Casona de San Pantaleon is a small hotel tucked away in a surprising location, surrounded by water and accessed by a small mediaeval bridge. The isolation adds to the sense of oneness with the environment; the mountains, the rivers and the valleys, yet in reality the hotel is easily accessible from the airports and ferries at Santander and Bilbao.

The restoration and conversion has kept the Casona looking just like a casona (country house) should: big, square, rustic, and looking like it could withstand an artillery siege. The hotel sits in over an acre of land, planted with fruit trees and native species, washed on one side by a mill stream and on the other by the river Clarin.

The hotel has seven rooms, including three suites. They are spacious and individually designed to take full advantage of the 400 years of history that has gone into their making. They all have telephone, television, central heating and most have the option of twin beds or a double.

The heart of the house is the three storey hall and stairs with it's stone entrance arch and huge wooden door. The mixture of stone, brick, wood, plaster, ironwork and tiles bears witness to the long and varied history of the house. The dining room leads off from here, a cosy little space dominated by the stone entrance arch of the mediaeval tower at the centre of the house. There is also a lounge with a large old fireplace, another cosy place for reading, relaxing or chatting with friends. The spa is located in the loft, where there is a sauna, steam bath, hydromassage shower, mini hydromassage pool and a relaxation zone offering exclusive use for two people.

Casona de San Pantaleon is in a handy position, not too far for a visit to Bilbao, and with ready access to all the beaches and marine scenery of the Cantabrian coast as well as the mountains of Cantabria. It's a little populated area of great ecological importance for its varied flora, fauna and geology.

We Say

The Cantabria coast is one of the lesser-known gems of Spain, and the Casona de Pantaleon in turn is a jewel in the crown of Cantabria. The work that has gone into the restoration is just fantastic. It has been so well planned that it doesn't look planned at all.

A Word from the Owner

We would like to invite all our guests to share a moment with nature in the garden, or come inside and have a chat by the warmth of the fireplace.
