The bathroom has bath, pressure shower, heated towel rail and soft towels. The living area has a well equipped kitchen, a dining area and sitting room area with a polished chestnut floor giving a ‘home’ feeling. There is a comfortable sofa and armchair, coffee table, reading lamps, bookcase and TV with Sky News and Spanish channels. The entire front wall of the sitting room is of glass – windows and french doors leading onto the balcony. The very substantial wood balcony with garden furniture runs the full width of the apartment. It’s perfect for eating out, relaxing, bird-watching and enjoying the magnificent view. The entire apartment is centrally heated. The apartment is for 2 people – either friends or a couple but is not suitable for children. Comfort is the by-word – high quality twin beds, duvets, cotton sheets, soft towels with central heating throughout but cool in summer.

The coast with its white sandy beaches is only an hour away through the dramatic Hermida Gorge. Doing nothing is a definite option. We call it “Basieda Disease”. The Picos de Europa National Park extends over the provinces of Cantabria, Asturias and León. Olmares like the Fuente Dé cable car and the historic village of Potes is situated in Cantabria.

The view from the terrace is stunning so breakfast and dinner was extra special. There are lots of local walks with beautiful scenery. However, the best thing about Olmares is Eva the host, her warm welcome and helpful attitude was great and much appreciated. Thank you we hope to be back! ##### Kirsteen D.

The position in a Picos hamlet was spectacular, with truly wonderful views from our balcony. We were made very welcome by our hostess and given goodies for our first breakfast, including delicious bread, fruit and local eggs. Facilities were good and nothing was too much trouble for our hostess. We would thoroughly recommend Olmares, it is a very special place and we hope to return. ##### Michael C. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### alexandra 3 Sept 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication Ineffable views, supermodel apartment on top of the mountain. Surrounded by nature , quiescent garden and a courtyard. Eva is an angel: she met us with great hospitality , directed to the hiking trails and waited patiently when we were late . Fresh water, bread and eggs were heartwarming upon arrival. Unforgettable . Highly recommend! ##### alexandra Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lynn B. 18 Aug 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Amazing Olmares We were met by Eva on arrival who was very pleasant and most informative for our whole stay. Our balcony room was ready when we arrived with everything we needed. No oven but I probably wouldn’t have used it anyway. The views from the balcony were amazing. A very relaxing place to sit and watch the birds. A nice bar/restaurant at the bottom of the hill. We could have walked to it but not back …. Highly recommended ##### Lynn B.

The site has a lot to choose from and it made our decision on where to go very difficult. Olmares, up in the mountains, was our final decision and what a good one that turned out to be. Our hosts Richard and Suzanne were absolutely fabulous, such good hosts, always on hand but never in your face, and both a fountain of knowledge. The facilities were amazing, the standard of accommodation far exceeded our expectations. The directions to get there were spot on and the location was great. Sitting on the balcony all day just looking at the mountains around us was the perfect way to unwind. The walks around the area were great, although neither of us are great walkers, it was great fun to explore. The area is quite spectacular and the wild life exciting to watch. We would definately recommend the property to others. Thanks to everyone for helping to make our holiday the best we’ve ever had.

Stayed 5 nights in May 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Philip R. 23 Jun 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Lovely apartment This is a lovely place. Precioso. When you get back from a good walk, which you can start at the door and progress in several directions, there is a picturesque interior patio to greet you with calm and quiet, there is a fully equipped kitchen in the apartment to provide refreshments, and, above all, there is a view from the large and comfy balcony which is beautiful and changing. The silence wafts up from the valley with the cowbells and the hourly car. The property manager, Jaime, was diligent, friendly, warm and welcoming. He speaks excellent English and the owners did well to recruit him. Thoroughly recommended. And thank you. ##### Philip R. Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jeremy G. 23 Sept 2018 #### Beautiful location, perfect flat wonderful holiday. Flat is excellent with all the best facilities. Wonderful views from the balcony and located in an area of outstanding walking. ##### Jeremy G. Stayed 8 nights in Aug 2018 This review was submitted before 2018 and has not been verified. ### 8/10 Good #### Sean M. 19 Sept 2012 #### Rural Beauty I would recommend this place to people who would like to stay in a typically Spanish rural setting in the beautiful Picos de Europa mountains, with easy access to good walks,stunning scenery and not such a long drive to the beautiful sandy beaches. The property was extremely well maintained and very clean and tidy when we arrived upon which we were warmly greeted by Richard our host (even though we arrived quite late at night). A car is essential to make the most of the attractions in the area and be prepared to do a fair amount of driving however, the spectacular views are worth it! ##### Sean M.

Een auto is beslist noodzakelijk. Het appartement is compleet ingericht en comfortabel. Fijn is het dat er extra ruimtes zijn die je als huurder kunt gebruiken waaronder de binnenplaats waar schaduw en zon is. Het uitzicht vanaf het balkon is prachtig. We hebben er fijne dagen gehad. ##### NThf35AVJegUUhBZHRi6WxxD2bJb5csICb0rNOmSVJodbEsmhjqc1Pk8/kWnf1Fs N. ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Hogsveil Cottages - Harry Potter Themed](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Eureka-Springs-Hotels-Hogsveil-Cottages.h17048316.Hotel-Information) > > [AQI Pegasos Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Alanya-Hotels-Pegasos-Resort-All-Inclusive.h11541217.Hotel-Information) > > [The Pear Tree Inn](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Banbury-Hotels-The-Pear-Tree-Inn.h9107057.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Express Amsterdam - Sloterdijk Station by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Amsterdam-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-Amsterdam-Sloterdijk-Station.h4674833.Hotel-Information) > > [Panorama Plus](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Apokoronas-Hotels-Panorama-Plus.h34120337.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Thrapston](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Thrapston-Hotels.d602155.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [HiltonHotels Hotels in Genoa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Genoa-Hotels-Hilton-Hotels.0-0-d6055038--bHiltonHotels.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Spa Hotels in Blackpool](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Blackpool-Hotels-Spa-Hotels.0-0-d619-tSpaHotels.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hotels near Figueira da Foz Beach](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Figueira-Da-Foz-Beach-Hotels.0-l6116888-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Village Hotel Sentosa by Far East Hospitality](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Singapore-Hotels-Village-Hotel-Sentosa-By-Far-East-Hospitality.h31063523.Hotel-Information) > > [Beach Resorts & Hotels in Crete](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Destinations-In-Crete-Beach-Hotels.0-0-d180100-tBeachHotels.Hotel-Filter-Destinations) > > [Melia Hotels in Great Britain](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Great-Britain-Hotels-Melia.0-0-d553248623451644244--bMelia.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Caravan Parks Port Seton](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Port-Seton-Caravan-Parks.d3000010167-aaCaravanParks.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) > > [The Ivy Bush Royal Hotel By Compass Hospitality](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Carmarthen-Hotels-The-Ivy-Bush-Royal-Hotel-By-Compass-Hospitality.h11900800.Hotel-Information) > > [Imperial Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Great-Yarmouth-Hotels-Imperial-Hotel.h900776.Hotel-Information) > > [HL Club Playa Blanca Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Yaiza-Hotels-HL-Club-Playa-Blanca-Hotel.h50565239.Hotel-Information) > > [Sunset Marquis](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Los-Angeles-Hotels-Sunset-Marquis.h577893.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from Manchester (MAN) to Mauguio (MPL)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/man/mpl/manchester-to-montpellier) > > [Ryanair Prestwick (PIK) to Granadilla de Abona (TFS) flights](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flight-routes/ryanair-from-prestwick-to-tenerife-south/fr/pik/tfs) > > [Flights from Birmingham (BHX) to Honolulu (HNL)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/bhx/hnl/birmingham-to-honolulu) > > [Flights from Bangkok (BKK) to Luang Prabang (LPQ)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/bkk/lpq/bangkok-to-luang-prabang) > > [Flights from Vancouver (YVR) to London (LHR)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/yvr/lhr/vancouver-to-london) > > [Vueling Airlines Barcelona (BCN) to Gatwick (LGW) flights](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flight-routes/vueling-airlines-from-barcelona-intl-to-gatwick/vy/bcn/lgw) ### Activities > [Things to do in Pulheim](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Things-To-Do-In-Pulheim.d6003690.Travel-Guide-Activities) ### Packages > [Aqualandia](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Aqualandia-Benidorm.d6067255.Attraction) > > [Tagum Holidays](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Tagum.d6292802.Holidays-City-Breaks) ### General > [Visit English Harbour](https://www.expedia.co.uk/English-Harbour.dx9313) > > [Visit Torbay](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Torbay.dx553248635996998245) > > [Visit Ulvik](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ulvik.dx4447)
