Alojamiento muy acogedor y cómodo. Justo enfrente tienes un parque bastante grande, todo de césped, y "atracciones "para que los peques puedan jugar, mientras tú puedes estar en el patio de la posada. Muy cerca de las calles principales del pueblo. Nos recomendaron sitios para comer y cenar y todos muy buenos y económicos (al menos a los que fuimos nosotros)😃. Mi pareja no conocía Santillana del Mar y le encantó!!! Puedes dar un paseo muy agradable por sus calles empedradas y poder disfrutar de sus tiendas de todo tipo. Sin duda, el pueblo tiene su encanto! Repetiremos seguro 😃
Posada Araceli. Con un jardín muy buen cuidado y con la opción de sentarte en su terraza/patio.

Es una posada como las de antaño, el jardín muy cuidado y bonito. Lo que menos nos ha gustado ha sido que está un poco anticuado. El desayuno es "demasiado de casa" cuando llegas tienes en la mesa un trozo de pan, mantequilla, mermelada o aceite, una loncha de queso y una loncha de jamón York, una pasta, zumo de naranja y café, te, etc. Cereales, cola cao... Es correcto, pero creo que es un poco anticuado.

Una agradable experiencia.

Posada frente a un parque agradable en un entorno de hoteles, pensiones y posadas. Araceli es una notable pintora que decora la Posada con sus cuadros. Ella es muy amable. Todo el personal es muy grato y servicial. Facilitaron unas entradas en cortesia para visitar Altamira. La habitacion es basica, agradable y estilo romantico de la zona. La cama blanda y grande. la almohada no adecuada para mi cuello. La habitacion carece de AC. Estimo que en verano seria necesario pero... La ubicacion para ver Santillana es estupenda. En mi visita no hubo problemas de aparcamiento pero en mas verano puede que haya conflicto. El desayuno "continental" es basico y deficiente para el precio. Si eres vegetariano no te compensa. Recomiendo preguntar el contenido del mismo antes de contratar. Me gusto la Posada y lo mejor el servicio. Muy Recomendable.
