The Fountains House, Crémenes Overview
The Fountains House is located in Crémenes, Spain. Rated 9.7 out of 10 based on 3 guest reviews.
The Fountains House is a family-friendly holiday home in Crémenes, Spain, set on Calle David Álvarez Díez Marques de Cremenes, a quiet base for exploring the surrounding countryside. Guests consistently rate it 9.7/10, and the small number of reviews points to a place that feels carefully looked after rather than busy or anonymous. The layout works well for groups because it offers four bedrooms, a fully equipped kitchen, and multiple bathrooms, so mornings and evenings don’t turn into a scheduling problem. After time outdoors, the shared lounge and TV area give everyone a common space to unwind, while outdoor furniture and BBQ facilities make it easy to eat outside when the weather is kind.
This is the kind of stay road-trippers tend to like: free parking is available, and the property notes discounted rates for offsite parking, which helps if you’re planning day trips. Non-smoking rooms and non-smoking throughout keep the atmosphere fresh, and the house is disinfected between stays with staff following local safety protocols.
If you’re planning excursions, you can build days around the wider mountain region, with Picos de Europa reachable in roughly 55 km and Montaña Palentina in about 60 km. For a longer day, the Embalse de Riaño area is around 90 km away. Couples can enjoy the privacy of a full home, but it’s especially well suited to families who want space, a kitchen for flexible meals, and a calm setting where everyone can recharge between hikes, fishing, or scenic drives.
