There is parking underground for one car. The apartment in Ramales De La Victoria is located 20 minutes from Laredo beach, 40 minutes from Santander and 50 minutes from Bilbao, the home of the Guggenheim and a wonderful daytrip to the Casco Viejo.

The Glorious San Sebastian is also within a few hours drive. If you love food (Pintxos and Basque cuisine) and wine (Rioja and Verdejo), Bilbao and San Sebastian will be highlights to your trip.

Ramales de la Victoria is near the Pozalagua caves, Karpin Abentura park and a 5 minute drive away are the famous Covalana caves.

A town with enough bars, (Bar Quintela, Bar Vitorin, Willie's and many more) restaurants and shops to keep you entertained if you decide to stay in town. Or on those rainy days, stay inside enjoy the views and free WIFI.

Easy day trips to the Rioja wine region (see Frank Gehry's design at the Marques de Riscal (photo), superb mountain vistas, scenic rivers and of course the often rugged north coast of Spain.

Take yet another scenic drive to Bustablado for a delicious local dinner or drive north to Santoña for the freshest fish at Pasqual.

The drive through the most scenic Valle del Ason will also stay in your memory for a long time. (see photo)

Clean, convenient and quiet
We really enjoyed our stay in this apartment. It was super clean and had everything we needed. (Honestly, I wish I could live in an apartment like this all the time.) And the views! The first thing I would do after waking up is look at the mountain views. Stunning! We loved being able to walk to the grocery stores, restaurants and other places. Also, it was so quiet. We slept well every night. I would definitely stay here again!

Brilliant apartment
Very close the the town centre. Great little coffee shops and large supermarket at end of town. In the apartment everything we need to enjoy our stay . Had an issue with losing power when using too many appliances all at once but sorted over the phone within 10 minutes by hostess.

Lovely Apartment
My husband and I stayed in Michell and Marc’s apartment for four nights. The apartment was clean, nicely furnished and well equipped, with beautiful views from each of the balconies. We used Ramales as our “home base” to explore Bilbao, Gernika, the north coast and the cave museum in Altamira. We loved the area and did not have the opportunity to do everything we wanted on our list. We arrived late at night and had difficulty finding the apartment, and thought we were going to have to find a hotel for the night. We called Michell and Marc and between them and the helpful young woman from the local hotel, we were able to find and obtain access to the building. Despite the initial challenge, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Thank you!

Beautiful apartment with awesome views
Michell was there to meet us and made the whole experience from an initial enquiry to departure a very personal one. Apartment was very well equipped, and even provided beach towels as well as bath towels. That is thinking about the guest! Beautiful views from the different balconies. Thanks Michell, we felt very welcomed.

Lovely apartment in typical Spanish town. Difficult to find decent restaurants though many bars in town. Email with access information was received after arrival luckily met owners relative who let us in.

Beautiful apartment with beautiful views from all windows
Michell’s Apartment is fantastic with beautiful views. The apartment had everything we needed and is beautifully decorated and furnished. The lift to the third floor was appreciated for taking luggage up and down. There are lovely walks from Ramales and also two important caves within walking distance. A short drive to Ason where there were excellent walks too. The town of Ramales has shops and restaurants and we were lucky to hear the local brass band playing in the town bandstand. It is quite lively at weekends and quieter in the week. We really enjoyed our stay.

Superb place to stay! Absolutely immaculate, nicely furnished and extremely well equipped flat.
We had a lovely week in northern Spain and will certainly visit again. The flat was great and had everything we needed. It was modern in decor, extremely well equipped and we had everything we needed. The beds were comfortable too! It was lovely to see the mountains from our balconies - fab views - a great location in town with shops and cafes a short walk away. Ramales is a great place to stay if you want a combination of mountains and sea. We hired bikes so did some cycling on several days while the teenagers snored on! The beaches were fab too. Bilbao Guggenheim is a must but we ran out of time to see the town unfortunately. However, it's a good excuse to go back! Michell, who owns the flat in Ramales, was very friendly and helpful and gave lots of tips on what to see and do! You won't be disappointed if you decide to stay here. We can thoroughly recommend! 5*

Wanderurlaub
Das Appartement lag wie beschrieben im Dorfkern und es gab sogar einen Tiefgaragenstellplatz den wir nutzen konnten. Die Aussicht war wunderschön und es war alles da was wir brauchten. Die Lage eignete sich perfekt für unsere Wanderausflüge in die Umgebung. Die Landschaft ist atemberaubend und es gibt viel zu entdecken. Es gibt mehrere Supermärkte in fußläufiger Entfernung, in denen man alles bekommt was man braucht. Der Austausch mit Michell war immer sehr angenehm und wir hatten zu jeder Zeit die wichtigen Informationen in der App verfügbar. Es war ein rundherum toller Urlaub in Ramales. Vielen Dank!
