“Stay here a few times, very handy for the ferry from Santander”

The hotel is convenient for an overnight stop before going to the port for our Brittany Ferries sailing back to the UK. Lovely historic hotel, good secure parking and a short drive to the Santander ferryport.

“A great place to stay, absolutely gorgeous!”

Lovely hotel. Spacious and confortable room, I loved my bed (comfy). Good location, close to Brittany ferry port of Santander. Very friendly and helful staff. Everything about the hotel was great, would definitely recommend.

“Beautiful, peaceful place.”

We were looking for a hotel which was quiet, luxurious and welcoming for our last night of our holiday- and that’s exactly what we had here. The rooms are massive, comfortable and traditional with a wide range of original art both in the rooms and across the hotel itself. The hotel has a way of making you feel you are the only guests when you know you are not. We had the pool to ourselves - and the pool was big enough for a proper swim. The food was excellent including the lovely breakfast. It was such a treat. Peaceful, beautiful and restful. And less than an hour from Bilbao airport or closer if you’re ferrying from Santander.

“Heaven”

About 30 minutes drive from Santander along the coast is this hidden gem. It has simply everything. A quality, 16th century Spanish villa with enough character to make you feel like you have stepped back in time.

About 30 minutes drive from Santander along the coast is this hidden gem. It has simply everything. A quality, 16th century Spanish villa with enough character to make you feel like you have stepped back in time. A gated, tastefully restored historic residence with a collection of art throughout, for all tastes. Then there are the rooms. They are big enough to be suites and again fitted out with dark, ornate Spanish furniture, and yet fully modern too with amazing en suite bathrooms. The standard would put many a 5 star hotel to shame. The food was exceptional, including breakfast. The grounds are beautiful with many nooks to sit in and listen to the birds, either in shade or sun. The pool is well thought out too with a wooden roof to keep the worst of the sun away. Fields and forest surround the hotel and the village is about 20 minuet walk away. This place is a best kept secret and the staff are also very kind and helpful.
