Sleep in an exquisitely preserved, centuries-old nobles’ home gazing out across Santillana’s cobbled main plaza. The 28 rooms are comfy, stylish and well equipped, yet full of historical character, and there are oodles of tucked-away lounges to get lost in, complemented by an elegant walled garden where you can breakfast in summer.
Santillana has a second, slightly cheaper parador, of recent construction but in traditional style, just off the same plaza.
