Description: Palacio de Trasvilla

Enjoying a delightful location in the heart of the Cantabrian region of Pasiega, Palacio de Trasvilla is set in a painstakingly restored 16th century mansion, just outside the hamlet of Escobedo. This charming small hotel is furnished and decorated with magnificent antiques, some of which are as old as the 12th century, and offers comfortable accommodation in a secluded rural setting.

Palacio de Trasvilla is the perfect starting point for exploring this unspoilt corner of Cantabria. Nearby landmarks and attractions include the village of Puente Viesgo and the caves of El Castillo, and the Via Verde del Pas greenway, which follows the course of the river Pas on its way through magnificent landscapes, and beside historic villages and ancient chapels and hermitages. Slightly further afield, the splendid city of Santander is just over half an hour's drive away, as are Santillana del Mar and the caves of Altamira.

Within the hotel's grounds, guests can simply relax in the magnificent garden, swim in the large pool or enjoy the outdoor Jacuzzi. The hotel also has a cosy lounge bar with a majestic fireplace for those cold winter evenings, and evening meals can be arranged on request.
