Jardin Secreto Review|| ||El Jardin Secreto in Santander, Spain is our ‘home away from home’ – literally – when my husband and I visit his parents in this lovely Cantabrian port city on the north coast of Spain. We usually stay a week or two. On a quiet street, just a few minutes walk from the center of town, El Jardin Secreto is perfectly located. Also – across the street, a fabulous pastry shop / café run by Rodrigo, and just a few doors down, the hip Colombian bar and restaurant “La Fonda” run by the delightful Marianne. One block away is Santander’s best gym – including a big lap pool and sauna / steam room. Really, the location can’t be beat. The hotel is charming – only 6 rooms – each with either a view of the lovely ‘secret garden’ or the front street. Eneida, the owner, is the perfect hostess: providing fresh towels in the morning, and coffee with sweets in the lobby. Each room is decorated differently, and in a completely contemporary fashion with little Spanish touches. The best thing (in my opinion): The showers – TERRIFIC: roomy with REALLY great water pressure, and shampoo and soap provided. It’s reasonably priced and homey. You’ll love it.
