Such a lovely building. Lots of traditional features but rooms are modern, clean and fresh. Our room had a small balcony, one of two in the hotel. Most attractive restaurant and courtyard. It has a gastro dining experience and the restaurant seemed very popular with local visitors but plenty of room. Breakfast had a good variety, continental but cheese and hams with everything you would expect. More than filling. The staff were very friendly and obliging. We loved every aspect of this hotel and my only reservation we ould be that whilst it was a great location for us for exploring the area, you absolutely need a car, it is quite remote. Would go back in a heartbeat.

Quaint castle style get away

Special place to stay in a “castle” style accommodation with a bistro style restaurant. Gardens and terraced area. Buffet breakfast and free parking.
Restaurant was closed Sunday and Monday evening- would have been good to know this in advance- we assumed it would be open. Did walk (30 minutes) to a recommended restaurant. Found a little supermarket / garage for late night snacks. Conveniently located to visit Santander, Torrelavega and beach at Liencres. Toiletries, spacious en-suite, air conditioning, hairdryer, spacious room with although tiny window very much in keeping with a castle feel. Buffet breakfast was fruit, boiled eggs, salami and cheese, toast, croissants and cake. Coffee machine with good choice of coffee. Nutella and honey. 24 hour manned reception.

Enjoyable stay just outside of Santander

Very enjoyable stay. The staff went out of their way to help out. The facility has the feel of being at a small summer palace. Excellent lunch, I decided to stay for dinner and that was excellent also. I used it as a base to visit the Altamira Cave Museum and explore the local area on my bicycle. I hope to enjoy staying there again. Not much to do locally.

Friendly yet stylish stop off the trail

At 20 mins from ferry this is a welcome first stop when driving through Spain or prior to boarding. The hotel is newly refurbished to an excellent degree throughout. evening meal was found in a very authentic and friendly restaurant 10 mins walk whilst the continental buffet was varied and delicious. The staff could not have been more welcoming.

Great relaxing stay

We stopped here on our drive across northern Spain as a nice place to relax and rest for the evening. It was far more than we expected, a gorgeous and relaxing atmosphere. We booked the Jr. Suite and it was perfect, a huge room with sitting area and bed also a big bathroom with both jetted tub and separate shower.

The hotel itself is a beautiful old palace, very well restored in a clean modern way while still retaining the soul of the old building. The staff was incredibly nice and made sure to let us know that if we needed anything they were happy to help.

They have no restaurant but there is one just down the street. They do offer a continental breakfast, which had fresh fruit, bread, and some jamon, all were great and the attendant also got us some fresh squeezed OJ and I'm pretty sure she went and squeezed it just for us.

What they do have is a beautiful bar next door that offers some cold tapas and great drinks, we had a couple of vermouths and relaxed on their quiet patio and it was incredibly peaceful.

The location is very quiet, it seemed to be just a tiny town, in a very nice area. not sure there is much to do, but we found a small market and saw some restaurants around as well. For us, it was perfect as we wanted just a quiet relaxing place to lay our heads!

We are already looking forward to our next stay if and when we ever get back to the area! The treatment from the staff, the bartender and a gentleman I think may have been the owner were all incredible.
