“country house Cantabria” It is the search that we all do when we have a calm vacation in mind, the kind in which we try to change the noise of cars for the song of birds, surrounded by our loved ones. However, you will find few like this: the recently inaugurated Villa Pacheca Boutique House It stands out for the exquisite taste with which it has been restored by its owners, Adriana and Germán.
"Surrounded by oaks, cork oaks, pines and fruit trees, the views of the green landscape of a thousand shades flood its five double bedrooms , enormously comfortable and carefully decorated”, explains the couple about the accommodation. It is neither more nor less than 300 square meters to enjoy the slow time of the Community, with an exterior of more than 2,500 that has incredible views of the Toranzo Valley.
“The house is full of very special antiques and furniture,” explains Adriana. “ Beds are high end , the same ones that can be found in four and five star hotels; white towels and sheets are 100% cotton , and there are all kinds of kitchenware and utensils. Everything so that the guest finds himself in an establishment in which, despite not having services, he feels pampered and cared for”.

The idea is to somehow recreate the warm summers of childhood. “When I was a child, I spent every summer in my grandmother's old house, 'El Corral de la Pacheca', located in the mountains. there I felt free to ride a bike, be in contact with animals and nature or walk without looking at the clock ”, She remembers.
PLEASURES OF ANY DAY AT VILLA PACHECA CASA BOUTIQUE
Today, that magic remains in Villa Pacheca Casa Boutique, if one knows how to immerse oneself in it. “ The baker passes at 8:30 a.m. a perfect moment to enjoy the smell of dew that the garden gives off in the morning”, says Germán. "In the Pas Valleys frosts or rains usually fall at night, but the day usually welcomes you with sunshine”.
picking oranges from the tree to make a juice could be the first adventure of the day, while we spot the redhead cows , serene and meek, grazing on the nearby meadows. “To eat, you can buy meat in the town's kilometer zero butcher shop and make it on the house's built-in barbecue, to eat under the two hundred-year-old oak trees in the garden ”, continues the ideologue of Villa Pacheca. Afterwards, it's a pleasure have coffee in the back garden, with the setting sun as a backdrop.

“When evening falls, you can go to the living room to read one of the more than 500 books that composes the library in two heights; light the great fireplace, or watch your favorite netflix series ”, he points out. And before resting in the comfortable beds, the couple proposes us to have dinner in the kitchen on the 19th century pork table, in the dim light of the felt lamps. "It is another of the star moments" of the stay, admits Germán, especially if the day ends with a glass of farm milk and a piece of sobao or quesada

If you feel like going out to stretch your legs, the fun options are also endless. Germán recommends us walk the Greenway of the Pas , an old railway that began in the municipality of Ontaneda -known for its sobaos, ice creams and quesadas- and that almost reached Santander. “Today it has become 35 kilometers of paved road to travel on foot, making running or by bike without fear of passing cars”.
Other pleasures a stone's throw away? relax in the Puente Viesgo Spa , just 15 minutes from the house, or visit the Castle Caves , which house the oldest cave art in the world . “The gastronomic offer is also wide, so it is another great plan to visit the Valles Pasiegos”, admits Germán, recounting just some of the many luxuries that await you in this unforgettable corner of Cantabria.
