The Fifth in Barcenaciones

Located on a historic 18th-century estate in the heart of Cantabria, surrounded by nature and tranquility, we offer you the ideal space to organise your retreats, training sessions, events, or activities—whether private or corporate.

La Quinta Capilla de San Antonio consists of three historic 18th-century buildings and La Shala, a multipurpose space perfect for hosting training sessions, meetings, yoga or Pilates classes, dance, meditation, and more. The complex spans 2 hectares of land.

The main house, built around 1778, is a traditional Cantabrian manor house with imposing stone walls and majestic wooden beams. With a capacity to accommodate a total of 15–18 people, the house is spread over three floors and features eight bedrooms, each with a full en-suite bathroom and a work desk. It features 4 common areas spread across 3 floors, designed for group sessions or simply for quiet relaxation. LaQuinta also features a stately dining room where breakfast, lunch, or dinner can be served—and where all guests can even sit together, creating the perfect setting to foster moments of togetherness and camaraderie among the guests.

Outside, the house features a beautiful covered terrace overlooking the magnificent garden. The century-old garden is dominated by a 300-year-old Lebanese cedar, which is listed and protected by the region of Cantabria. Other magnificent specimens of oak and beech trees, as well as an impressive magnolia, undoubtedly contribute to making LaQuinta’s garden a magical and unique space that also offers hundreds of possibilities to our guests.

By stepping over the wall that borders the manor house’s garden, guests can access El Prado, a completely open 1-hectare field that features our Shala—a 70-square-meter open-concept space designed for all kinds of activities. In addition, the meadow is also home to our organic garden,
