The Parador de Limpias is in a lovely old building with modern ‘wings’ added - we were not too sure if the modern architecture matched the historic original architecture - however, everyone has their own taste in architecture. The Parador is ideally located for the short drive back to the Santander Ferry Terminal. Our room was lovely (but no tea/coffee making equipment) and the staff were charming. There are two choices for parking - free parking in the hotel grounds a few minutes walk from the building, or right next to the hotel for a few euros a day. Do not be misled by out of date reviews on other websites - the hotel indoor pool closed three years ago! The outdoor pool looked delightful but…. it was closed, as Parador swimming pools only open on 1 June. The town is only a five minute walk away - but not much to see. We were surprised to hear very loud engine revving on the Saturday evening - we wandered into town to find that it was the prelude to the annual Limpias Road Rally - tannoys were announcing the cars and their drivers who were preparing for the next day’s rally. I had forgotten how loud rally car engines are! We made a swift retreat back to the relative tranquillity of the Parador and were then serenaded all day, next day, with the sound of cars racing around the local roads. If you like road rallies, then it will be worth visiting next year. If you like peace and tranquility then I would recommend checking the websites to definitely avoid those dates!!

Very nice parador.

Hotel di classe nel Verde

Wonderful property, pretty location with large well appointed rooms with plenty of storage and lovely garden views. Very helpful and pleasant staff. Excellent breakfast.

Très vielle institution dans un cadre calme et agréable. Hôtel très cossu avec des épaisseurs de moquettes impressionates. Nous ne sommes restés qu'une nuit en demi-pension. Très bon restaurant, cadre verdoyant au petit déjeuner au top. Chambre spacieuse et lumineuse.

Personal, el sitio en si

El entorno y las terrazas exteriores son magnificos

No tomé desayuno. Impresionante paisaje de otoño.

Hotel with a lot of history and character. Nice large rooms, beautiful grounds and common spaces. Hiking trails right outside the door, a short walk to the village. We would stay here again

De kamer was prima. Het buitengedeelte was onverzorgd. Het zwembad lag er haveloos bij en was onbruikbaar. De medewerker bij de receptie was ongeïnteresseerd.

Had a nice two night stay, everything went well, staff good, especially the very helpful lady on reception. The area is a bit of a quiet gem, with loads of quiet roads to explore and a quaint village in walking distance. The nearby Laredo was good too, and just a short drive. Highly recommended.

Lovely hotel in a beautiful location. Room was more like a suite! We stayed half board which we would recommend as there are not many other places to eat in the area. The food was delicious so glad we booked half board. We visited Santoña (anchovy capital of the world ) and Laredo, both close by, which were well worth the visit. Lovely, unspoilt area of northern Spain.

Séjour de 2 nuits. Très bon restaurant. Accès très difficile, pour personne ayant quelques difficultés pour se déplacer, si on se gare sur le parking gratuit. Le garage sous l'hôtel avec ascenseur (15 € la nuit) est, dans ce cas là, conseillé.

Nice hotel with great rooms and facilities in a great town with lots of nature and history. Go for a walk along the river.

En dehors des villes , dans les bois, sur une colline…. Donc il faut monter

Best service and hospitality. Spacius room, large beds and clean. Highly recommended. Breakfast and dinner was superb.

Beautiful hotel stunning grounds and very nice rooms

Fint läge mkt bra mat och trevlig restaurang ! Bra incheckning sköna sängar

Reception staff very good. Bar lady lovely and very busy with other tasks. Waiting on and dining was poor. Wrong food, some not cooked (cold in the middle chicken) tasted ‘off’ 2 chaps waiting on didn’t appear to want to serve us. Nice young lady came along and agreed the chicken wasn’t cooked. We were asked about the food - I said awful Rooms very noisy and you could hear from other rooms

Great hotel in historical building and dominating location. Really nice reception staff and bar and restaurant staff were even better. As residents we were able to access some of the restricted spaces
