The whole pace breathed with lay back air. We enjoyed our stay so much that we decided to extend it. Thank you for the great stay.

This renovated, 16th-century palace is set in a pedestrianised area of Santillana del Mar’s historic town centre. It lies just a few metres from Plaza Mayor and La Colegiata Románica.

The hostel is located in front of the Tourism Office. This small town is filled with impressive historic buildings, and outside it you will find some of Spain’s best green landscape.

The staff were very friendly and knowledgeable about the area. The building is super interesting and full of unique items, ask reception about them if you’re curious!

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    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!

    Great location close to the centre of the beautiful village of Santillana del Mar. Plenty of off street safe parking. Lovely looking property with country views to the village. Run by very friendly and helpful people. Room was clean and comfortable with a great shower. Would definitely stay again.
