 Located in a remarkable 17th century building, the structure of the hotel is that of a mansion with a monumental façade between two towers. In this house, belonging to Mr. Juan Fernández de Valle, this building style reaches its height of magnificence, making this building one of the most important palaces of Cantabria.
It was designed by the architect Mr. Diego de Sisniega, who also designed the Monastery of El Esqorial.
The building received its final touches in 1610 during the dawn of the classical period in Cantabria. The many aspects of the building, decor and furnishing which excite the admiration include the frescoes on the ceilings of the main lounge areas, dating back to 1886 and painted by León Criaca. One of the objects which deserves a special mention is the 17th century Bargueño as well as the 18th century Dutch-style chest of drawers in the lounge. Further ornamental objects include a magnificent mirror from the original furnishings of the palace and dating back to the 19th century, a very interesting collection of fans and two crystal lamps from Murano and La Granja.
But however remarkable the building and its furnishings, the care with which we look after all the details in the accomodation of our guests is no less remarkable. We tend to all the rooms and suites every day so that everything is perfect.
Our special care for the restaurant service is worthy of mention, with an established reputation for quality which is reflected in the real appreciation of our diners for our catering.
The careful selection of raw materials with the best preparation (following the canon of the master chefs) and exquisite presentation, together make it difficult to resist the temptation of our restaurant.
But the cherry on the cake is of course our unique situation, on the banks of the river Asón, in the midst of beautiful scenery, surrounded by green meadows and leafy woods where nature can be seen in all its original splendour.
We also offer the possibility of accomodation in our charming cabins, cared for and decorated with exquisite taste, where you have all the privacy you could wish for.
