The Casas Team

We're a family business and have been organising self catering holidays in Northern Spain since 1985.

The team in our Cambridge office are ready to answer any queries and help you make a booking. At the Spanish end in Cantabria we search out and inspect our houses and help holidays to run smoothly.

Casas Cantabricas is a member of AITO, the Association of Independent Tour Operators. Established in 1976, the AITO symbol has become the hallmark of good holidays from specialist tour operators. All AITO companies are fully bonded and governed by AITO's independent dispute settlement service, which means you are in safe hands when you book with an AITO member.

Casas Cantabricas combines specialist knowledge of Green Spain with a caring personal service helping clients find the right holiday for them.

We've grown over the years and Spain continues to see many changes, but our ideal remains the same - to offer holidays in beautiful regions of Spain and Portugal, where life depends not on tourism, but on farming and fishing, where countryside traditions are alive and valued, where visitors will find much to see and do and where they will be genuinely welcome.

The holiday and accommodation were great - 2009
Just a quick note to say thanks for organising such a wonderful holiday for us--all the hotels were lovely and the settings for some of them were beautiful. The roads--especially in the Picos mountains were just perfect for our MGC--no traffic and lots of bends!! All the people we met were so friendly--even though they could not speak English my husbands Spanish lessons from nearly 50 years ago got us through with much hilarity! We also met various people who were also holidaying with you along the way --some we met up with twice at various hotels. I'm glad to say the 24 hour boat journey for my non sea faring husband was smooth both ways! It is a beautiful part of the country and we wouldn't hesitate to go again and would certainly recommend you to our friends.
