About this property

Historic manor estate near Comillas, minutes to beaches

The Palacio de Hualle is a 17th Century manor house and estate, near Comillas and the green northern coast of Cantabria.

The beautiful, large 17thC "Palacio" or villa-manor house is very elegant, and has been fully renovated to provide an unforgettable summer holiday rental. The estate includes a vast park and gardens and a lovely little chapel. The big, beautifully decorated living room with fireplace and the dining room for twelve will provide the perfect setting for a gathering of family or friends. There are six or seven bedrooms. That is: five spacious double bedrooms, plus a tower room-bedroom and an open studio- bedroom.

The spacious, light filled kitchen has just been renovated. Adjacent to the kitchen, there is a smaller dining room with a chimney. There are several terraces, balconies and patios to enjoy the lovely views of green hills and fields with horses grazing nearby. A stream flows at the edge of the property where locals sometimes fish trout.

Shops and restaurants with excellent seafood, local vegetables, meats are within walking distance from our village. Beautiful beaches are a 15 minute drive away as are the picturesque villages of Comillas, Cabezón de la Sal, San Vicente and Santillana del Mar. One can hike on an ancient Roman Road in nearby hills, climb in Picos mountains, canoe in Sella River.

The Palacio de Hualle has been featured in various country house and decorator magazines.

Located in the tiny village of Hualle, a hamlet of about 25 traditional village houses. It is extremely peaceful. Nonetheless, well stocked shops are within walking distance and big supermarkets are a three minute drive away.

Amazing property and location

Our family had a wonderful experience in this historic Spanish home. Accommodations were very comfortable with excellent kitchen and bath facilities. The location can’t be beat - close to beaches, national parks and culture. Highly recommended!

A treasure!

This is truly a palacio of palacios. From the original wood/staircases, beautiful furniture and artwork, the lush green grass and flowers, it was amazing. It had everything we needed and more. We can’t wait to return and thank you for this unique and amazing opportunity.

Estancia inolvidable

Hemos estado unos días en familia en Semana Santa y la estancia ha sido inmejorable. La casa está decorada con mucho gusto y es muy acogedora, una casa para estar y disfrutar con amplias estancias y cocina muy bien equipada. El entorno es muy bonito, planes de mar y montaña cerca. Te despiertas viendo verde, montaña, y a los burritos al otro lado de la valla. Mari, la ama de llaves, siempre pendiente de nosotros y de lo que pudiéramos necesitar. Sin duda, si podemos repetiremos. Gracias Margaret.

Wonderful restored Palacio in Treceño set in beautiful countryside

We had a wonderful stay in Cantabria at Palacio Hualle. We enjoyed the Palacio very much with its quirky layout and enjoyed reading the book about the architect Henri Jova who restored it. Mari, the housekeeper is the true star of the show making us a delicious traditional Spanish paella which was superb! Also this was for 12 people! (La paella estaba deliciosa!) Treceño is a lovely peaceful area and the Palacio has spacious grounds with a little chapel in the grounds and donkeys in the ajacent field. The Palacio is very traditional and mixed the old with the modern well with antique furniture and with a modern well equipped kitchen with range cooker and an American style fridge/freezer. There is a small town centre in Treceño where you can get reasonably priced food, coffee and beers/wines etc. The Mercadona supermarket is a couple of kilometers away and only a few minutes drive (given the area, a car is probably a necessity for most people unless doing the trip as part of a cycling holiday) We would definately stay again!

Long weekend

Beautiful house and surroundings. Very clean and comfortable. We really felt at home in this house. It had everything we needed and great space for a big family. Even thought it rained we still were able to do the bbq in the very large terrace. The house was lovely and warm with a fantastic big open fire. Really perfect.

Fin de semana de 10!

Hemos estado una familia pasando el fin de semana juntos y ha sido espectacular. El palacio está precioso y es súper amplio. Al ser Octubre ha hecho frío por las noches pero la calefacción se enciende varias veces al día y se queda una temperatura perfecta. El pueblo es pequeño, súper acogedor y tiene caminos por el monte para pasear. En definitiva, súper recomendable si estas buscando un sitio original y tranquilo para descansar! Además Mari (ama de llaves) está disponible siempre que lo necesites! Un gusto!

Fin de semana en familia y con amigos en un palacio.

Ha sido un placer poder disfrutar de un palacio con la familia y los amigos. Tanto los jardines como la casa y la decoración son perfectos. Las estancias comunes son muy amplias pero lo mejor es la “portalada” donde hemos podido comer, cenar y pasar mucho tiempo. La decoración de la casa merece un 10. Pasas unos días rodeado de antigüedades. En resumen, ha sido una experiencia única en un verdadero palacio lleno de historia.

Beautiful location and house

We loved staying in the Gatehouse. It is beautiful with a very pretty outside sitting area. Beds were comfortable, lovely bedding, lots of towels. Mari lives across the road and was extremely helpful. We have two children who loved the little play park in the village and feeding the odd carrot or apple to the horse and donkey. They also had fun playing with other children in the village who were extremely welcoming and friendly. It was only 15mins to the beach and there were lots of interesting caves and villages to visit. The gatehouse is attached to the main larger house but has a separate seating area so feels very private. The big garden area is round by the bigger house but there is plenty of space outside the gatehouse. The house had a lovely relaxing feel. A special place to visit.

amazing experience

The place is absolutely great and we have spent 2 nice weeks there: - very spacious inside - you might even be lost here :) Authentic, but comfortable to live; - big garden and cute horses coming for carrots and grass; - lovely terraces; - Mari, who comes to tidy the palace 5 days per week, is very nice and kind person (she speaks only Spanish, but despite the fact that we speak no Spanish at all, we managed to agree on everything). Mari cooks delicious food!; - communication with the owner is prompt and clear. She also took care about everything we needed for our small daughter (2 years old). The village itself is very small, but there are lots of nice villages around to spent your days. Big supermarket is 5 minutes drive. Smaller one is just 5 minutes walking distance. Ocean (with absolutely amazing beaches) is 15 minutes drive. All in all, our family recommends this place to stay. One more thank you to Mari and Margaret for a very good experience!

Ni es lo que parece ni vale lo que cuesta. (Neither is what it seems nor worth the price)

En el anuncio, se muestran unas fotos que corresponden a varias propiedades y después de pagar cuando te informan de donde te meten. Los precios son también modificados por propiedad y por semana, estás indefenso. Verificar antes de pagar. Impresión general: Viejo y sucio. Hay un fuerte olor a humedad (cuando te reciben todas las puertas y ventanas están abiertas). El techo de la cocina está mal mantenido y suelta polvo y trozos sobre muebles y encimeras. Da asco cocinar. El mobiliario en general es viejo y mal conservado que hace la estancia incómoda. La instalación eléctrica deficiente, enchufes que no funcionan, zonas de oscuridad (salón, cocina), faltan bombillas en las mesillas, no hay escobillas en los baños. Descanso: Las camas muy incómodas de baja calidad. Es difícil descansar con los ladridos de los perros. Hay un centro canino cercano. El equipamiento no es el descrito: No hay internet (Una faena para unas vacaciones con adolescentes), no hay secador, no hay vitrocerámica. No deberían incluirlos. El servicio: Entran en la casa sin avisar y con los niños dentro. No solucionan los problemas. El espacio tiene potencial la propiedad es amplia y bien ubicada. Necesita urgente inversión. Actualmente no está en buenas condiciones para alquilar. No queríamos perder tiempo ni dinero en discutir. Conseguimos pasar unas buenas vacaciones a pesar de la casa. Actualmente nos estamos informando sobre nuestros derechos. Es nuestra primera mala experiencia. In the ad, some photos are shown that correspond to several properties and after paying when they tell you where they put you. Verify before paying. Overall impression: Old and dirty. There is a strong musty smell. The kitchen ceiling is poorly maintained and loose dust and pieces on furniture and countertops. It's disgusting to cook. The furniture in general is old and poorly maintained which makes the stay uncomfortable. Rest: Very uncomfortable beds of low quality. It is difficult to rest with the barking of dogs. There is a nearby canine center. The equipment is not as described: There is no internet no hairdryer, no glass ceramic. They should not include them. The service: They enter the house without warning and with the children inside.They do not solve the problems. The space has potential, the property is wide and well located. Needs urgent investment. No suitable to rent yet.

Stunning historic house in a lovely location

We needed a house for 10 with space for everyone to do their own thing and get together for meals or drinks or games... In a beautiful tranquil location... the Palacio fitted the bill perfectly. We liked the fact that the house is somewhat quirky, and not overly modernised. It has lots of character. However with so many stairs and slightly sloping floors it would not suit a disabled person or someone with restricted mobility. Kitchen - very well equipped with huge American style fridge & freezer. Bedrooms all a reasonable size, even the one in the tower. Only slight drawback - beds or rather mattresses need updating. The attic is fine too for a single person or two friends (sofa beds only!) The patio is lovely, great to be able eat outside together and admire the view (and watch the bats flitting to and fro in the evening). Mari, our housekeeper was wonderful, kept the place clean and tidy, and cooked a delicious meal for 10 on one evening, creating both a great meat-based dish and a veggie alternative too. All for an incredibly reasonable price. We should have booked her for two nights! The area is lush, green, and beautiful. Lots of interesting places to explore. Recommend Comilllas, El Castillo caves and Altamira caves. Would definitely recommend this house and this area for a big group.

You will never duplicate this experience.

In Spain a "palace" has to have a tower and this does, as well as 7 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms, a nice kitchen, a huge dining room, breakfast nook and living area. If you have a need for a wedding, reunion or just a lot of friends this is the place. Near beaches and the town of San Vicente de la Banquera. Marie, does a really nice job making you feel at home. Any issues that might arise, (remember the place is a stone palace dating back hundreds of years) are taken in stride and fixed by the owner. The area of Cantabria is beautiful with terrific food almost everywhere. Both Santander and Bilbao are close enough with a car. Picos de Europa are within a hour's drive and the towns of Comillas and Santillana de Mar are within 30 minutes including the caves of Altamira. A posada serving exotic wild mushrooms and two places seving excellent coffee are within 5 minutes walk. We are grateful we had the experience of being a guest here. Not to be missed.

Delightful old house

This delightful old house was beautiful inside and outside, very spacious and perfect for two families to spend some time together. The authentic interior gave you the feeling to be hundreds of years back. It was still convenient with several baths and a well equipped , large kitchen. Our youngsters very much liked the donkey, the dog and the cat. There were many activities possible quite nearby, surfing and hiking was very good, we much enjoyed the "ruta del cares". But the house was quite the highlight of our holidays!

Fantstic Palacio de Hualle

An absolutely fantastic place! A real treasure--charming in every way. We loved it and wished we cold have stayed longer. Little walks in the village; horses and donkey waiting to greet us at the fence, interesting object's d'art throughout; great place to make day trips from; close to stores (loved the Sat. market in nearby town), friendly neighbors -- just great in every way.

Fantastic

My husband and my two children (ages 5 and 8) had an amazing albeit short stay of four days. It was a lot of house for 4 people! One quickly feels at home here-I have decided it's part of the magic. We found the house very comfortable and slept wonderfully. I would recommend earplugs as there were occasions when the neighborhood dogs went bonkers barking through the night. They are hounds and they bayed at some foxes rather incessantly (this was Mari's theory when we shared our story the following morning). We enjoyed the large yard and visiting with the 2 mother and daughter horses and donkey Enriqueta in the pasture next to the house. As an equestrienne, I would have loved to have horse riding included in the program but alas, it is not. The location, although ideal for us, may be a bit quiet for those desiring to see the "sights". We had been in Asturias/Cantabria for the previous 2 weeks so we looked forward to a relatively low key stay in Huelle. That said, the beaches and towns ( San Vicente, Comillas, etc) are nearby. The house is well appointed and we were particularly excited to have a "real" dryer. Parents of young children will understand. In order to make the most of that big field with children, I would recommend bringing a soccer ball, paddle ball set, etc as no such items are available at the house. Watch how you kick that ball as the river runs right at the edge of the property. It would have been nice to have a little path cut down so that we could explore the water. Speaking of exercise, my husband and I are runners and we ran the nearby trail into the woods, the roman trail. It is pretty but it is short (1 mile?). I tried most of the off shoots but it did not seem you could go that far. We compensated by doubling back and running on the road where there is a short path). Maybe we have to check it out again when we come back... As mentioned in previous reviews, the housekeeper Mari is a delightful person. Her stories are very funny in Spanish and still funny if you don't speak Spanish (according to my non Spanish speaking husband). Mari comes to clean the house around noon everyday for a couple hours (even if you are very neat). She really makes the place special. The owner Margaret was very responsive. I am a cook and I found the kitchen well enough supplied. We enjoyed our meals outside. Cantabria is a dream for a foodie. We hope to come back one day. It is a magical place.

The house is magnificent, the owner gracious, and Mari the caretaker truly lovely and helpful. The area is quiet and beautiful, all of the owner's suggestions about what and where to go were spot on. If I could I would return every year with family and friends and stay for a month.
