    The property is beautiful and in the best location. Lovely patio with nice garden. Rooms are a bit small but this is due to the building stile.

    Central location on one of the main squares (in Santillana almost everything is central because the place is tiny). Historic building with old-fashioned interior decor, squeaky wooden floors and a good breakfast buffet. Helpful, English-speaking...
