It was a beautiful place that wasn't too big so not too busy. The pool was lovely. The spa in the room was great. We really enjoyed breakfast. There are some cafes across the road and the main street is only a few minutes away to walk to.
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 hotel was in the old town but had secure parking at the back. The hotel is in a very old building and everything was just outside. Our room was very comfortable and the staff were very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was a la carte and could be had in the garden or inside.

A pretty town, famous for being one, and for the Altamira cave. Altamira is primarily a museum now as the cave is off limits; at the museum you can tour a reproduction. Nevertheless it’s an important site and the town, though very touristy, makes a good base for exploring the Cantabrian coast west of Santander.

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!

The bed and pillows were very comfy, the view is great, you can see the hill and the horses going about it :) the location is very convenient too, just 2 min walk to the main square. Also the parking is a great plus, is just on the side to the property and it is reserved for the hotel's guests (free of charge). We were very happy about it since we came to Santillana del Mar by car. I would suggest this hotel for sure!
This hotel is a true gem, everything was perfect. The property is nestled in the picturesque medieval town of Santillana del Mar. Great breakfast, cozy atmosphere, spotless rooms, charming interiors. The location is ideal for wandering around the town, and there are incredible views of the countryside from the terrace. Our host, Rafa, was the absolute best! All in all, a stay we won't forget :)
Perfectly located in the center of Santillana, one of the most beautiful medieval towns. The room was very clean, quiet, had a bathtub that I used and was in the most charming hotel. The staff was incredibly helpful and nice. One of the best places for a great price - and it offered a continental breakfast buffet
Beautified Hospedaje in Santillana del mar. Traditional old building simpathetically furnished, spotlessly clean and very comfortable accomodation. Situated on the Camino del Norte. A lovely historical property, very pretty in keeping with rest of the town.
It’s just a very lovely traditional house in a small village in attractive countryside and less than 15 mins easy walk into the very beautiful Santillana Del Mar. The hostess and her family are very nice people. Excellent value.
Wonderful staff, comfortable beds, great bathroom, attractive room and a lovely place to sit outside in the front of the hotel. The grounds were beautiful with flowers, etc. Parking was right there and easy to access.
Extremely hospitable staff, charming hotel with memorabilia representative of old Spain, including an incredible clock collection. Could not be better situated, right opposite the pedestrian entrance to the old city.
Simple hotel located just outside the historic center of Santillana del Mar, large room, lovely terrace outside hotel, very clean, host offered scrambled eggs at included breakfast (a luxury!)
Great location, very close and walkable to the center of Santillana Del Mar. Beatriz is very accommodating and takes the time to make recommendations of things to see in the area.
Friendly family welcome. Room extremely tasteful and clean. Lovely garden to sit in. Santillana del Mar very close by. Lovely continental breakfast. Would stay here again.
Characterful and high quality hotel. Unusual bedrooms and unsuited bathrooms. Very comfortable. Tea and coffee making facilities and complimentary items.
