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.

Hotel Casa del Marqués, hotel in Santillana del Mar

Residence to the ‘Marquis of Santillana’ back in the 15th century, the building has now been carefully renovated into this delightful 5-star hotel.

The staff were very friendly and helpful. We were made to feel very at home. The hotel was impressively decorated in a classic style with seating areas both in and outside which were very comfortable and suitable for quiet drinks and lounging/reading after a day out. The room was spacious and well-decorated with comfortable seating and a very large comfortable bed. Breakfast was buffet style offering a large selection, with hot food (e.g. scrambled eggs with bacon) made to order.

    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 .

    The hosteria has an excellent location, on the main road into town 3 minutes from where the bus drops you in the city, minutes from everything but not in the tourist-overloaded center. (Note: google maps has location wrong if searching by address, but correct if searching by name). It was spotlessly clean, quiet at night, had a well-appointed room with a refrigerator with bottles of water, toiletries in the bathroom. No breakfast but owner told me of a delicious buffet breakfast 2 minutes away at Hotel La Casona de Revolgo.

    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!
