are avoided since there are dosing systems in each room.
