Casa Pinta, a palace with history written on its façade in Cantabria
Description
In Guriezo, Cantabria, Casa Pinta retains the stately character of the palaces of its era, with stone façades, coats of arms and an estate of approximately 20,000 m² that connects it to the surrounding valley.
Also known as the Palacio de Machín, local historical accounts date its construction to two phases, in 1752 and 1785, and record that it belonged to Don Juan Antonio Machín in 1772. Its familiar name tells another part of its story: the paintings of botanical and geometric motifs that once adorned its façades.
With 865 m² of built area arranged over three floors, the property requires comprehensive restoration. The scale and presence of the building, together with the generous grounds, provide a starting point for restoring its architecture and adapting its spaces to new uses.
One of the possibilities envisaged is its conversion into a boutique hotel, with a proposal for approximately nine suites and shared spaces that make the most of the palace’s character. Such a project could bring together heritage, design and hospitality within the Cantabrian landscape, subject to the development of the project and the necessary approvals.
Layout
The building comprises a ground floor, a main floor and an attic level. The current listing records nine bedrooms and three bathrooms, with scope to reconsider the layout as part of the restoration project.
The hotel proposal envisages approximately nine suites, with reception, lounges, a library and gathering spaces on the main floor. These spaces form part of a proposed conversion and do not describe a hotel currently in operation.
Outside, the property has a garden, porch, terrace and balconies, as well as a garage and storage space. The grounds and views of the surrounding countryside complete the palace’s connection to its setting.

Guriezo lies in eastern Cantabria, in the Agüera river valley, surrounded by mountains, woodland and meadows. Its proximity to Castro Urdiales, Laredo and the coast combines a rural setting with access to services and connections to Bilbao and Santander.
The property has an open relationship with the surrounding landscape. The precise orientation of its rooms should be verified to determine how natural light can best be used in the restoration project.
Casa Pinta’s identity can be seen in its stately architecture, stone façades and surviving coats of arms. Its name preserves the memory of its painted decoration, while its association with Juan Antonio Machín places the house within the history of the valley during the 18th century.
The combination of a historic building and an estate of approximately two hectares offers the opportunity to approach architecture and landscape together in the restoration.
The property requires comprehensive restoration. Any intervention should begin with a technical survey of the building to establish its condition, the elements to be preserved and the requirements for adapting it to the intended use.
Conversion into a boutique hotel is one of the possibilities envisaged for the property. Its viability will depend on the necessary approvals, the investment required for restoration and a market and operating feasibility study. The information available does not support a specific projected return.
