La Pisa

A small mountain hotel in the Picos de Europa

La Pisa is a family run guesthouse located in the pretty village of Aniezo in Cantabria, close to the ancient village waterwheel ("pisa") that gives the hotel its name and an ancient packhorse bridge. Far from anywhere yet with good road communications, it is an ideal place to start to explore the Picos de Europa.

The Picos are a cornucopia of astonishing and spectacular views, and those views start right there in the garden of La Pisa. In summer the garden and terraces are great places to relax, maybe having a pre-dinner drink after an energetic day in the mountains. After dinner, retire to the bar and compare notes with the other guests.

La Pisa has 8 comfortable en-suite rooms, offering the option of double or twin beds.

The Picos de Europa offers a diverse variety of mountain scenery, pretty villages and wildlife. For the active there is walking, climbing, canyoning, mountain and road biking. For those who prefer a more relaxed holiday, there is bird watching, photography and painting.
