The apartment was lovely with a cosy vibe set in an incredibly tranquil and beautiful location but only minutes from Potes. We loved eating our breakfast looking at the views and spent a late afternoon relaxing by the pool after a long day hiking. Just magic! The owners were incredibly hospitable and made us feel very welcome. Would highly recommend.

FAQs about hotels in Cantabria

The Colours of Nature

Bordered by the Bay of Biscay to the north, the small Spanish region of Cantabria is known for undulating, lush landscapes which sharply rise to sheer peaks in the south-western Picos de Europa mountain range.

The capital Santander is an important port and has a long promenade lining its sandy beach. The coastline to the west is packed with Cantabria hotels on the beach, some of which are in Comillas. This small town has a number of interesting buildings, including Gaudí’s Capricho. West in the Oyambre National Park is San Vincente de la Barquera. Take to the water for spectacular views of this village, its impressive bridge and the often snow-capped mountains beyond.

At Suances to the east, green cliffs plunge to the sea, while nearby medieval Santillana del Mar is the closest town to the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Altamira cave paintings. Another medieval jewel is inland Potes whose cobbled streets and stone bridge over a stream are all in the shade of the Cantabrian mountains. In the east of the region, the rocks at Noja descend into crystal-clear waters, while Laredo’s curving bay ends in a hill that offers lovely views.

Whether you opt for one of the luxury hotels in Cantabria, an apartment or guest house, Booking.com has a great range of choice.

    We absolutely loved our stay at Cabañas con Encanto! It totally met all of our expectations. The location is incredibly serene and peaceful, surrounded only by other cabins spaced out at a perfect distance, with the soothing sound of the river in the valley below. The view was simply breathtaking! From the moment we arrived, we felt warmly welcomed—the hosts had already heated the cabin for us, making it cozy and inviting. Everything we needed for a comfortable stay was provided: a well-equipped kitchen (including a moka pot, toaster, pans, and even a dishwasher), a reliable heating system, a hot shower, and a charming fireplace with firewood ready to use. We couldn’t have imagined a better place to spend two perfect days immersed in nature. Highly recommended—this place is truly magical!

    Located a short drive away from San Vicente de la Barquera, Bungalows Playa Oyambre is a camping & caravanning site with wooden bungalows to stay in if you are not camping. Facilities on the site are excellent, there is a bar/restaurant & a shop, play areas for kids, outdoor & indoor pools and a gym. Dog friendly for a charge of €10 a night and free parking outside your bungalow. The beach is a short walk away but uphill on the way back. San Vicente town is worth a visit although parking can be a challenge. Popular with people travelling to or from the Santander ferry. Makes a good first or last stop.

    A lovely hotel on the peninsula. The receptionist explained everything to us in beautiful English which was really appreciated. The hotel was spotless and away from the road. It had its own beach and pool. A perfect place to spend the last night of our holiday. We booked a superior room with terrace, sea view and half board. Really good value. The evening meal was delicious and breakfast had all you could want. We had the most amazing view of the bay. The hotel provides swimming towels.

It wasn't too far from the centre and close enough to walk to a lot of nearby attractions or to jump on the bus. We would recommend staying if you can, the staff are pleasant and the outdoor bar is great fun.

    Santander is a popular resort for mainly Spanish visitors.

    Santander is a popular resort for mainly Spanish visitors. It's an attractive city with plenty to see and do. It's family friendly too. It's easy to get to nearby Bilbao, or to Potes in the mountains. There are fast and frequent coach services all over the region. It may not attract A list celebrities or have the glamour of San Sebastian, but it has plenty of appeal if you are looking for a sun and sea holiday, and pinxtos too!

    Beautiful historic buildings on the historic pilgrim way. Dining out was on the expensive side. Three days would have been about right as you can see most of museums within that timeframe. Poor public transport so a car is a must.

    We stayed here because we had a ferry to catch the following day it only took us 30minutes to drive from here to Santander. It was a beautiful town, beautiful views, houses and was a very quiet calm atmosphere. We were glad we picked and booked the hotel we stayed in. We will return next year for our return home from Portugal.

    We were there at a quiet time - at the height of the tourist season I imagine it could be rather busy. If you enjoy a variety of sea views - beaches and rocky coastlines - then the area is perfect. Also the hinterland is very varied with numerous pretty villages and excellent driving roads.

    Castro Urdiales is a beautiful place to visit and stay. The people there are friendly and helpful In bars/cafes/shops etc where staff are plesent and helpful at all times. The area is very clean and welcoming. There are beautiful walks and interesting places to see. It is very easy to get round the area and buses are plentiful. Eating and drinking is in abundance everywhere. The entire town is walker friendly and very beautiful at night when the Cathedral and Castle are lit up.

    Borja, Lorrena, Fernando and Diego (barman - not his real name) were fantastic staff members at Hotel Olimpo, so friendly, welcoming, helpful and fun. Food was amazing, hotel was immaculate with beautiful views. Amazing location, lovely walk across the beach to Noja. Isla is lovely with quirkly little shops and nice walks. I stayed here with my husband and teenage son and all three of us had a fabulous time and look forward to returning. Was great to kick back and slow down from a fast paced life back home to a relaxing break in Isla.

    Laredo has a lovely old part to the town with a huge number of places to eat and drink. There is also a beautiful Gothic style church with a Guide who speaks English. 1,euro entry. The Comino trail runs along the coast and through the town so is easily accessible. Near to the harbour/marina is a tunnel which runs through the cliff about 200 metres. Free. There are murals on the walls of fish. A trip to Santona by boat is well worth it as it goes out across the bay to see the lighthouse and along the coast to see the old Forts. There is also an excellent natural history museum which looks at the history of the area and the wildlife. Free entry. There is also a footpath where you can walk out to the Forts and lighthouse. The Alsa coach service runs coaches all over Spain and are very reasonable, best to book online. Santander to Laredo direct took 40minutes and cost 22euros for seniors. The coaches have reclining seats, WiFi, toilets. The area is very Spanish with few people speaking English but they are extremely helpful.

    San Vicente is very Spanish and where the Spanish like to holiday - especially in August - to escape the heat of the cities further south. While the staff in hospitality are generally happy to help, visitors with a good knowledge of Spanish will enjoy it more. Known for its excellent seafood, and local cheeses, it is a feast for the eyes!

    The journey coming into Potes from all directions is stunning with the mountains, gorges and forests. The town is historically beautiful and the walk opportunities aplenty with degrees of difficulty. Absolutely a must place to go too. The cable car a must do and consider the 14km walk down that is graded moderate but my opinion moderate - difficult. With lots of boggy areas. Spotted many farm animals and those large farm animal protection dogs. And a bonus spotted 2 small deer and had an encounter with a friendly and curious donkey. Potes offers many places to wine and dine and the township is easy to walk and if driving several free car parking lots are available.

    We loved the general 'Feel' of the town, the atmosphere in the streets by day and at night, the generally very high quality of tapas and dinners everywhere we ate, the very genuine sense of spirituality (notably in the attendance and participation of church-goers) and, of course the wonderful buildings, including Gaudi's Capricio.
