An enchanting rural house in the heart of Cantabria. Set at the foot of the Saja-Besaya national park, Maria's country house is a haven of peace, greenery, friendliness and art. What started as a change of lifestyle and a purchase of a ruin in 2007, quickly became a rural accommodation, a vintage shop and events hall attracting people from all over Spain and beyond. Surrounded by mountains yet just a stone-throw away from the ocean, La Curva de María offers plenty of natural, historical and cultural activities for all types of travellers. Maria's rural accommodation is a place packed with Cantabria's charm and traditions. Stone walls, massive oak beams, carefully chosen antique furniture and decor, very comfortable beds... all this at the foot of the lush Saja-Besaya Natural Reserve.

Maria is a self-started entrepreneur with a passion for art and design. When she was just out of school, she launched herself in the fashion business, opening her first store in the province of Castellón and expanding rapidly across the coast. After 20+ years in the industry, she started feeling she'd enjoy a calmer life away from the big cities and the travelling, and found her dream place in the valley of Cabuérniga. Her and family's lifestyles changed dramatically, from the busy, sunny beaches of the Mediterranean coast to the peaceful, green mountains of Cantabria. Today, Maria runs a successful guesthouse combined with a vintage store and an events hall.
