"The Parador de Limpias is in a lovely old building with modern ‘wings’ added - we were not too sure if the modern architecture matched the historic original architecture - however, everyone has their own taste in architecture. The Parador is ideally located for the short drive back to the Santander Ferry Terminal. Our room was lovely (but no tea/coffee making equipment) and the staff were charming. There are two choices for parking - free parking in the hotel grounds a few minutes walk from the building, or right next to the hotel for a few euros a day. Do not be misled by out of date reviews on other websites - the hotel indoor pool closed three years ago! The outdoor pool looked delightful but…. it was closed, as Parador swimming pools only open on 1 June. The town is only a five minute walk away - but not much to see. We were surprised to hear very loud engine revving on the Saturday evening - we wandered into town to find that it was the prelude to the annual Limpias Road Rally - tannoys were announcing the cars and their drivers who were preparing for the next day’s rally. I had forgotten how loud rally car engines are! We made a swift retreat back to the relative tranquillity of the Parador and were then serenaded all day, next day, with the sound of cars racing around the local roads. If you like road rallies, then it will be worth visiting next year. If you like peace and tranquility then I would recommend checking the websites to definitely avoid those dates!!"
"A really pleasant, welcoming hotel that was both quirky and beautifully presented. Incredibly friendly staff, safe storage for bicycles and a short stroll to the beach. Highly recommended!"
"Arrived Tuesday, tired from a long drive from Toledo. Immediately looked after. Room was superb with a great view. Room was very clean, bed was excellent. Food very good. Loved the location of the hotel, after 20 days of travelling around Spain and Portugal this rejuvenated the batteries. An excellent hotel. "
"Atmospheric quirky hotel. Retains convent feel.
Nice staff; good restaurant at night.
Note it doesn’t do breakfast but good cafe nearby. No reception before noon. Good base for Bilbao - on commuter line to central station , one hour trip with regular trains ."
