Nestled in the medieval village of Santillana del Mar, this hotel has plenty of rustic charm and picturesque views over the surrounding garden and countryside.

Thanks to the Solana's great location, you can enjoy mountain, beach and culture during your holiday. The golden beaches of the Cantabrian coastline are just over 3 km away while the fine city of Santander is 20 km away and worth a daytrip. Alternatively, explore the beautiful scenery with a long country walk. Make a visit to the enchanting Altamira caves, under a kilometre from the Solana.

Beatriz was a wonderful hostess. She was very welcoming and very helpful. We can certainly recommend a stay at Posada La Solana.

This is a wonderful rural property overlooking the beautiful town of Santillana del Mar. It was a short drive or walk into town and a reasonable drive to the Picos de Europa. We were a group of 5 and found the house had everything we needed and had comfortable beds. It is peaceful, scenic and charming. We would definitely stay again. The owner met us to let us in. Although language was a difficulty he was welcoming and managed to explain all we needed to know. Thank you, Jesus, for a very enjoyable stay.

    Our second stay in Sep 2023. A different room this time - outside the main building. Not as good as our previous room but to be expected as a little older I suspect. Great location for Santander and the beautiful town of Santillana del Mar. Great hospitality, lovely breakfasts, tranquil location in quiet countryside location off the beaten track. Superb gardens. Very Dog friendly which is a bonus for us.

    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

    Beautiful view from our window of countryside with mooing cows. Location is quiet, but only a two minute walk into the town. Beatrix was super helpful with suggestions and seems to really enjoy what she does. Spotlessly clean room.
