About this property

La Ardilla, Cottage In Rolling Hills, Close To The Atlantic Ocean

A delightful rustic cottage set in the foothills of the Ibio mountain range but only 20 minutes from the Atlantic beaches. Ideal for those who just want to escape to an idyllic location and relax or those who are looking for adventure.
Easy to access, parking on your doorstep, the use of a car is recommended. Surrounded by farmland, forests and with mountain views. Feel yourself surrounded by nature in this gorgeous landscape of green rolling hills. The property is completely private, set on its own very large plot of over 7 acres of land with a small stream and enjoys lovely views.
The owner lives on site and is always available for anything you might need, whilst at the same time respecting your complete privacy.
The property is located in quiet and natural surroundings.
The cottage is accessed independently and has it´s own private garden and terracy.
The nearby town of Cartes, at 4km, is worth visiting for its beautiful medieval ´Camino Real´ connecting it to the even so beautiful village of Riocorvo, proclaimed ´most beautiful village of Cantabria in 2022´

Very quiet and comfortable. Great value too.
We had very nice and accomodating owners who were living in the same building and always available to help. The property is located in a very beutiful valey away from it all so a car is escencial. A lot of oportunities for things to do easily reachable by car. A lot of shoping in a short driving distance too. Very convenient bakery/cafe near buy (5 minutes drive, loved it). Unfortunately the weather was not perfect during our stay but it was merely the ownly downside I could think off. Would be happy to stay there again in the future.

Brilliant accommodation and hospitality.....highly recommended!
We had the privilege to spend a most amazing 16 days in this wonderful location. Despite variable weather from heavy rain and thunderstorms to hot sunny days if we were not in the delightful garden, we could be found sitting on the balcony enjoying the silence of the countryside which was only broken by bird song and the gentle sound of the bells on cows and sheep in fields nearby. Taking meals at our delightful garden table added to the overall experience of a relaxing holiday. We can highly recommend this unique spot which despite it's apparent isolation is ideally situated for trips to the many and varied beaches along the stunning coastline of Northern Spain. Alternatively, there is an assortment of traditional Spanish towns and villages to visit and,of course, the breath taking Picos mountains and unspoiled Valle de Carriega and Miera. Judith, our host, was very charming and helpful....and our daily visit from her Whippet, Piglet was a delight for us all especially our dog, Harvey a Tibetan Terrier! All in all a very comfortable and dog friendly location for "a get away from it all" holiday. Thank you Judith for your ability to always be on hand but never intrusive! We shall return!

A beautiful place with nice hosts
We enjoyed staying in the cottage. It is a very pretty cottage in a beautiful part of Spain. It's very green and less expensive. The owners were very sensible and kind too. We cooked every evening. Perhaps we should have brought aprons and a peeler and grater. There are a lot of nice places and a few good supermarkets one can visit easily by car.

An appartment, which is part of the owners' home. Rustic and comfortable.
A lovely holiday home with an owner that was friendly and helpful. Judith went out of her way to make our stay as pleasant as possible. The property was clean and comfortable with the antique furniture giving it a rural farmhouse feel. We loved sitting on the balcony watching the sun rise over the mountains or having a leisurely lunch in the garden under the shade of the The kitchen was limited to a gas hob and microwave ( so no oven) but this did not really make any difference to us. Our only disappointment was the hard beds. We enjoyed going into Cartes to the bank, baker or for coffee (although no longer any food store there unfortunately) and this was approximately 20minutes down a winding road.

Originally we are from the Netherlands. My husband and I fell in love with this beautifull region of northern Spain and decided to live there permantly. We purchased the property in 2001 and we are very hapy here with our 2 children who had 1 and 3 years of age when we went to Spain.
We live within the property, at the other side of the house. We´re always happy to offer help and advice during your stay, whilst at the same time, respecting your privacy. We hope you will enjoy Cantabria just as much as we do.
