About Us
Read MoreLa Casona de los Güelitos is much more than an inn: it is a house with a soul that has stood since 1609. Carefully restored with respect for its history, it began its life as a rural inn in 2004, and has since kept the same warm spirit with which it welcomes every guest.
Within its stone walls and carefully preserved historic details, we have created a place designed to slow time down. A peaceful retreat to rest, breathe, and reconnect with what truly matters.
We are located just 2 kilometers from the centre of Santillana del Mar and very close to the Altamira Caves, in an environment that invites calm and unhurried enjoyment of the beauty of Cantabria.
We welcome each guest as if they were coming home: with warmth, attention to detail, and the hope that their stay becomes one of those memories they will always want to return to.
