Other things to note
Espelette is centrally located as a base for exploring Basque Country. Cambo Les Bains with famous spas and Arnaga the house of Edmond Rostand (the author of Cyrano de Bergerac) is 10 minutes in one direction. In another direction, Dantxaria, Spain, with discount shopping is just 10 minutes. Or you can enjoy the beaches and towns of Biarritz, Anglet and St Jean de Luz which are just 30 minutes away. The gourmet capital of San Sebastian, Spain is an hour away. There are many wonderful windy country roads where you pass wild horses called Pottoka, lots of sheep and cows and of course, growing piment d’Espelette!

About the host
Hosted by Sharon and Joop de Korte
We started out by renting out our second bedroom in the NYC apartment we shared.
We currently have 2 vacation rental homes in the Hamptons and an enclave with 4 properties and another house in France’s Basque Country.
Joop grew up in Holland but moved to London and then Biarritz France before settling in the US 20 years ago. Sharon grew up on Long Island and lived in NYC for 25 years before moving to more natural environments.
Sharon has a psychology and anthropology degree from the University of Pennsylvania and a Masters in Creative Studies from the State University of New York.
Joop has a degree in life experience with decades of worldwide adventures. We both believe in having fun and interesting things will follow.
Together and with the help our team we aim to have your stay with us be exactly what you would like it to be
