Semi-detached house with private garden and spectacular views over bay and beaches

Super!

We really enjoyed our stay at this property. Beautiful views from the terrace, comfortable bedrooms and pleasant walks with our dog. San Vicente was wonderful and our teenage son enjoyed surfing at the nearby beaches. Host was communicative and responsive when we had a couple of questions on arrival. Car is essential to go down to the restaurants near the harbour, because it's up a bit of a hill to get back up to the house.

The views are breathtaking-better than the pictures.You are at the top of the town so we drove down the hill and parked in the large car park there and then walked.The most beautiful town and very helpful hosts.

Very nice location with great view + close to the beach and mountains. We teally enjoyed staing there. The house was also great.

We spent 5 wonderful days here. We used the house as a base to explore the nearby towns and surfing beaches. Our favorite town and beach of the whole region was San Vicente itself. In San Vicente there are breathtaking views at every turn. The local beach is spectacular and has great surfing and a good selection of surf shops providing board rentals. And Oyambre beach is also just 10 minutes drive along a coastal road with spectacular views. We found the restaurants in the town to be great - and very reasonably priced. The house itself is perfect. It is exactly as pictured except that the views are even more stunning in person. There are 180 degree views over the surfing beach, the harbor, the town and the mountains. The view is so spectacular it seems unreal. It was wonderful to sit on the terrace with a coffee in the morning or a glass of wine in the evening and take in the view. Encarna and her husband were wonderful hosts - very warm and welcoming and very responsive to texts etc. All in all a fantastic stay! I would definitely come back.

All guests were blown away by the views, very pleased with the quality and cleanliness of the house, and commented on how comfortable the beds and pillows are. Encara is a lovely host, very communicative, and helpful with local information. San Vicente de la Barquera is an ideal base to take trips to Oyambre beach, Comillas, Potes, Llanes, etc. We were 100% pleased with our choice to stay at Encara's property.

We had wonderful holidays at Encarna’s house. The 180-degree view over the town, sea and mountains was fabulous. We were welcomed by Dora and her husband who are extremely nice people. We can only recommend that property. The only negative point is that the bedding is not very comfortable for “sensitive” backs.

Good communication from the owner and very helpful local welcome from Marta. House is very nice, clean and well appointed. Lovely view and well located although the walk up the hill from town in not for the unfit - car is a must. San Vicente is a lovely town with fantastic restaurants and good beaches locally. Only issue with the house is that the walls are thin and if you have noisy guests next door you will hear everything.

The apartment was very clean and cosy. The view was magnificent and we spent a lot of time sitting and looking out over the balcony. There can't be many places with a view of a castle, church, river estuary and the Picos!! The pool was very clean and the children used it lots. Everyone in the complex was very friendly, both residents and other holiday makers which made us feel very comfortable, particularly being the only English family there. The flat is very convenient for the town and only a few minutes ddrive to the beach. We had a surprise that there was no oven, although quickly got around this and I made a microwave birthday cake for my daughter. The road in front was quite noisy but this didn't bother us. Only other criticism could be the beds were quite hard and the walls quite thin, however again we quickly got used to this. We would definitely go back here!
