Frequently asked questions

Answers, before you ask.

The practical details on how staying, booking and visiting Casa Azul works. If your question isn't here, it's easiest to just ask.

Booking & payment

How does booking actually work?

Right now, booking works by enquiry rather than instant online payment. Choose a residency week or your private-stay dates on our booking page, tell us a little about your plans, and send the form.

We check availability at the house and get back to you, usually within 48 hours, to confirm your dates and arrange payment directly with you.

Do I need to pay anything to send an enquiry?

No. Submitting the booking form doesn't take any payment or card details — we're not set up for online payment just yet. We'll sort out payment directly with you once your dates are confirmed.

What if I need to cancel or change my dates?

Since nothing is charged when you send an enquiry, you're free to change your mind at no cost any time before we've confirmed your stay together.

If you need to cancel or change dates after everything's been confirmed, get in touch as soon as you can — we handle these case by case and will always try to find something fair.

Can I just ask a question before booking?

Of course. The booking page is really just an enquiry form itself — tell us what you're interested in, no payment details needed, or reach us directly by email.

Stays & what's included

What kinds of stays does Casa Azul offer?

Two main ways: a longer residency stay with meals and a host included, or the whole house rented privately for your own group. Each has its own rates and details on the booking page.

What's included with a residency stay?

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.

Can I rent the whole house for my group?

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

Is there a minimum length of stay?

Durations are generally flexible — tell us the dates you have in mind. From mid-June to mid-September, private whole-house stays run one week at a time, Sunday to Sunday.

The house & location

How many people can Casa Azul host?

Casa Azul has 8 bedrooms in total — a six-bedroom main house plus a separate two-bedroom apartment — along with a private garden and swimming pool.

Where is Casa Azul, and how far is the beach?

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.

Is there somewhere to work?

Yes — Casa Azul has dedicated workspace and a good rhythm for getting things done, which is part of why people come here for residencies alongside simple holidays.

Events & workshops

Can I book a workshop or event without staying overnight?

Not as a stand-alone booking at the moment — for now, workshops, dinners and gatherings happen alongside stays rather than as single-day events open to non-guests. We'd still like to hear your idea: Casa Azul's programme is a small, changing mix — some organised by us, some brought by the people who stay. Start a conversation and tell us what you have in mind.

Still have a question?

It's easiest to just ask.

Send us a message and we'll get back to you directly — no question is too small.
