El Solar, Solórzano Overview
El Solar is located in Solórzano, Spain. Rated 10.0 out of 10 based on 4 guest reviews.
El Solar is a countryside stay in Solórzano, Spain, set in Barrio La Lastra, 15A, making it a calm base for exploring the Cantabrian landscape. With a guest rating of 10/10 from four reviews, the overall impression is consistent: travelers value the quiet setting, the care taken between stays, and the straightforward, comfortable rhythm of a non-smoking property. Check-in runs from 05:00 PM to 06:00 PM and check-out is at 01:00 PM, which helps you plan day trips without feeling rushed.
This is best for families and solo explorers who want nature within reach rather than a city-centre itinerary. You can spend a full day in Picos de Europa National Park, about 45 km away, or head to the coast for Playa de El Sardinero, around 30 km from El Solar. If you’re mixing scenery with culture, Santander’s Palacio de Festivales de Cantabria is roughly 29 km away, giving you a clear target for an evening outing.
The terrace adds a simple outdoor option for downtime after drives, and the property’s non-smoking policy supports a fresher indoor environment. Practical details matter here: offsite parking is available with discounted rates, and the team follows local safety protocols with guest rooms disinfected between stays. Reviews also point to cleanliness standards that align with current health expectations, including hand sanitizer in key areas and physical distancing rules. If you’re looking for a peaceful base in Solórzano with thoughtful hygiene measures and easy access to both mountains and sea, El Solar fits the bill.
