This is a beautiful little medieval town with cobbled streets and impressive ancient buildings. A central feature is the large cathedral of Colegiata of St. Juliana, where you can visit the cloisters or attend Catholic mass. It stands in a square which is bordered by an art museum (Jesus Otero). A few cobbled streets run off the square, with plenty of restaurants and hotels to choose from. They are proud of their cheese and other local produce, so there are several shops dedicated to this. The Conventa Clarisas (convent of the poor Clares) is also very charming and is famous for its pastries for sale. We stayed in the beautiful Hotel Casa del Marques, whose staff were very friendly and welcoming, in a well-appointed and spacious room with large comfortable bed, seating areas and ensuite, all in keeping with the charming classic style of the hotel. We also spent a night at the Hotel los Infantes, which is impressively grand. It is easy to access this small town on foot, but it is possible to drive through the cobbled streets and there is a public car park which is free. The town is not actually on the coast, but is 10 minutes' drive from pretty local beaches.

This is a must-see, very beautiful town.
This is a must-see, very beautiful town. It is close to the Altamira Caves, although we decided not to visit them. We ate in a little restaurant at the square and the food was incredible and very cheap. We got to Santillana del Mar by car and it was easy to find, parking is available and overnight parking was free.

Santillana del Mar is a well preserved historic town in beautiful setting. Lovely to walk the cobbled streets and soak in the ambiance of the old town. The Catholic Church was really interesting as was local museum- downside was no English signage in either.
Barely 2km from town is the astounding Cave of Altamira and museum. They have protected these prehistoric caves by building a museum containing an accurate replica of the caves and artwork. That alongside a fascinating exhibition of the era concerned made for a compelling visit. In high season, best to get there early as there are limited numbers going through the museum. Lovely walking through area and viewing (from distance) original cave entrance. Beautifully maintained and very helpful staff. Information in Spanish & English.
Multitude of cafe/restaurants in old town with great food

This place is unique, as are each of the houses / places to stay - so much character! The church of Santa Juliana is a gem, and the 12th century cloister is amazing. The village is a lovely blend of culture and country - incredible architecture and free-range chickens / horses. Altogether delightful!

Santillana del Mar is a beautiful village with some lovely buildings but is leaning towards being overly touristy and much of what was on sale was repetitive and not great quality.
However, it has a superb ceramics shop - if you are interested in lovely pieces then do visit ARPA.Also a lovely little leather goods sho[ and a couple of decent jewellers .

The staff were very friendly and helpful. We were made to feel very at home. The hotel was impressively decorated in a classic style with seating areas both in and outside which were very comfortable and suitable for quiet drinks and lounging/reading after a day out. The room was spacious and well-decorated with comfortable seating and a very large comfortable bed. Breakfast was buffet style offering a large selection, with hot food (e.g. scrambled eggs with bacon) made to order.
This is a gem of a property, our host Martina shows how these places can be run efficiently, breakfast is basic but excellent and enough for us . Martina speaks English and has good advice as to the local area which is the reason we were there, Santillana del Mar is only 15 minutes walk and is a stunning medieval town, many restaurants and bars although not all open when tourist season is coming to a close.
Old traditional and very stylish house right in the center of Santillana with safe private parking; our room was immaculate, beautiful and had a very modern and stylish bath; superb breakfast; the manager and ‚Jack of all Trades‘ Raff was very friendly, witty and helpful with different recommendations concerning i.e. trips to the near coast or our further journey through Spain
We were met by Angela who gave us a thorough introduction to the area. The location, environment and apartment itself were very good. The accommodation is about a 15 minute walk from Santillana del Mar but we thoroughly enjoyed the rural setting and walk into town. The apartment was comfortable and satisfied most of our needs in terms of facilities.
Breakfast was excellent. Staff were very helpful. Everything was spotless with great attention to detail including the garage! Very comfy bed. A few minutes walk to the centre of Santillana del mar. A few minutes drive to see the impressive caves of Altamira. Used it as a base to visit different areas of Cantabria.
As a Parador, the hotel has to meet high standards - and it does so.
Check-in easy, parking close by and safe.
Rooms are spacious and beds are very comfortable.
Situated inside the historic village of Santillana del Mar, everything is in walking distance.
We had no breakfast, so no comment in this regard.
Beautiful character hotel with amazing furnishings. Large spacious light filled room with balcony(209). Very well located beside the old town and parking opposite the hotel (limited spaces) but additional parking nearby. Fantastic staff who can’t do enough to be helpful. Highly recommend
Wow. Super Cosy hotel in the heart of Santillana. Really authentic and super friendly staff. I would have rated it 10, but one of my clients was allergic to mold and got sick. So if you have allergies take that into account, but if not please stay here in Santiallana!
It was convenient being able to arrive late (with the key under the door mat) and it was nice not to navigate in-town parking…BUT there were some very nice and hotel options that would have made it worth the hassle
It was enjoyable to stay near the historic old town of Santillana del Mar after the tour bus and all the tourist had left. The room was quaint and comfortable. We especially enjoyed sitting on the balcony.
Simple hotel located just outside the historic center of Santillana del Mar, large room, lovely terrace outside hotel, very clean, host offered scrambled eggs at included breakfast (a luxury!)
Beautiful little hotel with fantastic breakfast. Very reasonable price. Very friendly staff. Close to everything. Loved it here and they stored my bicycle. Fantastic shower too.
Excellent hotel. Very good location. Exceptionally friendly staff who are bilingual. Excellent breakfast. Comfortable bed, and large room. Very modern. Very clean.
What a beautiful, historic hotel! I especially loved the garden areas and fireplaces for drinks and gorgeous reading spots! All of the staff was so lovely and charming.
Fantastic location, helpful and welcoming staff, comfortable room, generous breakfast. Offers a home-like atmosphere but with the professionalism of a well-run hotel.
Very elegant and very clean. Comfortable beds, night lamps at each bed. Short walk to all Santillana Del Mar attractions. Restaurant and cafeteria on site.
