Just back from an unforgettable week at Olmares in Spain’s Picos de Europa mountain range. Perfect place to disconnect, explore the stunningly beautiful region of Cantabria, and recharge. Our apartment was spacious and well appointed, and offered spectacular views of the valley and surrounding peaks. The staff couldn’t have been more helpful and attentive. We plan to join some friends and rent the complete manor house some time soon. Magnificent.
We were due to walk the Camino Lebaniego but COVID-19 meant this was not possible. As an alternative, at the last minute, we booked an apartment at Olmares so that we could still walk in the Picos. I'm so glad that we did! We had a wonderful relaxing stay in this fabulous part of Spain. Our apartment was exactly as described on the website, the bed was comfortable, the kitchen well equipped and plenty of hot water for the shower. We had everything we needed and there was always someone on hand if we had questions or needed help. You need a car to visit here as this really is away from it all... but it's quiet and peaceful with stunning views. If you love nature you'll love this! p.s. we were also shown all the COVID-19 precautions when we arrived and felt totally at ease with their standards…
Wonderful stay in this unforgettable house. A great house for a family reunion. Amazing location with stunning views. Loved the tranquility of the area.A very memorable stay. Hope to return at some point in the future. Jaime couldn't be more helpful too.
we stayed in the large old house at Olmares (La Casona) with our extended family to celebrate a 70th birthday. the old house is incredibly beautiful with amazing old furniture and ancient staircases, a courtyard with a traditional hay store woven out of hazel and fantastic views everywhere up the valley. We went on excellent walks (lots of guides to walks in the house although Spanish maps are dreadful) and found the most beautiful wildflower meadows. There were lovely, happy cows with furry ears - all with their calves and lovely cowbells. There is a stunning garden where you can eat out, with fantastic flowers and the same view up the valley. There were 8 of us but the house could have taken many more. The oldies thought it was perfect - the youth thought some of the kitchen equiment could have been a bit more up to date (for the oldies it just made us recollect our youth).…
