Precioso hotel en edificio antiguo
Pros:

Este es uno de los mejores lugares en donde hemos estado. El sitio tiene una personalidad fantástica. Es una casa muy antigua con una decoración preciosa. Nos sentimos muy bien recibidos, además. El precio incluyó desayuno, lo que hizo de este lugar aún más especial. Los alrededores son magníficos.

Cons:

Todo estuvo bien. No se me ocurre nada que haya estado mal

Great historic hotel in the middle of one of Spain’s prettiest villages.
Pros:

The medieval charm of the building and the generous breakfast.

Cons:

Rooms were a bit stuffy in the heat wave. A fan would have been appreciated.

Comfy historical family house in middle of town
Pros:

Nice hosts, great historical family house, very different, and included breakfast was good. Beds pillows were comfy.

Cons:

No AC, but could sleep well in summer with open windows. Very quiet, even with the town parties going on we didn't hear anything.

Hotel histórico precioso en la calle principal de Santillana
Pros:

La mujer de recepción fue extremadamente amable (en cambio, una de las dos del desayuno mucho menos). Hotel histórico precioso y muy bien decorado en la calle principal de Santillana. Desayuno muy variado (las tostadas con tomate riquísimas). Se puede ir andando desde el hotel hasta el zoo. Compramos sidra buenísima en el hotel.

Cons:

El zumo de naranja del desayuno podría ser natural.
