About Parador de Santillana del Mar
The historic town center of Santillana del Mar is unusual in that it is only open to pedestrians. You won't see any cars, making your visit very special indeed. This historic district has preserved its original character for hundreds of years.
Highlights among the buildings include the Casa del Águila (House of the Eagle) and the Casa de la Plaza (House of the Square), the statue Homenaje al hombre de Altamira (Homage to the Man of Altamira), and the fabulous town hall building.
As you stroll through the main square (Plaza Mayor de Ramón Pelayo) and along the streets that branch off from it, you will discover the many charms of this Cantabrian town with its cobblestones, monuments and houses built centuries ago with beautiful flowers hanging from their balconies.
Santillana del Mar Zoo is just 2 kilometers from town and a must-see, especially if you have children. And a little over 15 kilometers away you will find the lovely village of Comillas, lapped by the waters of the Bay of Biscay.

Cannot fault this place. Just a note of warning that there is no food available at the hotel - breakfast and all meals are taken at the parador Gil Blas 1 minute walk away
Donal
Superb property in lovely historical village.
paul
Old world charm
Lovely spot in a beautiful village. Excellent breakfast.
GABRIEL
Incorrect information from Hotels.com
Hotels.com posted free parking but it was incorrect. The hotel charged us for parking and told us that they never offer free parking.
Anne C
We got upgraded to the Gil Blas parador adjacent to parador we booked because so few guests and latter was closed when we arrived. The building itself is a marvel and staff was lovely. Gil Blas in need of serious rehab however. The bar area, carpets and upholstery throughout were very worn and even all the lamp shades were worn. It would take some bucks but it could easily be done with taste consistent with historical period.

Excellent hotel with courteous staff in a gorgeous town.

Cantabrian delight
Delightful hotel in centre of beautiful restored Cantabrian village. Excellent room, reasonable breakfast and dinner. Has plenty of parking. Near to coast and half an hour from Santander
Yuval
The Parador is a nice town, clean with friendly staff.
The town itself is very touristic, but have nice views and atmosphere.

Hotel in an historic building in the old town.
The Parador hotel is situated in an historic building in the centre of the town, with on-site parking. The room was large and comfortable, but dark. Breakfast was good. Staying in January we were in the off season. The town of Santillana del Mar was almost shut, therefore necessitating eating in the hotel restaurant for dinner. The food quality was very poor.
stephen
Beautiful location - Parador needs to improve
Our main complaint is that the shower was terrible. After a long hot drive you expect to have a shower that works properly. Both the shower and the tap in the bathroom had very low pressure. Additionally, it either trickled out cold or as soon as you turned the mixer to hot it went scolding hot. Consequently it was dreadful.We were in the new part of the parador across from the older one (we weren't aware of this when we booked). We didn't enjoy the half board dinner - not very well cooked. Only the dessert was what we would expect from such a place. However the breakfast was excellent - well cooked and loads of choice, and the waitress a delight.

Return stay
A return visit to this delightful accommodation set in the le own of Santilliana..perfect setting, quiet , the hotel staff are friendly andhelpful. Ample breakfast with plenty of choice.
mercedes
Close to Santander, worth the trip
Must follow signs to the paradores very carefully since the town is car free.
Better than 3 stars, specially after upgrading, + € 30, well spend for a lovely deck making the room so much more roomy and enjoyable. Great way to rest with a glass of bubbly before diner.
Location could not be any better right in the center of such an old town and yet convenient to drive to other places like Santander, 30 mins. away.
Very clean and well man twin property.
Confortable all around.

Adequate but not outstanding Parador
Bathroom dated,needs a revamp. Soundproofing not great, problem if a guest upstairs is an early riser or has a weak bladder!Bar & restaurant is in nearby Parador Gil Blas.Difficult to find by car. Santillana is a lovely place with some great restaurants.

Third time in this hotel. Beautiful village, and the hotel is beautiful. Very handy for Bilbao and Santander.
George
Very good hotel
A very enjoyable night spent there. Excellent food and service. Will return again.
John & Ruth
Hard-To-Find-But-Well-Worth-It-Parador
Wonderful stay even though it poured rain, and the location is rather out-of-the-way. Very quiet location with patter of rain from an open window made for a great night's sleep. Dinner was across the way at another related Parador, but served very good food. The Alta Mira Caves are 1 km. from property, which was also well-worth the drive.
Verified traveler
The parador experience
Typical parador comfort and style with attentive staff above the usual standard. This is not a particularly historic parador but its position in the centre of Santillana and comfort plus parking is both restful and convenient
