Apartamentos Samelar, Camaleño Overview
Apartamentos Samelar is located in Camaleño, Spain. Rated 9.5 out of 10 based on 23 guest reviews.
Apartamentos Samelar is a mountain-focused apartment stay in Camaleño, Spain, placed at San Pelayo s/n and well suited to travellers who want to base themselves in the Picos de Europa landscape rather than in a city. With a guest rating of 9.5/10 from 23 reviews, recent visitors consistently highlight the calm, comfortable feel and the practical setup for day trips. Families and road-trippers tend to appreciate the straightforward self-catering rhythm, while couples often enjoy the quiet evenings and the outdoor space.
Inside, the apartments are designed for downtime after hiking, with a living area that supports relaxed nights in. Outdoor time is a real part of the experience here: you can use the terrace and make use of the BBQ facilities when the weather allows, and the outdoor furniture helps turn a simple stay into a slower one.

The surrounding area makes it easy to build a varied itinerary. Potes, with its historic centre and local shops, is about 16 km away, while Fuente Dé Cable Car is roughly 25 km from Camaleño for dramatic views and easy access to higher ground. The Picos de Europa National Park itself is close enough to shape your days around walks and viewpoints, and the Monastery of Santo Toribio de Liébana is around 18 km for a culture stop between outdoorsy plans.
Best for families and road-trip friendly travellers who want a quiet base, outdoor space for meals, and reliable internet while exploring the Picos de Europa region.
