Helguera Palacio Boutique & Antique in Santander

This is long overdue. We stayed here for three nights last summer and enjoyed every minute of it. The setting let alone remodeled historic structure are enough to draw us back to this wonderful hotel. We had dinner every night and the food was some of the best we had in all of our two weeks of travel across Spain. Embrace the unique charm of this hidden gem and you will certainly have a wonderful experience.

Fabulous Authentic Small Luxury Hotel. Loved staying here this spring. Good food, lovely indoor pool, super comfy beds and gorgeous interiors. Surrounded by quiet farmland and pretty gardens. Staff were kind and helpful. Would love to return in the future.

Gorgeous Hotel
Lovely rural boutique hotel. Gorgeous spa which we enjoyed all on our own - they light the fire for us and it was fabulous! Food very good indeed. Thoroughly recommend staying here.

Astonishing!
One of the best experiences we’ve had after many trips. The location, atmosphere, architecture, decor, details, service, and attention were impeccable. Worth returning to.

We stayed for two very enjoyable nights. The staff are exceptional, nothing is too much trouble. The grounds are beautiful very calm & relaxing. The rooms are a tranquil oasis. We ate at the restaurant both nights all meals excellent & showed local ingredients. We loved our stay here, it was so nice.

I booked this property as s gift for a couple and their feedback was that the entire Helguera Team was absolutely outstanding . They took very good care of every small detail requested by Me , therefore making their stay even more special. Thank you all for making my friend’s stay so memorable.

We had 2 wonderful quiet nights at the Palacio, everything was excellent from start to beginning, the whole staff did everything to let us feel well looked after but also give us privacy. This is the place to stay if you are looking for some quiet relaxing days. The restaurant is maybe the nicest restaurant we have been to, related to the atmosphere. It is just lovely decorated with everything from excelent seats to the nice harmony of tableware and the room decoration, everything match up and the service of the employee are top class. The food they serve is also of high class and fresh.

Excellent small hotel. Tucked away in the hills with lovely views all in an interesting and well restored building; comfortable bedroom and lovely restaurant with excellent good value food plus friendly staff. Well located for local attractions.

We spent two nights in one of the light filled attic rooms of this spectacular site. The first afternoon we rested from our travels in the glass enclosed pool and hot tub area taking in the incredible views. Ander, our host, was welcoming and attentive. We felt very much at home in this luxurious setting. Our first night we enjoyed the tasting menu and wine pairing at the restaurant. Our dining and breakfast events were in the capable hands of charming Irma. Both Irma and Ander spoke English and although I don’t mind using my limited Spanish skills, it was not necessary here. The Hotel is an easy 30 minute drive to Santander where we spent a day shopping and people watching at the beach. Our GPS brought us directly to the Hotel. As we climbed the narrow road above the little town Las Presillas, we began to realize what a secluded spot we had found. The rooms have been thoughtfully designed with lots of outlets and space to relax. It is the perfect combination of modern designer luxury in a historic mansion. . We would be happy to return for a longer stay.
