Amazing house in the middle of the Picos

The house and the stay in the house were amazing. The rooms as well as the garden were perfect for a big group. We felt completely at home and really enjoyed the time in the house. Further, the host was really kind and gave us a warm welcome. Thank you so much for everything, we will definitely come back!

Secluded and charming historic house perfect for large groups

We were a large group (8 adults and 11 kids ranging from 1 to 7 years old) and could not be happier with the property. The house itself is a piece of the region's history, decorated with great taste and incorporating local artifacts that helped to get away. At the same time, we had all the comfort of modern appliances and were well connected. Several different areas were able to accommodate the whole group. The views are breathtaking. Eva was very helpful and easy to communicate with. Unforgettable experience and cannot recommend this property enough. 5/5

Our fourth time in this spectacular house!

We first came to Olmares twenty years ago when our children were little. It is one of the most magical places I have ever stayed. The views are magnificent, the house itself is a beautiful restored stone farmhouse. We were always made welcome by Richard and now by Eva who was an amazing host. This place has to be seen to be believed. I was so very happy to return for a fourth time with my husband , grown up daughter and a friend of ours. Fantastic walks await right out the front door, Potes is a twenty minute drive away, Puente De is forty minutes. There are lots of lovely old villages to explore and incredible food and wine. Thanks Eva for a wonderful stay! We can’t wait to come back again.

Enchanting

We used this property as a base for a 2 week walking holiday in the Picos de Europa. It is ideal for people who like fresh air, exercise and simply stunning views. A traditional farmhouse that has been tastefully renovated in keeping with its history and character. The house is well equipped with all the appliances and utensils you would expect in a property of this calibre. Bathrooms and kitchen are clean with a constant supply of piping hot water. Our host Eva was friendly, attentive and knowledgeable. Nothing was too much trouble. I could go on and extolling about the plus points for staying at this property, but go yourselves, you won't be disappointed. Mike Dillon

Magnifique maison rurale familiale.

Magnifique maison rurale. Très accueillante. Spacieuse. Avec divers cadres de vie à l’intérieur et à l’extérieur. Jardin agréable avec des splendides vues sur la vallée. Très grand BBQ pour faire des côtes de bœuf au feu de bois. Accueil très chaleureux et toujours disponibles pour des conseils sur la région et la maison. Vivement recommandé.

Wonderful stay

Comfortable, well equipped and we liked the beautiful authentic house very much. Nice garden, lovely views, surroundings great for easy and more difficult walks. Swimming pool nearby (some kilometers) at point Asnil at a reasonable rate. Team Olmares was very helpful. Wifi was working well.

Un oasis rural en las montañas

Hace ya muchos años que alquilamos alojamientos en España y el extranjero y en pocas ocasiones se encuentra lo que ofrece Olmares. El mayor lujo es el espacio, el silencio casi absoluto, sólo roto por los sonidos de la naturaleza y los cencerros de las vacas. Y las vistas. Casi cada ventana de la espaciosa villa ofrece unas vistas inolvidables sobre el valle y las montañas. El anuncio y las fotos se ajustan a la propiedad. Las habitaciones son sencillas y cómodas. La actualización de la casa es exquisita, ha cuidado el mantener la mayor parte de los elementos propios, actualizando colores y calidades para hacerla confortable para los estándares actuales. Las zonas comunes disponen de espacio y útiles para que 8-10 personas las puedan compartir cómodamente. El jardín y el patio con su barbacoa nos ha proporcionado tardes y noches de descanso, con espacio para juegos y para meriendas. Durante la quincena de agosto que pasamos había algunas moscas y mosquitos, pero teniendo precauciones mínimas no nos llegaron a molestar en absoluto. Desde la propiedad se puede acceder a pie o después de un breve viaje en coche, a rutas de paseo de todo tipo y dificultad. La mayoría están descritas en el dossier que pone a disposición la propiedad, junto con una pequeña biblioteca sobre fauna, flora y rutas por la zona. La acogida y la comunicación (mediante la ayuda de Lara y también de Max) ha sido muy cercana y fluida y se han cuidado todos los pequeños detalles. Nos gustaría mucho volver a alojarnos en Olmares, esperamos tener otra oportunidad para hacerlo.

Unvergessliche Ferien in kleinem Bergdorf

Das Haus war genau so, wie wir es erwartet hatten. Wir wurden sehr herzlich empfangen und haben 10 sehr schöne Tage dort verbracht. Das Haus bietet unglaublich viel Platz. Wir waren 8 Erwachsene und 5 Kinder und hatten nie das Gefühl uns im Wege zu stehen. Das Highlight des Hauses war für uns die Küche, in der wir jeden Abend lange zusammengesessen haben. Wer urige, gemütliche Häuser mag und auf moderne Schnickschnack ein paar Tage verzichten kann, der findet in Olmares Herrenhaus einen wahren Schatz. Ach ja, die Natur gibt es selbstverständlich auch in Hülle und Fülle rings um Besieda und in einer Stunde ist man am Strand. Was will man mehr?

Full of character in a beautiful setting

Olmares Manor House is a step back in history, with wide oak beams and shuttered windows. It’s location in a quiet village, with views across the valley and hills and handy for exploring Potes and the Picos mountains, is fantastic. The house would benefit from some minor renovations to bring it up to modern expectations without losing its wonderful character, especially in lighting and in the kitchen, but everything works and the kitchen is equipt with most things that a chef needs. The garden and courtyard area were well used for meals and there is outdoor furniture and shade umbrellas. We were there in late August and the mosquitoes were fierce at night, which meant keeping windows closed and made the bedrooms a bit stuffy, with no fans provided. However, the overall experience was that you felt you had had an authentic Spanish holiday!

Solitude in the mountains

Our group of six thoroughly enjoyed our stay in particular the location. The house was extremely interesting and offered all the modern comforts in a very old dwelling. The view was spectacular and the walks around the area were equally as good. The home was always warm and there was ample hot water for our group. Richard was attentive and offered plenty of suggestions for things to do and see. We would recommend a stay at Olmares for anyone looking for a peaceful stay in the mountains.

Paradise Found

The Liebana Valley and the 'Big House' at Olmares really is one of those truly special places and we can honestly say that in many years of travelling far and wide we have never found anywhere so perfect. If you love stunning mountain scenery, not the harsh rocky type but the sort that is filled with dramatic mountain peaks that tower over verdant valleys filled with ancient oak forests and an abundance of flora then this is the place for you. These secretive and properly wild mountains and valleys are comparatively unknown and little visited, they are a true bastion of exciting wilderness and home to wild boar, brown bear, eagles and wolves, completely uniquely..in Europe certainly. My kids..boy 13 and girl 8 loved it..the 'Big House' is a beautiful, big old village manor house filled with history and character that sits magnificently on the side of the valley with views from every beautifully shuttered window, that each deserve individual awards. The real great outdoors is right on the doorstep and after a couple of days of driving off to further flung walking spots [of which there are loads!] we realised after a massive breakfast at the huge old kitchen table that demands such breakfasts, that all we had to do was don our boots and head in any number of directions from the front door to find some proper wilderness adventures right there. It's real 'Boy's Own' stuff..wild boar tracks everywhere, sticks to whittle and streams to dam..when we were there it was sunny and warm [in April] and we didn't see another soul! The other great piece of news, for all of us, was that the valley is filled with some absolutely fabulous local inns and restaurants, not the prissy michelin type, but small places run by charming people that serve some of the biggest, freshest and tastiest steaks you'll ever eat and washed down with delicious local wines. Of course, there is all sorts of other delicious local fare on offer and which we enjoyed, but the steaks took the biscuit and all at a very reasonable price! The house is full of books to read, maps and guide books, Suzanne and Richard have lived in the valley for years..know everyone and everything and are hugely welcoming and helpful.

The perfect getaway

My family and I have just returned from our third trip to Olmares in the Picos de Europa in Northern Spain. The house is so beautiful and well situated that it is difficult to make ourselves do anything other than lean out the windows and stare at the fantastic views or sit in the garden and soak up the atmosphere. Having said that, there is much to do. We have taken many walks which start from the house ranging from a stroll down to the stream which is perfect for little children to a challenging hike through the forest behind Basieda. The town of Potes is a twenty minute drive away and has excellent restaurants, several grocery stores and lovely little lanes to wander down. We have also twice taken the cable car to the top of Fuente De and then walked down through spectacular scenery. As the house at Olmares is so big it is a great place to holiday with friends- we have fit up to seven adults and six children in at once. It is always clean and well equipped. Richard is also very helpful in recommending good restaurants nearby, walks to take and sites to see. I cannot recommend it more highly. My only hesitation in giving Olmares a glowing review is that too many people will discover our favourite getaway!
