We absolutely loved everything about our stay at Le Petit! Everyone we dealt with was incredibly friendly and helpful, the breakfasts were fantastic, and our room was impeccably clean. It was my second time staying there, and it certainly won't be the last! Definitely my favourite spot in Santander.

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.

    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.

    The location for us was perfect as we like to be close to the ocean & the view from our balcony was great. We ate in the hotel restaurant upon arrival, the meal was of good quality & if our stay had been longer we would have ate there again. Thereafter we decided to try out the other restaurants in the area. The breakfast for ourselves was well worth the additional cost, there were ample choices to suit all.

    Really nice hotel, it is huge but was almost empty when we stayed there. A lot of space and facilities. Personel was really friendly and spoke English good enough. Location is excellent; at the end of the valley next to a cable car that leads up to the mountain. Really good for hiking. The room is larger than in most other hotels with a balcony and a great view.

    Santander is so much more than a Ferry Port 'stop over'

    Santander is so much more than a Ferry Port 'stop over' It is a fantastic town/city/community all in it's own right and probably not appreciated & promoted as much as it should be by travel writers and tourist companies. No need for us to list the places we enjoyed. Just go visit and explore for yourselves. You won't be disappointed ! Thank you Santander !

    It's a pretty medieval town, and I read that they control development, yet it still allows souvenir shops! It suffers in the way all pretty touristy places do: not many decent places to eat at a reasonable price. After one evening looking around we used the hotel as a base to travel to other places. I'd recommend a day visit at most.

    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.

    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!

    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.

    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.
