Answers, before you ask.

You can book online. On our booking page, choose a residency period (or your private-stay dates), then choose a room type. In the house, that is the Seaside Suite, a room with a private bathroom, a room with a shared bathroom, or the Miniroom; in the apartment (the piso), a room with a private bathroom or the room with a private art studio. We assign your exact room within the type you choose. If you have a partial funding code, enter it to see your discounted rate. If you would rather ask a question first, you can send an enquiry instead.

When you request a booking, we place a hold on your card for the full amount. Nothing is charged yet. We confirm, usually within 48 hours and no later than 7 days, and only then is your card charged. If we can't confirm, the hold is released and you pay nothing.

Of course. Choose "Send an enquiry" on the booking page, which takes no payment or card details, or write to us directly at [email protected].

If your booking has not been confirmed yet, you can withdraw it at any time: the hold on your card is released and you are not charged.

For rooms and residencies, once a booking is confirmed: you receive a full refund if you cancel 30 or more days before arrival, a 50% refund from 15 to 29 days before, and no refund from 14 days before arrival or less.

For private stays of the whole house: a full refund if you cancel 35 or more days before arrival, a 50% refund from 7 to 34 days before, and no refund from 6 days before arrival or less.

Cancellations must be sent in writing to [email protected]. The full details are in our Cancellation Policy.

Possibly. Date changes depend on availability and need our written approval. If a change is approved, we'll tell you about any difference in price before it is confirmed. Get in touch as early as you can.

Two main ways: a creative residency of one or two weeks, with meals and a host included, or the whole house rented privately for your own group. Each has its own rates and details on its page.

Daily brunch, pantry basics for simple meals at home, one shared dinner each week, weekly house cleaning, a host on hand during your stay, one group excursion a week, and pickup or drop-off from central Santander or Santander airport.

Prices are per room, per week, for one person: €945 for the Suite; €875 for a room with a private bath in the house; €735 for an apartment room with a private bath or the apartment room with a private studio and bath; €805 for a room with a shared bath; and €665 for the Mini-room. Two people sharing a bed can book the Suite or a room with a private bathroom for 40% more, and two-week stays receive a 10% discount (prices are rounded to the nearest €5).

You book a type of room, and we assign your exact room, depending on the group.

Yes. The whole house is available self-catered, by the week or two weeks, with reduced weekly rates for longer stays. A private chef, additional housekeeping, and activities can be arranged on request for an additional cost.

Residencies are one or two weeks, Sunday to Sunday, within the residency periods shown on the booking page. Whole-house private stays are a minimum of two nights (two nights are €1,300, three nights €1,850), except from June to September, when they are a minimum of one week.

Casa Azul has 9 bedrooms in total, a six-bedroom main house plus a separate three-bedroom apartment (the piso), along with a private garden and swimming pool.

Casa Azul is in Cantabria, on Spain's northern coast, about a 10-minute walk from the beach at Playa Usil, Mogro. Santander, with its airport and train station, is close by.

Not at all. The neighbourhood has what we call vidilla, a little life around you. You can walk to a hotel restaurant, a supermarket and a pharmacy, and there are walking paths all through the area that lead to the beach, the estuary, a restaurant, a golf course and fields with cows and other farm animals. It is easy to live here without a car for everyday things, and quiet enough to work.

Yes. There is an artist's studio in the garage and another in the apartment, which is good for messier work. In the house, there are two large tables, one in the kitchen and one in the living room (the salon), and two smaller ones, in the sunroom and in the salon.

Many of the bedrooms have a desk, including the Balcony Room, the Beam Room and the Oar Room. An easel can be set up in any room, and a table can be put outdoors if you'd like to work outside.

Yes. You can host a workshop or event at Casa Azul, or come to one, without staying overnight. Simply let us know through the enquiry form and tell us what you have in mind. We plan to bring more events to Casa Azul in 2027.
