Thanks to the Solana's great location, you can enjoy mountain, beach and culture during your holiday. The golden beaches of the Cantabrian coastline are just over 3 km away while the fine city of Santander is 20 km away and worth a daytrip. Alternatively, explore the beautiful scenery with a long country walk. Make a visit to the enchanting Altamira caves, under a kilometre from the Solana.

    The apartment was beautiful and spotlessly clean. The host was very friendly and helpful. Even with our limited Spanish and his limited English, we managed to communicate well.

    After a long journey from south of Spain we were greeted with a very warm welcome. The hotel was spotless clean, very cosy and warm 10/10. The staff were so attentive and helpful. The hotel was in an excellent location, a couple of minutes walk to centre. Our ferry was delayed by two days, and unfortunately the hotel was fully booked for the extra days, but they offered to accommodate us in another part of the hotel……customer service top notch with a warm helpful manner. We will stay here again. Perfect 100% Thankyou Hotel Los Angeles xx
