Beautiful house with garden and private pool in Cantabria

The house and kitchen are very well equipped and fulfilled our needs. The bed was comfortable, the terrace and patio areas are very pretty and relaxing after travelling around Cantabria. The pool is smallish, but only an issue if you want to swim laps! Overall, a very enjoyable stay.

We had a terrific week in Gonzalo & Ana's villa. It had everything we needed, plus a excellent pool in the garden. Gonzalo & Ana were very welcoming when they met us and the property was very clean and well equipped. It's a great base for exploring the Northern coast of Spain. We went to Bilbao, Burgos and Haro during our visit, each providing a different experience of Northern Spain and its culture. Thank you so much Gonzalo & Ana.

Comfortable house, warm welcome and very helpfull hosts. We had a graet time. Beautifull area.

Beautiful house in quiet neighbourhood, with easy access to Santander, lots of amazing beaches etc and only an hour to Bilbao. We enjoyed the Hunters Tavern in eating dinner at Entrambasaguas (they were very accomodating with our poor Spanish) & having coffee on the terrace in the many nearby cafes. The kids enjoyed the basketball court just a few minutes away. House is very comfortable, well equipped and is tastefully decorated. We particularly enjoyed the courgettes in the veg patch and the peach tree, the fresh baguettes delivered each day and the neighbours eggs & potatoes - all making for a great holiday. Pool is well maintained and we enjoyed 3 relaxing days in the sun at the pool. The rest of the time we visited the lovely town of Santilla del Mar, spent time in Santander, Bilbao and went to local beaches to swim, surf etc. Our favourite beach was Playa de Neja a short drive away. A very pleasant holiday...thanks you Gonzalo.

Very quiet location and every thing in the house you would need and more Lovely hosts so welcoming and informative.

We had such a great holiday here and were sad to leave. We booked 18 months ago and eagerly counted them down and the house didn't disappoint in the slightest. The communication with the hosts was excellent (thanks for accommodating our lack of Spanish!) and the house had everything we could imagine to make it a home away from home, with all the utensils and equipment we needed to cater for a week-long family holiday. The region is beautiful and perfectly set between mountains and beaches, with loads to see and do for all ages. It's the only rental accommodation we've been to that we can genuinely say we'd come back to (I just wish it could be with a cheque book!). Thank you all so much for your hospitality and memories of your lovely house and holiday!

A little gem in a very quiet, rural village. Unique and quirky. The pool was a haven as this area was suffering from a heatwave. Maybe we could have benefitted from AC at this time! Baker delivered bread every day (large baguette style) but you must remember to put the money in the postbox along with the number you want hanging from a nail. Supermarket only 6 minute drive on the main road, but a smaller one in Entrambasaguas and a lovely restaurant called Hunters. A couple of bars in Navajeda itself. Beaches a 20 minute drive away. Somo Beach was lovely. Surrounded by mountains in the distance it is an area of Spain I'd never have imagined. Very green and verdant pastures. Visited by buzzards and kites on a regular basis. Highly recommend ALBIR.

We all enjoyed our stay, the owner was very helpful and went out of his way to find things out for us !

As a retired couple we so enjoyed the quiet peaceful area. Lovely walks right outside the gate as challenging as you choose. So great to not hear road noise except the the odd tractor passing

Great welcome from Gonzalo and Ana, everything was explained perfectly. There was only the two of us but the house can easily accommodate two families of 4, there is bags of room. Lots of little extras around the house that you normally expect, like access to Gonzalo's vegetable plot where we were free to pick our own lettuces etc. and; the huge cake as a welcome gift. The garden is lovely and really well kept, loads of games including lawn badminton. The pool was very welcome after long hot days exploring, a nice size and temperature. There is a load of information in the house to help you explore the surrounding area, in both English and Spanish.
