    The apartment was beautiful and spotlessly clean. The host was very friendly and helpful. Even with our limited Spanish and his limited English, we managed to communicate well. The location in the old town was great -- on a quiet street but not far from the shops, restaurants, and sights of Santillana. Free parking nearby was a bonus.

    The location was so quiet and convenient for quick walk to the town. We had an issue with finding exact property- host sorted this immediately by coming to find us. Despite language difference we were able to communicate well. Apartment clean, calming, and functional in a good way - and met all our needs, including parking. Host friendly and attentive and left a fantastic cake!

    I had an amazing stay here. Borja was very helpful and gave me all the information I needed. I had yet another surprise, that day there was no one left in the hostel, meaning I had the entire hostel to myself. 😃If you are looking for a quiet place to stay, this is where you should stay. Pure nature and peace. I loved it. Thank you Borja

    This hotel is a true gem, everything was perfect. The property is nestled in the picturesque medieval town of Santillana del Mar. Great breakfast, cozy atmosphere, spotless rooms, charming interiors. The location is ideal for wandering around the town, and there are incredible views of the countryside from the terrace. Our host, Rafa, was the absolute best! All in all, a stay we won't forget :)

    Super friendly hosts. Great location, quiet area, family and pet friendly. Looked after garden space. Feels like home rather then rented accommodation, which for me is the best I could get.

    Beautiful building in a gorgeous town. Quaint. Charming. Lovely woodwork all around inside the hostel all hand built by the owners who have their spectacular hand made furniture business next door! The hotel was clean and it felt safe. Great location to walk around town. Close to a nice restaurant, Casa Cossio, where they serve the best Cocido Montañés I’ve had in Cantabria!

    Our second stay in Sep 2023. A different room this time - outside the main building. Not as good as our previous room but to be expected as a little older I suspect. Great location for Santander and the beautiful town of Santillana del Mar. Great hospitality, lovely breakfasts, tranquil location in quiet countryside location off the beaten track. Superb gardens. Very Dog friendly which is a bonus for us.
