Most charming residence I've ever seen. It's in one of the best-preserved medieval village in Europe. The residence was used historically to house traveling scholars and monks on retreat. The residence keeper was as sweet and attentive as one can ever be. He really made us feel like home. We were given a choice for a room and it was... More

We took the ferry from Portsmouth to Santander and drove straight here in no time. We made a wrong turn when entering the old town and ended up doing quite a tour of the cobbled streets! Once we were back on track we were warmly greeted by the manager who carried our bags to a nice clean room. The hotel... More

A second visit .... and now I'm completely sure - this is the best B&B establishment that we have encountered on our recent trips to Northern Spain AND Southern France. This stunning, family run Posada is getting everything right and is outstanding value for money. The house is traditional and really charming with a great ambience. It feels inviting, homely... More

We had a two night stay here at the very end of August. Owners couldn't have been more helpful or accommodating - they got us tickets to the Museum of the Altamira Caves (online, wouldn't accept credit cards that weren't from Banco Santander!), directed us to superb beaches 20 minutes away, made dinner reservations, recommendations, etc. This is a lovingly...

This was one of the very best of the hotels we stayed in during our 3 week tour of Northern Spain. Beautiful house, incredibly friendly and helpful staff, well located just off the main, small square in the centre of the old quarter, and a glorious terrace with a view over fields to the Romanesque church, on which you can...

After three weeks of camping and budget hotels, the four of us decided to indulge in a little comfort and luxury for the final night. We had discovered this gem of a town on a previous trip and booked the hotel for its location (walking distance of the shops, galleries and restaurants) and interest. We were not disappointed! The interior... More

This is a nice typical old house at the historical centre of Santillana del Mar. It has it’s negative points, as the noise associated to an old house and the access issue usual in hotels in historical centers. Nevertheless, the greatest thing about the hotel is the staff. They are extremely gentle, service conscious and they can give you excellent... More

We had only booked one night at the Casa del Organista but would have happily stayed longer. The staff were friendly and helpful, the room was comfortable and well equipped and breakfast was excellent, Highly recommended! More

This Parador is smaller than most and that's part of its charm. The family who run it do an excellent job on all levels. The location is perfect, just off the plz Mayor area. Little extras abound: the view out the back onto a still-rural horse area; the incredible breakfasts; the relaxing living room; the atmospheric audio provided by those... More
