Photos and Description of the Vega de Liébana vacation apartment rental
A one-bedroom and a two-bedroom apartment, pool, gardens and social room

Former farmstead delightfully converted into top-quality self-catering accommodation in the Picos de Europa, Cantabria, Northern Spain. Perfect combination of rustic charm and modern comforts. Part of an 8-apartment (of 1, 2 or 3 bedrooms) establishment in Tudes, Cantabria Village of the Year 2010 - a quiet, sunny yet living village. Wonderful mountain views. Family-run (joint British/Spanish). Each apartment is fully independent and furnished and equipped to very high standard. Decoration includes charming murals by local artists. Communal areas consist of swimming pool (warmed by solar panels), social room (pool table, large-screen TV, DVDs, free Internet access, games, library, maps and information), gardens laid to grass, stone, brick and flower beds (with table football) and a lovely wooden-roofed entrance with seating beneath, ideal for relaxing in the shade. Old perimeter wall creates effect of a village within a village. Owners have a bar in the village with pool and darts.

Food and drink: The kitchen is extremely well appointed, making self catering an obvious and attractive option. There are well-stocked supermarkets in Potes (a 10 minute drive). For those wishing to eat out, there are restaurants and other eating houses in Potes and La Vega (10 minutes by car), and in some of the other villages in the area. Details are included in the information pack provided on arrival.

The water comes straight from a mountain spring. While to date no guests have experienced problems with it, buying bottled water is of course an option.

How To Get Here: There is now greatly improved (and cheaper) access to the Picos de Europa from the UK. Ryanair have frequent flights from London Stansted to Santander and Valladolid and (depending o the season) from Liverpool to Santander. EasyJet fly from Stansted to Oviedo and Bilbao. There are Plymouth - Santander and Portsmouth - Bilbao ferry crossings. From Santander the journey by car to Tudes takes 1 1/2 hours (1 3/4 from Oviedo, 2 1/4 from Bilbao and Valladolid). There are also two buses a day from Santander to Potes. Detailed instructions on how to reach Tudes will be provided following booking.

The Social Room: One of the most popular features of La Casa de Las Chimeneas is the social room, open to anyone staying in the apartment. It contains a number of different areas each with its own atmosphere:

- two sofas before a wood-burning stove, with maps, leaflets etc nearby.

- a pool table and other games.

- a large-screen TV for watching films, DVDs, football matches or whatever.

- a computer with free Internet access, for those who want, or need, to stay in touch.

- a small library.

Tudes - Cantabria Village of the Year 2010 - is 2,000 feet up in the spectacular Picos de Europa, which reach over 8,000 feet. Many of its 30 inhabitants still farm the land and can be seen herding their cattle and sheep through the strees. The starting point for many delightful walks, this pretty, quiet, sunny village is just 10 minutes from the market town of Potes, the focal point of local life. it is the ideal base for exploring the area. It has a bar (opened in 2009) under the same management as La Casa.

The Picos offer spectacular flora and fauna (abundant birds of prey, a fantastic variety of wild flowers and butterflies, the Iberian bear and wolf on the remote higher ground). Exploring the charming villages, sampling the local cuisine, horse riding (or doing more energetic adventure activities) are a few of the many ways to enjoy this wonderful part of northern Spain, which has an almost Mediterranean climate in summer and is only an hour from the sandy Cantabrian beaches.

Other Activities: Birdwatching, canoeing

Highly Recommended

Submitted: October 27, 2012 Stayed: July 2012
Wonderful holiday location! Great facilities, the apartment made us feel at home with its lovely interior. We really enjoyed the rural surroundings. Great hiking in the mountains. Stiff cycling uphill to Tudes but there was the pool to cool us down. We will highly recommend this place to others. Thanks!

We've had a fantastic time here. The apartment is lovely and the veiws were breathtaking. The walks Tony suggests are well worth a try. I especially enjoyed my daily pint in the village bar - very welcoming atmosphere. The place couldn't be better and I can't wait to come back!

This is our 5th visit to Tony and Lucia's. Yet again we have had a total chill-out. The bar is great, the kids don't want to go home (nor mum and dad). Thank you once again for a great holiday.

Bikers paradise

This a very special place. What you find is great accomodation in a location that takes your breath away.
The small hamlet is quiet with stunning veiws of the mountains its almost like being in a Clint Eastwood western- but in a good way.
Tony and his wife are very friendly and helpul and run it very well, it live up to all the descriptions you get on their web site and goes well beyond.
The accomodation is of a good standard with all the amenities you need.
The hamlet has no shops but these are not far away.
By next year (2009) there will be a small bar open mainly for the use of the guests and if its like the rest of what Tony has done will complete the picture
If you are a biker then the roads will amaze you, if you are a walker its the same only slower.
The nearest town is Potes which can be ridden in about 15 mins or walked in 45. Its a superb place with a good supply of bars and restaurants along with winding streets and olde buildings plus shops. The region is fantastic for touring by any form; the roads are quiet and run through magnificant scenery.

Access is easy, its only 70 miles from Santander ferry which can be travelled mostly by motorway through pleasant countryside and is usually quite empty.

In summary it goes on my list of a place I would go back to without hesitation and thats exactly what we are going to do.
