Country house Belvedere in Ujué
There are many ways to visit Navarre. If you are looking for a still off the beaten path destination, head to Ujué, a medieval village in the Central Area of the region with stunning views over the Pyrenees and riverside plains. Ujué offers the opportunity of a rich and immersive encounter with the local culture, traditions, history and gastronomy.
A few years ago we fell in love with Ujué and the hospitable local people. In 2018 we renovated an old construction and made it a sustainable building. The Country House Belvedere and its small ecological garden bring together our care and the town´s charm. We do hope you enjoy your stay!
Eco friendly accommodation Family holidays.

Rest and tranquillity. The rural house is a great place to relax and enjoy a barbecue, share family meals on the sunny patio or under the big fig tree.
Surrounding area Ujué
Beautiful town. Since 2017 Ujué belongs to the network “Most Beautiful Towns in Spain”. Its cobbled streets and the magnificent church fortress of Saint Mary (12-14th C.) are key reasons for the recognition.
Strategic location. Ujué stands on top of an 840m hill with views from the Pyrenees to the North entrance to Bardenas Reales Natural Park. The village of Olite and its Royal Palace is only 20 km. away.
Sunshine and snow. Ujué has a diverse climate typical of the Mediterranean mountains with warm summers and cold winters. Spring and Autumn are mild seasons.
Sustainable stay Green and local
Eco-friendly construction. The house was formerly a pen converted into a cottage in the 1950’. We carried out a renovation that keeps the original stone and includes sustainable materials such as lime mortar and clay floor.
Organic vegetable garden. The house has a small vegetable garden which produces fresh products all year round. We encourage you to pick up and enjoy some complimentary seasonal veggies during your stay.
Local economy. People from Ujué works mainly in the primary sector producing wine, honey, olive oil, almonds, bread, eggs, lamb and beef. We heartily recommend these delicacies and encourage you to eat local.
