Apartamentos los Balcones, Santander Overview
Apartamentos los Balcones is located in Santander, Spain. Rated 8.8 out of 10 based on 28 guest reviews.
Apartamentos los Balcones is a family-friendly apartment stay in Santander, Spain, set on Calle el Mazo de Arriba 2, an address that works well for travelers who want independence without being cut off from the city. With a guest rating of 8.8/10 from 28 reviews, it’s the kind of place people tend to recommend for a calm base: guests commonly mention the ease of settling in and the helpfulness of the team when planning day trips.
The apartments suit different travel styles because they’re non-smoking and designed for groups, including family rooms where children are welcome. After a day on the coast, the terrace and outdoor furniture give you a place to slow down, and the availability of board games and puzzles can turn quieter evenings into something more than just TV time. If you’re driving, the property’s free parking and discounted offsite parking rates are a real plus for road-trip itineraries.

For a change of pace, Puerto Chico is around 3 km, and the Palacio de Festivales de Santander is about 3 km for events and waterfront walks. Many guests also like having a tour desk on hand for practical guidance, especially when coordinating visits around the bay.
