The celebrity chef Alain Ducasse seems to be doing rather well for himself in his second line as a country-house hotelier — his Tuscan villa, L’Andana, has been a smashing success, on both the hospitality and culinary fronts. And while the French Basque Country may not have quite the postcard cachet of Tuscany, it’s more than scenic enough, and has a culinary tradition all its own; so it’s here that he’s chosen as a setting for Ostapé.

Twenty-two guest rooms are spread across the estate, in the 18th-century manor house and some newly-built (but authentically-styled) outlying villas. Here in the country they’re not hurting for space — rooms range from 45 to 90 square meters, and all have living rooms and either balconies or terraces with views of the mountains and valley.

Diversions tend toward the low-key — there’s a pool, of course, as well as a Turkish bath, a fitness center, and a sauna. A cooking school is a natural choice for a hotel with this kind of pedigree, and obviously the restaurant is key to the experience; the menu, updated daily, is traditional, and the ingredients come from the region’s farms and the Ostapé vegetable gardens.
