About this cottage rental
The Balneario de Fontibre is a carefully restored gem, a former seaside resort that reopened to the public in the summer of 2021. With 450 m² and capacity for 12-14 people, it offers the perfect balance between history, comfort and nature.
On the first floor you will find five spacious bedrooms and five bathrooms, a large living room of 60 m² with TV and streaming, WiFi, a fully equipped kitchen, a dining room and a comfortable living room with jacuzzi (optional). From the magnificent 50 m² terrace you can enjoy the garden and mountain views while having breakfast or sharing an alfresco dinner.
Each room is equipped with bath products, towels and bathrobes for comfortable access to the spa. On the upper floor you will find single beds, a games room with table tennis, a children's area and exercise bikes: ideal for families or groups.
The exterior offers a privileged natural environment: a 5,000 m² garden enclosed by a stone wall, a barbecue, a picnic area with stone table and seating, and private parking inside the property. All without stairs and with easy access.
The optional hot tub, with lighting, 102 jets and Bluetooth speakers, is available 24 hours a day for a unique relaxation experience. Radiant underfloor heating ensures year-round comfort.
The Balneario de Fontibre has a century-old history: in the twentieth century it was known for its medicinal mineral waters, awarded with gold medals in London and Madrid. Today, Maite and Javier, descendants of the Escalada family, have enthusiastically rehabilitated this singular building to become the perfect refuge for those seeking rest, nature and well-being in a quiet environment.
ACTIVITIES IN THE AREA:
Nature and hiking
Just 200 m away is the Source of the Ebro, a small riverside park with a simple wheelchair accessible path, among ash, poplar and oak trees, with a picnic area and fountains to sit and enjoy the scenery.
From Fontibre start signposted routes such as the PR-S 80 and the section of the GR-99 (Ebro Natural Path), perfect for quiet walks or longer days of hiking.
Nearby is the Ebro Reservoir, which offers walks around the water and an open landscape different from the spring forest.
Sports and adventure activities
In the area you can practice hiking, mountain biking, cycling and horseback riding, enjoying the paths of the Campoo Valley and the surroundings of the reservoir.
For adrenaline seekers, there is canoeing, rafting, kayaking and other water sports in the reservoir, as well as quad and 4x4 routes in the mountains.
In winter, the Alto Campoo ski resort stands out, about 19 km away, while the Nestares golf course, about 3 km away, allows you to enjoy a day of golf with views of the valley.
Culture, villages and gastronomy
In the immediate area, you can visit the Castle of Argüeso and the Cantabrian Village, as well as the Roman town of Julióbriga and the Romanesque collegiate churches of Cervatos and San Martín de Elines.
Reinosa, about 4-5 km away, concentrates services, shops and restaurants, and is known as the "snow capital" of the area.
Following the road, you will discover villages in the Campoo Valley with emblazoned mountain houses, ideal for combining walking, photography and local gastronomy.
Great full-day tours
Less than an hour away by car, you can organize trips to the Saja-Besaya Natural Park and the Fuente Dé aerial cableway, combining forests, high mountains and spectacular viewpoints.
It is also possible to dedicate a day to the Cabárceno Nature Park and return to the seaside to end the day in the jacuzzi or on the terrace at sunset.
On the first floor you will find five spacious bedrooms and five bathrooms, a large living room of 60 m² with TV and streaming, WiFi, a fully equipped kitchen, a dining room and a comfortable living room with jacuzzi (optional).
