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.

Very nice host, excellent communication in advance (navigation, parking), excellent location within the village and with respect to the area (few mins to Altamira by car).

    Very comfortable stay, we loved how spotlessly clean everything was. The apartment is in a quiet location tucked away from the road and town. It has a lovely garden to relax in or for the kids or pets to play. It is equipped with everything you would need. Bed is very comfortable, everything is functional and carefully thought out. Would love to come back again in the future.

    This was amazing. Our first rest day on the Camino and we treated ourselves. Lovely pool and a well-equipped apartment that was quite spacious. Just on the outskirts of Santillina del Mar it is an easy stroll into this beautiful historic town. Highly recommended for those craving a little luxury.

    Very relaxing hotel. Super pool and gardens. Lovely bedroom. We really liked the jacuzzi bath. We were so pleased that we could borrow ebikes. We didn’t plan to have breakfast but we were so pleased that we did. Super service and delicious food. It was also a lovely touch being giving a bag with water and biscuits for the journey.

    Loved this small hotel, very modern, immaculate and very comfortable. View of the pool area from our room, which had a jacuzzi bath. Shame we couldn't use the pool or the pool area as it was too cold. Well made video about the hotel playing behind the reception desk. Close, 5 minute walk, to the lovely little town of Santillana del Mar, where there are a lot of old buildings and lots of restaurants. Fairly close to Santander so good for finishing a tour.

    Am writing this review on behalf of my boyfriend who stayed here. He said the following about his stay... Staff were lovely. Room was excellent value for money. Location was perfect - far enough out not to be in the throng of it but only 5 mins walk from centre. Wifi worked well. There's a bar on-site. Was pleasantly surprised by having table service at breakfast.
