MOUNTAIN HOUSE IN OMOÑO
Olga's house is amazing. We spent a weekend with 2 families (9 people) with 2 dogs and I can only praise the place, the kindness and attention of Olga at all times. The house's countryside and the barbecue area with its open cabin to eat under cover are worth mentioning (we barbecued and spent a very pleasant afternoon). The huge playground... indescribable... we spent hours in the morning, afternoon and evening (games of foosball, ping pong, air hockey table, darts, Atari, ... and even my daughters learned to play American pool), an area that gives an extra plus to the house. Closed garage for 2/3 cars makes access super easy. The area is very nice, with pedestrian paths for walking and close to many places of interest. The treatment that Olga has given us has been endearing and I don't want to leave the Food Truck that is next to the house and that her son, daughter-in-law and Olga run... spectacular place, service and food. Be sure to visit it. "THANK YOU OLGA"

Nice apartment in Solares, between valleys and beaches
Magda is a fantastic host, who responded promptly to all our questions. He gave us a lot of recommendations for places to visit near the apartment, restaurants, shops etc. He's very friendly and helpful As for the apartment, it stands out for its exquisite cleanliness, order and comfort, in addition to being very well located to visit the most touristy areas of Cantabria. It's definitely one of the best homes we've been to. Our rating is 10. Thank you Magda.

Rental of Chalet Playa Cerrias
Very nice and spacious house and very nice see view. Close to all amenities of Liencres, which we also liked a lot. We had really enjoyable stay there, short, but really nice.

House for rent in Noja
Perfect house with everything you need and the porch and garden of 10. The beds and the sofa are very comfortable. The location between the beaches and the village on a very quiet street in front of the golf course makes it an ideal place to disconnect. The enclosure is totally fenced so it was perfect to have the dog loose and enjoy it as much as we do. The owner has been attentive from the first moment. Undoubtedly a place to repeat.

The Essence
Very lovely & quaint place with all the necessities to feel at home!

Santander Your home away from home.
Perfect accommodation, all new, clean and well maintained. MaryaM is attentive, very friendly and available at all times. The only less positive aspect is the difficulty in finding parking in the area, which takes away from the accommodation's maximum score, although Santander has become a city with difficult parking. Congratulations MaryaM, great apartment and great service.

Beach apartment
Manuel's house was cozy, everything was clean and made a very satisfactory first impression, the area is spectacular, the beach is very close, places of interest and very well connected, whenever we travel the purpose is to disconnect and relax without being aware of the time and I think we have achieved it because we were left wanting more.

Apartment in Playa de la Concha
A perfect stay, the apartment is next to the seaside beach and very close to the crazy one, perfect plan to surf since it also has a surf school next to the house. Manuel was very kind and attentive to our needs, and on the floor we were very comfortable, it is as described. In short, a very nice and quiet stay to spend a few days at the beach.

Buendia Beach Apartments
Great family stay in the accommodation. Functional and pleasant accommodation. Very good relationship with Fernando, responsive, shares knowledge about his area. Excellent!

Cozy apartment in the center (G-103930)
Very cozy accommodation, everything is super well decorated and super clean. Good location in downtown Santander. Marta's good service is noteworthy. PS: if you're a fan of Harry Potter and the Red Queen saga, it has the books as decoration or in case you want to read them. 10/10 stay, highly recommended. If I were to go back, I have no doubt that I would like to repeat.

"EuroMar" apartment, Somo beach. Parking
The house is spacious, the living room is perfect for eating and spending time for 4 people. The beds are new and comfortable. The garage is easily accessible. And the house is right in the center, not far from the beach. Sergio quickly answered all our questions and Pilar gave us a good description of the local restaurants. We'll be back if it's available

Apart-Casa PalValle2 Abionzo_VallesPasiegos
The house is even more beautiful than in the photos, with plenty of space and a huge window in the living room overlooking the valley, where you can see how the clouds stay in the lower part. It has a giant patio, a good fireplace and a perfectly equipped kitchen with everything you need. All the rooms are large with good beds and duvets, and with three bathrooms, all very comfortable and complete as well as beautiful. The house's climate control is perfect with radiant floor heating. It's super comfortable, everything was great. Communication with Javier was very good and he also shows you nearby routes and places of interest.

ground floor with private garden next to the beach
New apartment, well kept and clean. The area is quiet and the terrace is very large. Easy parking. Sonia was always on the lookout and was quick to answer any questions. We have been 4 adults and 2 dogs like in our home, very comfortable. Beach 5-10 minutes walk away.

The plane house
Gabriel was very attentive the day before arrival in case we had any questions. Upon arrival Gabriel was waiting for us outside the house and as soon as we arrived, both the father and Gabriel gave us a warm welcome. They were especially kind to both us and the children. They showed us both the inside of the house and the garden outside, and parking for the car inside the house grounds. The house was very clean, it has small details that make it special, such as a cinema screen in the living room, colored LED lights in one of the rooms, with a TV in both. Both the rooms and the kitchen are very complete (they offer water and coca colas in the refrigerator as a welcome, nice touch). A very quiet area, with little traffic and some horses very close by. We had to move the trip up one day, 2 days before check-in, and Gabriel and his father made it easy for us to make the change. Thank you for your stay!

Spectacular house. Nearby beach, parking and Wi-Fi.
Everything was wonderful. The house is great, even better than the photos, I would say. Quiet place, very comfortable beds, the garden is a delight with sunshine and the kitchen is closed for breakfast. Armando was super friendly and attentive to our comfort. Very nice and grateful.

The living mountain (HAYA CORVA) Beach and Mountain.
Apartment in an unbeatable location to enjoy a few days of relaxation and nature. It is exactly as shown in the photos, cozy and very secluded and clean.
