Hotel La Casona de Amandi

Before arriving at Casona de Amandi I had thought that the hotel was overpriced but having now stayed there I think that it is if anything underpriced for the quality of the building, surroundings and service. This is a simply lovely place. The building is historic and decorated appropriate for its age. There are extensive seating areas inside, some with cupboards full of books and others with access to the outside. The grounds are huge and well cared for with seating dotted around under the eaves and on the lawns. It is in a word, beautiful.||||My room was a standard size with a queen bed, small table and chair. The window opened on to the street but Amandi is such a quiet village that there was no undue noise even when the window was open. The bathroom was a good size with the shower over a tub. I loved the original wooden floorboards that listed a little to one side. Very much in keeping with the age of the house. There is an honesty bar on the ground floor with virtually any drink that you could want plus ice maker and lemons. The room also has an espresso maker and kettle for tea. The breakfast room is nicely decorated with well spaced tables. A substantial packed meal was left out for me because I was leaving before breakfast hours and was much appreciated during my strenuous walk along the Camino de Santiago. ||||The proprietors speak good English and are very helpful. The wifi wasn’t really good in my room but I expect there are parts of the house where it works just fine.||||The quality of the Casona de Amandi was a welcome surprise and it is highly recommended.

If you’re looking for beauty and solitude, this is the place. It’s a beautiful old hotel with lovely grounds and gardens. It is a perfect event location. The staff was kind to let us check in early and they keep a low profile between checking you in and breakfast. The complimentary breakfast was the best we’ve had with fresh baked bread and fruit, yogurt, cheese, ham, cereals, nuts, coffee and juice, etc. The only minor issue is the air doesn’t circulate well and the room was a bit hot. A fan would probably help. Mosquitoes are numerous so having some repellent would be a good idea.

This place is lovely. The rooms are large and well appointed. The whole hotel is great. Magnificent grounds. 100 years old Sequoia and Wisteria plus other magnificent trees. The common areas are fabulous. The hosts are excellent. Highly recommend, wish we could stay longer, but we are walking the Camino.

The staff here are very friendly and helpful, there is a very big garden outside with a lot of space to let a dog run loose. The only downside to it is that there isn’t much near and there isn’t any air conditioning. But overall it is very nice and I would come back another time

One of the most charming spots we have ever been in, with a beautiful big garden and a wonderful interior, very private and with some very big and spectacular rooms. The breakfast is fantastic, with fresh “tomate rallado”, good bread, fresh orange juice and very delicious (and daily changing) smoothies and if you want you can order dinner which is very individual and as delicious as the breakfast. The owners and the stuff are extremely friendly and warm persons so we enjoyed a lot our stay and surely will come back another year.

This was our last stop on a motorcycle tour to Portugal and on our way back to Santander. The hotel is charming and only a mile or so from the motorway and near the town of Villaviciosa. The rooms are beautifully decorated with solid wood floors and all with en-suite. The gardens are immaculate. There is a restaurant nearby but you'll need to take your Spanish dictionary with you. The hotel also has an honesty bar with every conceivable drink plus pork scratchings! The hotels car park is secure and behind a licked, electric gate.

The 19th Century building, set in beautiful gardens, has been elegantly transformed into a stylishly dignified rustic retreat. The bedrooms are comfortably spacious, the graceful guest lounge offers a relaxed environment, as does the upstairs gallery overlooking the lawns.||||Service is welcoming, responsive, yet unobtrusive. The “honour bar” is a nice touch. Food is deliciously fresh, tasty, and attractively presented.

I spent 5 days over Asturias and this place is awesome cause it is really calm and you are in real contact with the nature. The rooms are more than ok and the breakfast is well prepared by the owners of the house. It is a familiar atmosphere.
