Palacio de Arce

Beautiful rustic hotel. Large secure car park. Welcoming lovely lady on reception. She was very helpful and so busy - reception, waitress at lunch and breakfast. Large, spacious suite. Clean and comfortable. Air conditioning. Fridge and coffee machine. First class lunch. Amazing food and an extra small course from the chef. Had a lovely walk into small village with 2 bakeries/cafes. Would definitely like to stay again.

Picked a suite, and this was very well appointed. The bed was King Size and very comfy. The food in the restaurant is excellent, with a small menu and portions that offer quality over quantity and is reasonably priced. Breakfast was typical continental, but had a good choice of cold meats, bread, yoghurts, etc, so everything you need. There's plenty of comfy outside seating, should you wish to have a drink and soak up the sun, although the bar is just that, although there may be some seating inside, but we have never seen any other than for the restaurant. There are 4 EV Chargers, which is very reasonable, but you need the Iberdrola app and register, which is very problematic, so I would do this well in advance of your stay. Note: These are not contactless. The car park is very large and secure within the grounds, which, if, like us, you are travelling with your car full, it's perfect knowing that everything is safe.

This is a gorgeous hotel, and our room was very nice. It's a classic old stone building, but it is surrounded by structures with modern architecture. There is not much in the closest village, so we opted to eat at the hotel's elegant restaurant. Our meal cost more than the room, but it was a special treat for us. We stayed here while walking the Camino. The breakfast options were good.

Beautiful old place, easy to reach on the way to Santander. Sympathetically modernised, it would be a wonderful wedding venue. The room had been carefully modernised while emphasising original features. The restaurant looked great but we hadn't booked so didn't try it.

Our fourth stay and every bit as good as before. We stayed in an attic suite, most comfortable, with an excellent bathroom and served by a lift. Supper in the restaurant was very good, our waitress Elena most accomplished and welcoming so too the other waiting staff whose names we neglected to ask! The delicious buffet breakfast was full of choice and well presented, the waitress excellent. Private parking is alongside the hotel. The hotel is easy to find, offers ample parking alongside and is just 20 minutes from the ferry port at Santander.
