Extra special

Most probably the best place I have ever stayed, and I have had hundreds.

The Gardens and Grounds were lovely. However, there were virtually no staff - possibly because there were only 2 other guests and consequently we were asked if we would accept a room in the main building rather than what we had booked in a villa. The first room we were given smelt of drains. We were moved to the second floor with no lift which was inconvenient for my wife. The evening meal was very disappointing (processed food) and the last straw was no hot water the next morning. We left a day early and were told that there would be no refund - Although I hadn't asked for one a gesture would have been appreciated.

This is a stunning property because of its unique building and large, lovely estate. The 1610 original structure is intriguing yet the rooms are reasonably modern.

Lovely hotel in the mountains

Posted 10 Aug 2018
Pros: Beautiful old building with well maintained grounds.
Location: You would really need to travel there by car. Able to explore surrounding area - small villages and beautiful scenery.
Hotel had beautiful gardens with a lovely swimming pools which our two young boys enjoyed. Good restaurant that served breakfast, lunch and dinner. Breakfast was included. The chef organised an amazing chocolate birthday cake for our son who turned 6 while we were there.

Beautiful Cantabria

Posted 14 Apr 2018 on Hotels
We had the unique opportunity to stay 3 nights at Torre de Ruesga. This 400 years old palace was thoughtfully reconstructed, creating perfect harmony between modernity and history in every detail. Sleeping at the top of the stone tower really makes you imagine how people lived there 400 years ago. The garden and the surroundings are extremely beautiful and peaceful. breakfast is standard, but the highlight is definitely the personal service and hospitality. The friendly staff went out of their way to make our stay special, and especially Gonzalo - the perfect host, knowledgeable and patient, who tailored trips and sightseeing for us in the beautiful area of Cantabria.

Our best stay yet

Posted 2 Jul 2014 on Hotels
The hotel is midst wonderful scenery yet only 40 minutes from Santander or Bilbao ferries. The service from the owner Giorgio was excellent and the restaurant food was very good and reasonably priced. Clean and comfortable spacious rooms tastefully decorated with all amenities. We have already booked for a return visit later in the summer.
