About this chalet rental
Villa Playa de Barro is located in one of the most picturesque spots on the Asturian coast, in Barro (Llanes)—where the sea and the mountains truly meet. The beach at Barro is just 150 meters away, and a short drive will take you to the beaches of Niembro, Torimbia, and Celorio, each with its own unique character. Inland, the Sierra del Cuera rises directly behind the coastline, and the Picos de Europa — Spain’s first National Park — are only a 25-minute drive away.
This detached, two-story house comfortably sleeps 8 across 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms, with 210 m² of usable space. The first floor features a 30 m² living room with a fireplace, a fully equipped kitchen spanning over 20 m², a double bedroom with its own en-suite bathroom and a dedicated work area, a separate guest restroom, and a covered outdoor porch. Upstairs, two spacious terraces lead off from three additional bedrooms—including a north-facing room with ocean views, where you can hear and smell the ocean. Outside, a well-maintained 450 m² garden offers private parking and plenty of space to relax.
Beyond the coastline, this part of Asturias is best explored at a leisurely pace: the historic towns of Llanes, Ribadesella, and Cangas de Onís are all less than an hour away; the Lakes of Covadonga are about an hour away; and both Gijón and Oviedo are less than an hour away by car. Asturias Airport is about 1 hour and 10 minutes away.
Villa Playa de Barro is ideal for families who want to fully experience Green Spain — its beaches, mountains, and countryside — as well as guests planning a longer stay, whether for remote work, a sabbatical, or simply a slower-paced vacation by the sea.
THE HOUSE, ROOM BY ROOM
Living Room
A 32 m² living room with a fireplace, a built-in dining area for 8, and sofas for the whole family — the heart of the house, perfect for long conversations, movies, and reading on cooler days.
Kitchen
Over 20 m² of fully equipped kitchen space, featuring its own everyday table for casual meals.
Ground-floor double bedroom
An accessible double bedroom on the first floor, with a full en-suite bathroom and a dedicated desk area—ideal for guests who want to combine their stay with remote work, or for anyone who prefers not to use the stairs.
Ground-floor guest toilet
A separate guest toilet on the first floor, next to the living room—convenient for visitors who don’t need to use the bedroom bathrooms.
Suite bathroom (first floor)
En-suite bathroom with a double sink, a corner bathtub, and a separate shower.
Covered porch
A covered porch with a table and sofa area, perfect for outdoor meals in any weather.
Garden
A private 450 m² garden, with plenty of room for the children to play, and just as good for the adults to relax on the lounge chairs and enjoy the peace and quiet.
Upstairs bedroom
A very picturesque bedroom, featuring a built-in closet, plenty of natural light, and its own terrace.
Sea-view bedroom (upper floor)
Where the sea and the beaches meet: a double bedroom with its own north-facing terrace, where you can hear and smell the sea.
Bunk bedroom
A children’s room with bunk beds and a trundle bed, decorated especially for the little ones.
Upstairs bathroom
A full bathroom with a bathtub, shared by the three upstairs bedrooms.
THE AREA: BEACHES, MOUNTAINS, AND MORE
Barro is situated right between three of the most charming villages along this stretch of coast—Niembro and Celorio are both just a short walk or bike ride away, with the house located almost exactly halfway between them.
Nearby beaches:
- Barro Beach — 150 meters from the house, on foot
- Niembro Beach (Torimbia)—a quieter, less crowded cove just a few minutes away across the estuary
- Celorio and Borizu beaches, also just a few minutes away
Mountains and nature:
- Picos de Europa — Spain’s first national park, just a 25-minute drive away. Hiking trails for every skill level, the Fuente Dé aerial cableway, and high-mountain scenery right by the sea—a rare combination in the Cantabrian Mountains.
- Covadonga Lakes (Lake Enol and Lake Ercina) — located within the National Park itself, about 1 hour and 5 minutes away. One of Asturias’ most popular excursions (arrive early during peak season, as vehicle access is restricted).
- The Sierra del Cuera rises directly behind the coastline and is visible from the beach itself.
Towns worth visiting:
- Llanes — the nearest historic town, with its harbor, the San Pedro cliffside walk, and the colorful “Cubos de la Memoria” painted by Ibarrola. About 5 minutes away.
- Cangas de Onís — the former capital of the Kingdom of Asturias, known for its Roman bridge over the Sella River. A good base for exploring the Covadonga Lakes and experiencing the local cider culture. About 50 minutes away.
- Ribadesella — a seaside town with a wide beach at the mouth of the Sella River, prehistoric caves featuring rock art, and the famous canoe race held every August. About 30 minutes away.
Cities and airport:
- Gijón — about 50 minutes by car
- Oviedo — about 55 minutes by car
- Asturias Airport — about 1 hour and 10 minutes by car
Whether you’re here for a week of beaches and hiking, or a longer stay to truly unwind, Villa Playa de Barro puts the best of “Green Spain” within easy reach — without ever being far from home.
