    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!

    The accommodation was beautiful and everything was exactly as we expected from description and photographs. This family run posada is a gem because it is just outside of the main village but close enough to walk. Great car parking facilities too! Having a kettle and fridge in the room was very good 👍 lovely hosts who speak only a little English , we wish we spoke more Spanish.

    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!

    А wonderful guest house, in which the owners have created a friendly, welcoming atmosphere. The rooms are clean, pleasantly cool on a hot day. There is a swimming pool. Adela always greets with a smile, cleans to music. You feel welcome here. The house is only hundreds of meters from the old town, instead there is quiet and nature begins here
