5 Bedroom house, garden, barbecue, WIFI, games room, 0.9 miles from the beach

A fantastic house that allowed us to relax and enjoy a superb holiday in Asturias. Ana, who manages the house for her mother, was very helpful and was able to help us with anything we needed during our stay. This also included a welcome gift of local produce and Ana's superb rice pudding The house was perfect for our needs with 6 bedrooms, one of which was a virtually self contained flat in the attic which was absolutely perfect for our teenage daughter. The house was immaculate and well equipped with every utensil we needed. There was a fabulous games room we all enjoyed, a huge garden with plenty of garden furniture, a barbecue area and swinging seats. The location was ideal for exploring the coastal area, with two local beaches within easy reach and others fairly close. Cudillero is only 10 minutes drive away with a supermarket just off the motorway. Highly recommended!!

This beautiful spacious and well-equipped villa provides an excellent base from which to explore the fascinating Asturias region of northern Spain. Getting there is easy – we flew with easyJet direct from Stansted Airport to Asturias Airport, from where it is a 25’ straightforward drive to the property. The owner (Ana) could not have been more helpful, from the very first contact through to taking a personal but not at all obtrusive interest during our stay that everything was to our satisfaction. The house itself is comfortable, exceptionally clean and well-equipped, blending modern conveniences and facilities (including wifi access throughout, dishwasher, large fridge, washing machine, TV with all UK Freesat channels, etc.) with an old world charm. It easily accommodated our party of six adults and one toddler (cot provided). We particularly enjoyed the large and attractive garden, with sheep in the field next door providing endless fascination for the toddler, and the well-equipped games room where pool, table tennis and table football kept us occupied during the occasional rain showers. There is plenty to do in exploring the Asturias region. It is relatively undiscovered in terms of mass tourism (some of our party had a basic knowledge of Spanish which was helpful), but has much to offer. The coastline is spectacular, with its many secluded bays and beaches surrounded by cliffs and forests. The nearest beach is about a 30’ walk from the villa through a forest park. Further along the coast the resort of Salinas is a great place to surf. The nearest cities are Oviedo (with its spectacular cathedral and ‘big city’ shops) and Aviles (with its impressive Centro Cultural Internacional designed by Oscar Niemeyer) both well worth a visit. The region is rich in agriculture, with most of the shops including supermarkets stocking a variety of local produce. We particularly enjoyed the bread, cheese, cider and ‘Arroz con Leche’ (rice pudding). All in all, this is the perfect place for a family holiday, especially where there are a range of ages involved. There is plenty to see and do nearby or further afield, or you can simply ‘stay at home’ and enjoy the beautiful villa and its facilities.
