LA CASONA Encanto Rural - ApartaHotel SPA Llanes

The two of us spent the final two nights of our trip here after walking the Camino from Santander over the previous five days. It was perfect for us: spotlessly clean, peaceful and comfortable, with excellent mattresses in both bedrooms. Sara was absolutely lovely and extremely helpful, and the generous breakfast basket she provided each day was much appreciated. She even arranged a taxi for us and, on one occasion, kindly gave us a lift into Llanes herself. Such thoughtful hospitality made our stay all the more special. The small spa — an indoor pool, hot tub, cold plunge and sauna — was a wonderful treat for tired legs. Everything was immaculate, and booking a private session seemed perfectly reasonable for a small rural property. We spent a blissful hour there after our final day’s walking. The kitchen had everything we needed for holiday catering. Anyone expecting a cordon bleu dinner after a day on the Camino would have received a Paddington Bear stare and directions to the excellent little sidrería less than two minutes away! There’s also plenty of choice in nearby Llanes. We had lunch on our final day at El Bálamu: probably the best fish we’ve ever had, and highly recommended. PS Having read the two-star review from 2014, we briefly wondered whether we’d booked the same place. Twelve years is, of course, plenty of time for mattresses, Wi-Fi and even kitchen knives to turn their lives around. We can’t speak for that earlier experience, but we heard no traffic inside the apartment, the Wi-Fi worked perfectly, and the positive Spanish reviews — easily translated with a tap — reflected our stay very well. We’re very glad we came.

Me encantó un verdadero descubrimiento. Limpio, cómodo, cerca de la playa, con todo lo necesario y Sara la encargada un encanto atenta y muy amable Sin duda volveré Lo recomiendo 100%

La Casona Encanto Rural is a wonderful place! The appartment is very comfortable, we stayed in one on the upper floor. The high ceiling gave the house a very spacious feel. The beds are very comfortable and the lay out is very pleasant. The location is perfect for visiting Llanes and the nearby beaches. There is a beautiful one at 12 minute walking distance (Play Antilles). Parking space is available next to the house. You get an hour use of the private spa for free, which is a real treat. The garden has some chairs, tables and room to play. As many others have commented, Sara is the real secret of La Casona. She is the sweetest, most welcoming host you can imagine. Available at all hours, with the best tips for beaches, restaurants and day trips. Every suggestion she gave us was perfect. And just such a wonderful human being! Gracias por todo, Sara! A ver si nos vemos en Holanda algún día y te enseño los tulipanes!

Sara es una anfitriona excepcional. El apartamento cuenta con todo lo necesario, está limpio y bien ubicado. El SPA da un plus al alojamiento.
