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.

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.

    Charming and warm, old-fashioned country hotel. The hallways and rooms were beautifully decorated. The hotel is right in the town centre, which is very convenient. The staff was very friendly and helpful and even lets me check-in two hours before official check-in time.

    I cannot rate this place highly enough. I got there at 10am and knew my room would not be ready. Rafi took my bag , took me to the car park and when I told him I had travelled through the night and would need to sleep in the afternoon, he changed my room to the quietest part of the hotel so I would not be disturbed. Breakfast was continental but had everything from freshly made toast to hams cheeses eggs and pastries plus freshly squeezed orange juice and delicious coffee. A wonderful start to my Camino journey. I hope to return

    A quiet hotel that seems to have stood still for over a hundred years. Beautifully decorated, with a lovely terrace, plants and trees. The staff are fantastic, and the rooms are big with balconies and the beds are comfortable.

    Immaculate apartment within a quiet area of Santillana. Two minute walk from the centre of this beautiful village. Pristine and comfortable. We only stayed one night on our journey to Santander ferry. Would highly recommend and we will return for a longer stay to explore the Cantabria countryside.

    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.

    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.
