Hotel Cuevas - Adults Only, hotel in Santillana del Mar

Featuring a seasonal outdoor pool with a furnished terrace, Hotel Cuevas is located on a rustic building with modern décor and that is nestled in the picturesque village of Santillana del Mar.

I cannot rate the hotel staff - all of them - highly enough they were all exceptional. Lovely boutique hotel with pool and well appointed restaurant. This is a small town and parking was it a premium so the underground car park - €12 a day was worth it.

    This is a beautiful little medieval town with cobbled streets and impressive ancient buildings. A central feature is the large cathedral of Colegiata of St. Juliana, where you can visit the cloisters or attend Catholic mass. It stands in a square which is bordered by an art museum (Jesus Otero). A few cobbled streets run off the square, with plenty of restaurants and hotels to choose from. They are proud of their cheese and other local produce, so there are several shops dedicated to this. The Conventa Clarisas (convent of the poor Clares) is also very charming and is famous for its pastries for sale. We stayed in the beautiful Hotel Casa del Marques, whose staff were very friendly and welcoming, in a well-appointed and spacious room with large comfortable bed, seating areas and ensuite, all in keeping with the charming classic style of the hotel. We also spent a night at the Hotel los Infantes, which is impressively grand. It is easy to access this small town on foot, but it is possible to drive through the cobbled streets and there is a public car park which is free. The town is not actually on the coast, but is 10 minutes' drive from pretty local beaches.

    This is a must-see, very beautiful town.

    This is a must-see, very beautiful town. It is close to the Altamira Caves, although we decided not to visit them. We ate in a little restaurant at the square and the food was incredible and very cheap. We got to Santillana del Mar by car and it was easy to find, parking is available and overnight parking was free.

    Santillana del Mar is a well preserved historic town in beautiful setting. Lovely to walk the cobbled streets and soak in the ambiance of the old town. The Catholic Church was really interesting as was local museum- downside was no English signage in either. Barely 2km from town is the astounding Cave of Altamira and museum. They have protected these prehistoric caves by building a museum containing an accurate replica of the caves and artwork. That alongside a fascinating exhibition of the era concerned made for a compelling visit. In high season, best to get there early as there are limited numbers going through the museum. Lovely walking through area and viewing (from distance) original cave entrance. Beautifully maintained and very helpful staff. Information in Spanish & English. Multitude of cafe/restaurants in old town with great food

    This place is unique, as are each of the houses / places to stay - so much character! The church of Santa Juliana is a gem, and the 12th century cloister is amazing. The village is a lovely blend of culture and country - incredible architecture and free-range chickens / horses. Altogether delightful!

    Santillana del Mar is a beautiful village with some lovely buildings but is leaning towards being overly touristy and much of what was on sale was repetitive and not great quality. However, it has a superb ceramics shop - if you are interested in lovely pieces then do visit ARPA.Also a lovely little leather goods sho[ and a couple of decent jewellers .

    Apartamentos Santillana del Mar offers a delightful stay with its central location near the historic centre, restaurants, and bus stop. The place is clean and cosy, featuring a well-equipped kitchen with dishes and cutlery, plus a washing machine and drying rack for convenience. The outdoor area is a nice touch for relaxing. Communication with the owner is accessible, making the experience smooth and enjoyable. It's like having a small family house all to yourself. Highly recommended for a comfortable and central stay.

    For us, this hotel had it all: great location (just outside busy touristy center), easy parking (out front for free or for just €10,= /day inside), nice pool, great bar (inside and out), great breakfast, very nice comfy room, mostly at the back which made it quiet. Recommendations for restaurants although they have there own (go to Gran Duques!) and the close proximity to Altamira and the historical center of Santillana del Mar. We loved it!

    We were met by Angela who gave us a thorough introduction to the area. The location, environment and apartment itself were very good. The accommodation is about a 15 minute walk from Santillana del Mar but we thoroughly enjoyed the rural setting and walk into town. The apartment was comfortable and satisfied most of our needs in terms of facilities.

    The location was very good at the edge of a quiet and pleasant hamlet only a few kms from Santillana del Mar. The geothermal heating system was impressively warm giving plenty of hot water too. There was a very spacious and well equipped modern bathroom suite. Parking provided in a private off road parking bay right next to the accomodation.

    Nice palacio-style building outside Santillana, therefore quiet, no street noises. Comfortable beds, clean room, good size of the room. Breakfast was not buffet-style, but ok; unimaginative pastries (seems to be standard in this part of Spain). Village with sights and restaurants within walking distance (5 to 10 minutes). Free parking.
