La Casa de las Chimeneas

Unbelievably great place in the old village. With a large pool, a view of the mountains and a bar next to it, where there is billiards and very tasty food. The apartments are spacious, very tidy and cozy. We had an incredibly good time in October

La Casa de las Chimeneas is an amazing location in the Cantabrian Mountains. The apartment itself was very comfortable and beautifully decorated, with a well equipped kitchen and stunning views across the valley towards the Picos de Europa. Having access to a swimming pool is also a huge bonus and very welcome after a day's walking. Tudes itself feels is a beautiful little village, with great walks in every dimension. The Taberna across the road was unfortunately closed during our stay, but there are supermarkets and restaurants in Potes, just a 15 minute drive away, and we brought our food back to cook in the apartment and enjoy with a bottle of wine and an amazing view. We were made to feel very welcome by Lucia, the owner, and felt that everything was taken care of to ensure we had a great stay.

Twenty minutes from the beautiful historic mountain resort of Potes, up a steep winding mountain road, lies the picturesque hamlet of Tudes where you can find La Casa De Las Chimineas. This is a hidden gem that must be experienced to appreciate it fully. We flew into Santander and hired a car for the two hour drive to Tudes. We were met by Lucia, the lovely owner, who showed us to our accommodation; the Milenio apartment, which she informed us was in the oldest part of the building and over 1000 years old. Although within the same building as the other apartments, Milenio is separated, in that it has it's own entrance, garden with sun loungers and separate access to the communal pool. The only drawback (which we got used to quite quickly) was the low doorways, since 1000 years ago apparently people were somewhat shorter! The apartment was clean, well-equipped, remained cool throughout the heat of the day, has excellent Wi-Fi and comfortable beds. Tudes has a delightful pub, serving delicious local food and drink at a very reasonable price and ice-creams during the day. We spent a wonderful fortnight in the apartment, which was ideally placed for rest and relaxation, combined with local walks and interesting sightseeing opportunities. The views from the apartment are spectacular and it was quite a surreal experience to swim in an infinity pool with views to the Picos de Europa mountains. Our teenage daughter particularly appreciated the beautifully clean infinity pool. We would strongly recommend La Casa De Las Chimineas, if you are looking for an authentic Spanish holiday away from it all in the mountains and we are looking forward to returning.

The La Casa de las Chimeneas property is beautiful. Tudes is a very cute, quite small village that is about a 10-15 minute drive from Potes. It’s fairly high up a mountain, with a great viewpoint close to the village to see the surrounding mountains. In the property, there are several common areas available for guests, and everything is high quality and in good condition. The apartment we (a couple) had – the only one with a small private terrace – was very nicely decorated, again with high quality furnishings. The kitchen was well stocked and the washing machine and dishwasher definitely came in handy. The bed in the bedroom we used was very comfortable. There are good supermarkets in Potes to buy food and other supplies. It’s a good base to use to access the many hikes in the southeast Picos de Europa area if you want a quiet, pretty, small village setting. We had a great three nights here in late May/early June 2022 and would highly recommend this accommodation!
