Posada Molino del Canto

This unusual little countryside hotel, that was once a mill and the miller's house, is located in the Valley of Zamanzas, on the edge of the River Ebro. The hotel is 88 km. from Santander and 77 km. to the fascinating city of Burgos. Both of the 13th century buildings have been carefully restored using as many of the original materials as possible, and this lovely complex of oak and limestone is now a comfortable and friendly little inn. The six guest rooms are in the original miller's house, along with the dining room and the kitchen. What was once the oven is now the office, and the mill itself has been renovated so that guests can see it working. The rooms (all ensuite and non-smoking) have central heating, comfortable beds and traditional furniture. All of the rooms have two floors (duplex) with the possibility of sleeping a family with two children, and extra beds are available. There is a pleasant little dining room where you can enjoy the local products used in regional cuisine (for example, pumpkin cream, goats cheeses, quince and homemade breads). You need to reserve dinner in advance. You can have breakfast and dinner in the dining room or, in summer, in the garden. Surrounded by the countryside, this is a peaceful place to stay.
