Parador de Santillana Gil Blas

The recent past of this 17th/18th Century ancestral mansion is closely linked to the arts and literature. The main door leads to bright, welcoming common rooms with wooden floors and ornamental, traditional-style furniture and décor. The air-conditioned hotel offers 28 rooms in total and offers a lobby with 24-hour reception, a hotel safe, currency exchange facility and lift access. A café, bar, restaurant, TV room and Internet access all feature. Room and laundry services are also offered. Parking facilities are available to guests arriving by car.

Rooms come with large windows and balconies overlooking the garden, creating an idyllic rural setting. An en suite bathroom, hairdryer, direct dial telephone, satellite/cable TV, Internet access, minibar and a double bed come as standard. The rooms also offer individually adjustable air conditioning, central heating and a safe deposit box.

The dining room has a nice beamed ceiling and soft painted walls with large windows on one of its sides. Traditional lamps hang from the ceiling and traditional furniture completes its decoration. In the restaurant highland and Liebana stews are served as well as grilled baby beef sirloin and the typical dessert "quesada pasiega" (cheese pastry).

The town is quite small and has only 3 streets, with the hotel located in the centre on the main square. There is restricted access for cars in the town, but this should not be a problem for guests as parking is available at the hotel (subject to reservation).
