There is a lovely area for outdoor dining, under the eaves of the barn and the grape vines. Upstairs there are two bedrooms and a bathroom with shower. The bedrooms are spacious, with excellent beds and linens, ample closet space and are also decorated with local antiques. There is also a seating area in the garden , overlooking the horse pastures, where the Gatehouse guests are welcome to sit and enjoy the greenery.

The House was the perfect place for our family. Beautiful small village, kind neighbors and cute donkeys just ourside.
We very much enjoyed our stay. Thank you Mari♥️
Gorgeous stay. Wake up to a chorus of owls, tinkling of goat bells, bird songs............beautiful restful and comfortable. Friendly unique village, accommodation has a great bed and wonderful shower. Outside areas and casual strolls around the scenic location ........ a memorable stay. Highly recommended.
We enjoyed our holiday. The cottage would benefit from an audit of crockery, cooking utensils etc. eg, more breakfast bowls needed and no teapot lid.
A welcome pack in the house giving info how things work, eg recycling, hot water, where to get firewood, and general info of places to visit would be good and perhaps a visitors comments book.
Appreciated Mari, the housekeeper, help and cleaning very much. It’s a beautiful building with nice linens and very well located in the area.
A beautiful setting and a fantastic location to explore this great region. We were very well looked after by Mari the housekeeper ad the place was spotless with luxury linen, comfy beds and sofas and all that we needed in the kitchen. We ate outside each evening which was lovely. From the house we had days out at the local beaches, cycle rides in the hills and had a lovely meal out in Cabezón de la Sal. We were even there for the local fiesta (August 5th) and were treated to traditional music and celebrations - it did get very loud in the evening but it was a one off and it was fun to join in with!) Gracias.
We wanted a quiet retreat and the gate house was perfect, magical and very restorative. Our hosts were so welcoming and we enjoyed their company so much. The host manager was lovely and so welcoming when we arrived, all in all a wonderful experience, Thank you

Old house in quiet hamlet
We enjoyed staying here, it was lovely and quiet and very near the motorway to everywhere. Comillas is 15 min away. The dining chairs are old as is the fridge!! The beds were very comfy.
Having spent vacation in historical Italian Vrbo homes we were super excited for this cottage. Booked 2 days, but left after 1. The outside appeared it had not been cleaned in a long while. The inside had a peculiar musty odor. I love shabby boho style, but the place just is shabby. There was nothing charming in the barrio. The photographer did a great marketing job, we were duped.
Sehr ruhige und schöne Umgebung, das Haus und die Wohnung haben ein sehr edles Flair, verfügt über sehr viel Platz, alles was man braucht ist vorhanden und in sehr gutem Zustand. Das Haus ist liebevoll eingerichtet und uns haben in den Zimmern frische Blumen begrüsst.Kommunikation und Erreichbarkeit vor Ort sehr gut.Einziges Problem für uns war es bei der Anreise das richtige Haus im Dorf zu finden
La casa está dispuesta al detalle, con todo lo necesario. Es preciosa, con chimenea y muy acogedora. La ubicación es fantástica. El trato de María ha sido de 10.
No encuentro las palabras para describir lo a gusto que hemos estado en este apartamento.Mari es una mujer muy atenta y nos hizo la estancia muy cómoda y acogedora. Todo estaba limpio
Lovely gatehouse next to the palacio located in the Treceño countryside
We had a wonderful stay in Cantabria at Palacio Hualle and the adjacent Gatehouse.
We enjoyed the stay very much with its quirky layout and enjoyed reading the book about the architect Henri Jova who restored the grounds.
Mari, the housekeeper is the true star of the show making us a delicious traditional Spanish paella which was superb! Also this was for 12 people! (La paella estaba deliciosa!)
Treceño is a lovely peaceful area and the Palacio has spacious grounds with a little chapel in the grounds and donkeys in the ajacent field.
The Palacio is very traditional and mixed the old with the modern well with antique furniture and with a modern well equipped kitchen with range cooker and an American style fridge/freezer.
There is a small town centre in Treceño where you can get reasonably priced food, coffee and beers/wines etc. The Mercadona supermarket is a couple of kilometers away and only a few minutes drive (given the area, a car is probably a necessity for most people unless doing the trip as part of a cycling holiday)
We would definately stay again!
The communications with the owner and the housekeeper were excellent. We had a well stoked kitchen, a wood stove with wood to burn, and plenty of room. The house has all the comforts of a modern place with the charm of a rustic old house. I recommend it.
Alojamiento muy bonito .Tal cual el anuncio..Muy limpia. Para nosotros ha sido estancia ideal en todos los sentidos.Alojamiento muy recomendable. Ojalá podamos volver.

Descanso total
Sin mayores comentarios aparte del ama de casa que es excelente persona por lo demás muchos ruidos de obras y perros! Y además el ruido del piso al caminar después de un par de días es inaguantable
Una casa preciosa, en un entorno muy bonito. Con total amabilidad por la ama de llaves. La yegua y la mula han entretenido mucho a nuestra hija y también el parque de al lado. Totalmente aconsejable.
