HTON1, Toñanes, North Spain
This handsome Cantabrian mansion, dating back to 1703, was converted into a small hotel just over twenty years ago. Sitting in a beautifully kept garden of 12,000 m2, on the edge of the coastal farming village of Tonanes, it has a good open air swimming pool and its own restaurant and bar.
With 18 traditionally furnished, comfortable bedrooms, some in the main house and some in the two annexes, it has a pleasant and welcoming family feel to it and is a great place to relax after a busy day of sightseeing.
Between the medieval town of Santillana del Mar and the quirky resort of Comillas with its Gaudi Caprice, the lovely rural beach of Cobreces is under two kilometres away and the stunning clifftops with a ruined mill at Bolao much nearer.
The hotel has 18 double / twin bedrooms with ensuite bathrooms. Ten rooms are in the main house where two large rooms have balconies (these can be configured as triple rooms). The remaining eight rooms are in the annexes and have private terraces (some can be configured as triple / connecting rooms). All rooms have a T.V. and a hairdryer.
There is also a separate cottage which sleeps six, with two bedrooms, a living room, two bathrooms and a terrace.

A continental breakfast is served from 8.00 – 10.15 am.
This includes freshly squeezed orange juice and homemade cakes and pastries.
Dinner is served from 8.00 pm onwards. There is an a la carte menu with a good choice of dishes or a set menu can be arranged (25 euros a head approximately, drinks excluded).
These meals are served in the covered porch at the front of the house or indoors in cooler weather. The restaurant is for guests only.
For other dining options, the village of Novales at 1.5 kms has three restaurants and the beach at Cobreces, at 2 kms, has two.
Tonanes is a traditional, small farming village on the spectacular, gently rolling coastline of Western Cantabria. A lovely walk from there through fields and meadows with splendid views of the Picos de Europa on a clear day, will take you to the dramatic cliffs at El Bolao with two atmospheric abandoned flour mills and a waterfall.
The beautiful, rural, cliff backed beach at Cobreces with two restaurants is under two kilometres away and the pretty village of Novales, famous for its lemons and with more eateries, a little nearer. Medieval Santillana del Mar and the quirky resort of Comillas with its modernist architecture are both an easy drive.
