Casa Cristobal, Cantabria and Asturias
Santibañez (Cabezón de la Sal) | Ref: SAN1 | Bedrooms: 6 | Sleeps: 11Perfect accomodation for large families or groups of friends
If you fancy a holiday in Green Spain with your family or friends, in a rural setting within easy reach of all amenities, then Casa Cristobal offers the perfect base from where to explore this lush, mountainous region, famous for its beaches, caves, gastronomy and unique natural attractions.
With six bedrooms, two bathrooms, a generous playroom with table tennis and darts, and a wonderful garden with mountain views, neither you nor the youngsters should surely miss anything during your stay. The living room is bright, open and airy thanks to the large south-facing windows, the open-plan kitchen is well equipped with dishwasher and ample cupboard space, and most of the bedrooms have a TV. Wifi in the whole house and satellite channels in the living room are just extra bonuses.
A blend of wood and brightly coloured walls, rustic-style decór and a cosy fireplace contribute to create an agreeable ambience where you can relax after a busy day sightseeing, shopping or just taking in the beauty of the surroundings.
The market-town of Cabezón de la Sal is only two kilometres away, the motorway just beyond that, and the seaside towns of Comillas and San Vicente de la Barquera are also only a short drive away, so there are plenty of options to choose from when it comes to holiday activities. Whether you prefer the beach or the mountains, the quiet tranquillity of the villages or the lively pace of the city, it surely won’t be far away. River swimming is another activity to enjoy along the Saja river, with a perfect spot just a short walk away. And with a couple of good restaurants, also within walking distance, you can always end the day with some great food and a glass of wine.
From a small south-facing terrace, the main door opens into an open plan living area with a well equipped kitchen to the left, a bathroom and two bedrooms at the far end, and a staircase leading to both the first floor and the basement to the right.
Upstairs, a hall leads to four spacious bedrooms of which two have sloped ceilings and the other two share a lovely balcony. A bathroom is also located on this floor. Lovely views from all rooms.
The basement is divided into a multipurpose room with table tennis, darts and dining equipment, and a garage that allows for storing bicycles, surf boards or other bulky items that you might want to bring over, as Cantabria has a lot to offer for outdoor recreation.
A fully enclosed garden surrounds the property on two sides, with barbecue, pergola, garden furniture and a huge palm tree. Lots of parking options around the house.
NB. Pets are allowed

Church in Santibañez
Santibañez (Cabezón de la Sal)
The rural village of Santibañez is set in a quiet location with amazing views. Nearby you will find many tracks to explore the surrounding area, a great spot for river swimming and a couple of good restaurants.
The coast is only twenty minutes, so this is a good location for those wishing to combine beach days with rural living; it is also well located for exploring Cantabria to the East and West, and for driving up in to the Picos de Europa.
The Cabuérniga Valley heading inland from the village, is dotted with delightful stone-built villages and has a suprising variety of restaurants. Ruente has four alone, and further into the valley we recommend La Central in Barcenillas where they specialise in wood-oven roasts, Casa Lucas in Correpoco or El Puente in the pretty village of Carmona.
Up in the hills nearby, the tiny village of Bustablado (population approximately 60 people) lays on a wonderful fiesta in August, when a delicious chickpea stew is handed out to all comers - take your plates!
Cabezón de la Sal is the nearest town for shopping and all amenities. It holds a farmers' market every Saturday in the morning until lunchtime.
On the second Sunday of August, Cabezón de la Sal hosts the Día de Cantabria - the biggest local festival, with a display of local music, dancing and costumes as well as a parade and a large market throughout the day. It is an excellent way to experience Cantabrian culture.
