The Jomeruca. Town house near beach and mountains

A short distance from skiing, scuba diving, and more, this smoke-free cottage lets you experience it all. Jump into your car and make short work of the 10-minute drive to Laberinto de Villapresente or the 14-minute drive to Caves of Altamira (and enjoy the property's convenient onsite parking in the meantime).

After you return to this 2960-sq-ft cottage, unwind in the hot tub or sip a drink on the balcony. As for the great indoors, you can come inside and enjoy the free WiFi, cable/satellite TV, and DVD player.

This 6-bedroom, 4-bathroom rental features a living room, a dining area, and a fireplace. Bathroom amenities include a hair dryer, a bidet, and towels. Prepare a home-cooked meal in the kitchen, complete with an oven, a stovetop, and a refrigerator, as well as a coffee maker, a microwave, and cookware. And because there's access to laundry facilities, you can go a bit lighter on your packing.
