Paula United States of America

This is by far the most beautiful building we have stayed in. We were told it was a palace built in the 16th century and you truly feel like you're staying in a palace! The antique furniture and art makes every room unique and beautiful. The staff were friendly and welcoming. The breakfast was a plentiful buffet of meats, cheeses, coffee, pastries, ect. The location could not have been better, walk out the front door into the heart of the old town. The public parking is very close by and only 4 euro a day. Great place to stay when visiting Altamira and Santillana de Mar.
