Novales (Cantabria): the village of lemons
Novales is a small rural village in Cantabria, known for its mild climate and the lemon trees you can see all around the town. It is a very peaceful place, with traditional stone mountain houses, where you can enjoy the atmosphere of an authentic village, but you are only a few minutes’ drive from the coast.
It is ideal if you are looking for a relaxing holiday, combining nature, easy walks and time at the beach.
What to see in Novales?
-
Town centre and stone houses
The main plan here is to stroll at your own pace: quiet streets, stone façades and lemon trees in the gardens. It is a small village, so it is very easy to walk around without needing a car. -
Monuments to traditional trades
In the centre you will find small monuments dedicated to the old trades of the village, such as miners or shoemakers. They show that Novales is not only picturesque, but also had an important industrial and craft life.
What to do in Novales?
- Enjoy the natural surroundings
The area is full of orchards, streams and simple paths for walking. These are not technical routes: they are easy, pleasant walks to disconnect, breathe fresh air and take photos.
Nearby excursions
From Novales, in just a few minutes by car you can reach:
- Nearby beaches, such as Luaña beach (Cóbreces), so you can combine village life and sea in the same holiday.
- Very touristic villages such as Santillana del Mar or Comillas, perfect for a half-day or day trip.

Nos encantó el lugar, la ubicación, la atención del personal. Todo perfecto
I have no suggestions for improvement. We barely spent any time at the accommodation because we made the most of exploring the area, but we would have happily stayed longer to enjoy the stay.
No tengo sugerencias de mejoras. Apenas estuvimos en el alojamiento porque aprovechamos para disfrutar de la zona, pero de buena gana nos habríamos quedado a disfrutar más la estancia

El chico de recepción muy amable, a pesar de que la encargada fué hasta maleducada con nosotros
The place feels like it wants to be good but falls short. The facilities are a little neglected.
On arrival there was an issue with the room because our booking stated it was a quadruple room (1 double bed and 2 single beds) and they offered us a room with 1 double bed and only one single bed for our two children, aged 10 and 12. There is no way they could sleep like that!!!
The manager insisted she was right and said it was our interpretation, when the booking was perfectly clear. It took her a long time to resolve the problem.
She phoned the company they deal with to complain, and left us standing in front of them looking like opportunists, when we were only asking for what we had booked!!!
We are still waiting for an apology from the manager for the way she treated us on arrival, taking out her displeasure with the intermediary company on us (the customers).
El lugar parece un quiero y no puedo. Las instalaciones un poco dejadas.
A nuestra llegada hubo un incidente con la habitación ya que en nuestra reserva decía que era una habitació cuádruple (1 cama de matrimonio y 2 simples) y nos ofrecieron una habitación con 1 cama de matrimonio y una única cama simple para compartir nuestros 2 hijos de 10 y 12 años. ¡¡¡No hay manera que puedan dormir así!!!!
La encargada quería tener la razón y decía que era nuestra interpretación, cuando estaba muy claro en la reserva. Le costó mucho arreglarnos el problema.
Llamó a la empresa con la que hacen los tratos para quejarse, y nos dejó delante de ellos como unos aprovechados, cuando sólo pedíamos lo que habíamos contratado!!!
Aún estamos esperando las disculpas de la encargada por tratarnos tan mal a nuestra llegada, al pagar su descontento con la empresa intermediaria con nosotros (los clientes).

La zona es muy bonita, situado en un pueblo muy agradable para pasear
It could be an amazing place, but it isn’t looked after — there’s a clear lack of maintenance. You can hear everything from the room. We caught a couple of World Cup matches there: at the first one, half the bar area was taken over by friends of the hotel staff with food and drink brought in from outside. Those of us who did pay for drinks were made to sit on some chairs at the back and finished watching the match on an iPad, paying through the nose for a very average dinner. So for the second match we bought some snacks to nibble on, and when we went to sit in the bar it turned out that, magically, the rules had changed and the tables were for dinners only — we were left feeling stupid and watched the match on a tiny TV in the room. The breakfast was scant and unremarkable. I repeat what I said at the beginning: it could be an incredible place, but they leave it mediocre.
Podría ser un lugar increíble, pero no lo cuidan, se nota mucha falta de mantenimiento. Desde la habitación se escucha todo. Nos pillaron allí un par de partidos del mundial, en el primero la mitad de la zona del bar se ocupó con amigos de personal del hotel con comida y bebida traída de fuera, nosotros, que sí pagamos consumición, nos tuvimos que sentar en unas sillas al fondo y terminar de ver el partido en el ipad pagando a precio de oro una cena muy normalita, así que para el segundo partido nos compramos cosillas para picar y cuando nos íbamos a sentar en el bar resulta que mágicamente las normas ya eran otras y las mesas solo eran para cenas, así que se nos quedó cara de tontos y vimos el partido en una TV minúscula en la habitación. El desayuno escaso y normalito. Repito lo que he dicho al inicio, podría ser un lugar increíble y lo dejan en mediocre.

El lugar era muy tranquilo. Si es verdad que la habitación estaba muy vieja, una ventana estaba rota por lo que entraba luz todo el rato y en el baño había una ventana en el techo que no se podía cerrar entrando luz todo el rato. La bañera era para tirarla a la basura. La verdad es que necesita una reforma. Aunque está muy limpio

Está hostería está bien pero mejoraría con una pequeña reforma
El aspecto de este es de ensueño tiene una naturaleza que quizás es lo mejor está muy cuidado con jardines y flores que le dan mucho colorido
I repeat it needs a refurbishment, the bed is fine, but the rooms would need soundproofing, some windows are somewhat obsolete, there are nights when noises can be heard, the rooster, some dog, and people making noise. If they solve this, we would be talking about a 10.
Repito necesita una reforma , la cama está bien , pero las habitaciones tendrían que insonorizar l unas ventanas algo obsoletas hay noches que se siente ruidos el gallo algún perro y gente metiendo ruido

Lo mejor ha sido la ubicación, sitio tranquilo y cerquita de todo aunque es necesario el coche tanto para playas como para realizar actividades. El hospedaje desde fuera da una sensación estupenda. Piscina jardines y zonas exteriores cuidadas incluso el edificio. Las zonas comunes tb están en buenas condiciones , con muchos detallitos y cosas.
The breakfasts are scarce and there is little variety if you want to eat something other than industrial pastries, the "healthy" options are rather limited and always the same, a little natural tomato, eggs... wouldn't be bad occasionally. As for the room, it seems they try but we found that the bathtub splashed all the water when showering and we had to put one of the towels (we had two medium and two small ones) to avoid slipping. We left it for them to change the next day and the day after, but we had to put up with it soaked and dirty from the floor, they would put it with the clean ones when they cleaned the room since in three days and with two people they did not change neither towels nor sheets (which are like tissue paper, I suppose because of their age). Also, I must mention that they gave us a room above the kitchen so we could hardly open the window since it did not let in fresh air but rather the smell of fried food. The cleanliness was also quite poor.
Los desayunos escasos y poca variedad si lo que quieres es comer algo que no sea bollería industrial las opciones "sanas" son más bien escasas y siempre las mismas algo de tomate natural, huevos......no estaría mal de vez en cuando. Respecto a la habitación se ve que intentan pero nos encontramos que la bañera salpicabas todo el agua a la hora de ducharte y tuvimos que poner una de las toallas ( teníamos dos medianas y dos pequeñas) para no caernos. La cual dejamos para que la cambiarán al día siguiente y el siguiente pero nos la tuvimos que comer con patatas y encima empapada y sucia del suelo nos la colocaban con las limpias cuando hacían la habitación ya que en tres días y dos personas no nos cambiaron ni toallas ni sábanas ( las cuales son de papel de fumar , supongo que por los años). Tb mencionar que nos dieron la habitación encima de la cocina por lo que no pudimos abrir apenas la ventana ya que no entraba aire fresquito sino a frito. La limpieza tb algo escasa.

Pedimos una habitación con vistas al jardín y piscina y nos la facilitaron ,los desayunos mejoraría los zumos y un poco bacon estaría bien ,el spa cerrado y sería un potencial enorme para el lugar
Instead of putting some canvases to beautify the landscape on the opposite side of the garden, I recommend that you put a fence of firs, aesthetically it is better and more practical.
En vez de poner unas lonas para maquillar el paisaje del lado contrario al jardín les recomiendo que pongan un cierre de abetos, estéticamente es mejor y más práctico
