Nestled in the foothills of the Picos de Europa mountains, this rural retreat offers views in every direction. The setting is the definition of idyllic – a panoramic terrace is perfect for alfresco dining, a small pathway in the garden leads to the River Zardon, and clear skies make stargazing a breeze. You'll also find a six-person outdoor sauna and a cosy living space for indoor hangouts. Location-wise, it's just a thirty-minute drive to the beaches of Vega, Niembru, and Torimbia. Cangas de Onis and the famous Sunday Market are driveable in twenty – though if you prefer to stay home, soaking up the scenery, we don't blame you.

About Spain

Sultry summer nights pulsing with flamenco, tapas bars in buzzing cities, a rugged interior, and a sparkling coast dotted with sandy beaches. This is Spain.
