Hotel overview

Hotel Villa offers a simple, family-run lodging experience just steps from the sandy shores of Ris Beach. With a no-frills approach, it serves guests seeking clean accommodations and an inviting local atmosphere rather than luxury. The property includes a restaurant and bar with a terrace, ideal for casual meals inspired by homemade recipes. A garden area and playground provide space for families to relax and children to play.

The hotel’s location in Isla, Cantabria, grants easy access to nearby beaches and points of interest like the tidal-powered Santa Olaja mill. Despite being classified as a modest 1-star hotel, attentive, friendly staff help create a welcoming environment. Basic amenities such as free Wi-Fi and parking enhance convenience. While the rooms meet essential standards, expect simplicity consistent with the rating.

Travelers appreciate the hotel’s proximity to multiple beaches popular for swimming and surfing, as well as the quiet setting overlooking the estuary. It serves well for guests wanting a budget-friendly stay near Cantabria’s coast, prioritizing location and a family vibe over upscale features.

“Acabamos de volver de pasar allí 4 días. La ubicación es muy buena, con la ría pasando a los pies del hotel. Las habitaciones pues es lo que tiene una estrella, la gente que se queja que vayan a otro hotel de más categoría. Los desayunos bien, un poco de todo. El servicio muy atento y simpáticos y lo mejor de todo sin duda la perrita Loli, la alegría de llegar al hotel sin duda.”

“Family orientated hotel. Basic facilities but clean and friendly. Meals provided are very good and varied. Position next to the beach fantastic. Only one problem - the Spanish do not get that smoking in the hotel is forbidden but seem to think smoking on their balcony next to the neighbouring room is ok!! Apart from that we may come back again”

“La verdad es que nos gustó mucho. El hotel cumplió con lo que necesitábamos: estaba limpio, bien ubicado y el personal fue muy majo. En especial Carmen, que nos atendió de maravilla. Cogimos media pensión (desayuno y cena) y bastante bien. Todo sencillo, sin lujos, pero correcto y rico. Lo mejor fueron las vistas desde nuestra habitación, directamente a la playuca. Y por las tardes, mientras cenábamos, observábamos a las aves en la ría. Un momento muy tranquilo y bonito. En resumen, una opción económica, sin pretensiones, pero muy agradable.”
