About this property

Charming cottage on Palacio de Hualle estate, minutes to beaches, near Comillas

The Gatehouse is part of the Palacio de Hualle, a 17th Century manor estate. The Gatehouse is a pretty and comfortable house, full of light and with views of the green fields with grazing horses. With a big living-dining room, a lovely outdoor eating area and two bedrooms , it is perfect for a family of four. In Hualle, a tiny rural hamlet, yet it is in walking distance to shops and restaurants. Only a fifteen minute drive to villages of Comillas and Santillana or to beaches of Oyambre and Gerra.
Set on the edge of the tiny rural hamlet of Hualle, south side of house has views of green fields and horses at pasture. The north side of the house has views of the village. The Gatehouse has a large very confortable living room, dining room and kitchen furnished with sofas and local antiques. The kitchen is well equipped and there is a wood burning stove for heat. There is a lovely area for outdoor dining, under the eaves of the barn and the grape vines. Upstairs there are two bedrooms and a bathroom with shower. The bedrooms are spacious, with excellent beds and linens, ample closet space and are also decorated with local antiques. There is also a seating area in the garden , overlooking the horse pastures, where the Gatehouse guests are welcome to sit and enjoy the greenery.

The Gatehouse is a completely independent house within the Palacio de Hualle estate.


The house will be carefully prepared and ready for the arrival of the guests. The beds shall be made, with fresh linens and towels in place. Our housekeeper will show you into the house when you arrive, and will be available if anything comes up.



Located in tiny village of Hualle, a hamlet of about 25 traditional village houses. It is extremely peaceful. Nonetheless, well stocked shops are within walking distance.

Great location

We enjoyed our holiday. The cottage would benefit from an audit of crockery, cooking utensils etc. eg, more breakfast bowls needed and no teapot lid. A welcome pack in the house giving info how things work, eg recycling, hot water, where to get firewood, and general info of places to visit would be good and perhaps a visitors comments book. Appreciated Mari, the housekeeper, help and cleaning very much. It’s a beautiful building with nice linens and very well located in the area.

Comfort and luxury in one!

A beautiful setting and a fantastic location to explore this great region. We were very well looked after by Mari the housekeeper ad the place was spotless with luxury linen, comfy beds and sofas and all that we needed in the kitchen. We ate outside each evening which was lovely. From the house we had days out at the local beaches, cycle rides in the hills and had a lovely meal out in Cabezón de la Sal. We were even there for the local fiesta (August 5th) and were treated to traditional music and celebrations - it did get very loud in the evening but it was a one off and it was fun to join in with!) Gracias.

Lovely gatehouse in beautiful setting

We really enjoyed our stay here. The gatehouse has been sympathetically renovated and is very comfortable. The master bedroom has lovely views across the rolling countryside and the rustic outdoor furniture situated under the ancient vine covered awning is a really lovely place to eat - even in a rain shower!. The kitchen is brilliantly stocked with plenty of equipment (even a tumble dryer) and the extras such as washing powder were appreciated; thank you. The gatehouse is in a tiny and very picturesque hamlet just off a main road into Cabezón de las Sal, about 5km away. There are loads of super bars and restaurants there, and also in the village of Carrejo, where there are a couple of easy walks to do with kids and lovely river swimming spots. Closer to the hamlet of Hualle there’s a good shop, which is open in the mornings, a couple of good bars and restaurants within walking distance. All in all a brilliant stay with a friendly and welcoming host who was very kind and accommodating! Thanks so much. Highly recommended.

Lovely gatehouse next to the palacio located in the Treceño countryside

We had a wonderful stay in Cantabria at Palacio Hualle and the adjacent Gatehouse. We enjoyed the stay very much with its quirky layout and enjoyed reading the book about the architect Henri Jova who restored the grounds. Mari, the housekeeper is the true star of the show making us a delicious traditional Spanish paella which was superb! Also this was for 12 people! (La paella estaba deliciosa!) Treceño is a lovely peaceful area and the Palacio has spacious grounds with a little chapel in the grounds and donkeys in the ajacent field. The Palacio is very traditional and mixed the old with the modern well with antique furniture and with a modern well equipped kitchen with range cooker and an American style fridge/freezer. There is a small town centre in Treceño where you can get reasonably priced food, coffee and beers/wines etc. The Mercadona supermarket is a couple of kilometers away and only a few minutes drive (given the area, a car is probably a necessity for most people unless doing the trip as part of a cycling holiday) We would definately stay again!

Beautiful and well stoked

The communications with the owner and the housekeeper were excellent. We had a well stoked kitchen, a wood stove with wood to burn, and plenty of room. The house has all the comforts of a modern place with the charm of a rustic old house. I recommend it.

El lugar y el alojamiento son muy bonitos, rústicos y relajantes. La persona de contacto en el lugar es muy atenta y amable. La ubicación está mal. Si quieres llegar siguiendo las indicaciones que te ponen en Google, Apple o waze, acabas en otro sitio. En la web hay el teléfono de una tal Margareth que nunca te coje el el teléfono y tuvimos que acabar preguntando en el pueblo.

In 1988, the Jova brothers recuperated this old family house where their great, great grandmother was born. The house had been abandoned for decades and was in a state of ruin. The North American brothers, Henri Jova, an architect and Joseph John Jova, a career diplomat restored the palacio. Their family lovingly maintains the house and continues to gather here every summer.
