About this property
Casa Pereda is a stunning three-bedroom villa situated in idyllic rural surroundings in Llanes, just 4km from the stunning Asturian coast. Accommodating up to six guests over two storeys, this traditional-style holiday home really stands out from the crowd with its bright exterior paintwork and exposed stone and offers everything you’ll need to enjoy a relaxing and memorable stay. The interior of the villa is spacious, light and airy, featuring a light, fresh colour palette throughout, beautiful tiled flooring, rich wooden accents, and comfortable soft furnishings.
On the ground floor, you’ll find an inviting lounge/diner with sumptuous sofas, a cosy fireplace and a TV - the perfect space for taking some time out after a busy day. There’s ample dining space for you and your guests, and from here, you have direct access to Casa Pereda’s porch area, an ideal spot for enjoying after-dinner drinks or a morning cuppa as you take in the stunning surroundings.
The villa features a charming, well-equipped kitchen that has all the appliances you’ll need to prepare meals for the whole family during your stay. You’ll also find a washing machine and tumble dryer, meaning that you can pack light and save some extra room in your case for all those souvenirs. There’s also a bathroom on the ground floor - a welcome addition when everyone’s trying to get ready at the same time in the mornings!
Casa Pereda has three double bedrooms on the first floor; two with a double bed and one with a trundle bed (which would be perfect for the kids). The main bedroom has an ensuite, with the other two rooms sharing a full bathroom, and all feature the same light, modern decor and stylish furnishings.
You’re sure to be impressed by the villa’s huge fenced garden, which offers guests plenty of space in which to relax and entertain. Here you’ll find lush, well-tended lawns, a stylish alfresco dining area with a built-in barbecue, comfortable garden furniture, and even a small children’s play area. Guests here are sure to enjoy reclining in the sunshine with a good book, indulging in some fun family games, or simply laying back and taking in the stunning mountain views.
Casa Pereda is situated in the small village of La Pereda in Llanes, a region of Asturias situated between Galicia and Cantabria along Spain's northern coast. Known for its dramatic landscapes, beautiful beaches, excellent food, and pre-romanesque architecture, Asturias is often overlooked as a holiday destination in favour of the south. But, if you're searching for somewhere green and pleasant, with ocean views, nature reserves, good food (especially the cheese!) - and even better cider and wine - Asturias is the place to be.
One of the top attractions in Llanes is Playa de Gulpiyuri, the beach without a sea - in fact, it is situated over 100m from the Cantabrian Sea. Often referred to as the 'world's smallest beach', this tiny, picturesque 40m stretch of golden sand is also often voted Asturias' best beach. Gulpiyuri (meaning 'water circle') is a natural monument surrounded by cliffs and featuring crystal clear waters. It is actually a flooded sinkhole whose water levels are entirely dependent on the tide, but mostly remain at knee height, making it popular with those who want to paddle rather than swim or who are visiting with young children.
Another beach that is popular with families is Cuevas del Mar (caves of the sea), which features milky-white sands, crystal clear waters and huge, piercing rock formations. This beautiful beach offers visitors a stunning landscape and good amenities, including plenty of nearby places to eat and drink, showers, toilets and good parking. There are lifeguards on duty here for extra peace of mind, but bathing here is relatively safe, with the gradual water depth and natural protection from the elements making it popular with those travelling with children.
Wherever you are on the coast of Asturias, you'll find plenty of opportunities to enjoy watersports such as surfing, waterskiing and wakeboarding, as well as scuba diving and snorkelling - but if you fancy travelling further inland, you'll discover even more activities to enjoy. Quadbiking and canyoning are popular pastimes with tourists here, as are hiking and horse riding.
Be sure to immerse yourself in the Asturian culture during your stay by enjoying the many fiestas that are celebrated in Llanes and the surrounding areas, where the townspeople don traditional costumes and enjoy folk dancing and music. With gastronomic festivals as well as religious fiestas taking place in the region, Llanes is a fantastic place for sampling some Asturian cuisine which is often rich in seafood, including squid, crab, lobster, mullet, scorpionfish, and anchovies. Cheese is also a staple of the region's cooking, with soft creamy queso de Vidiago, smoked Ahumado de Pria, and delicious goat's cheeses such as la Cuevona, all forming part of the delicious recipes that have been passed down from generation to generation. Be sure to sample some Fabada while you're here (a cassoulet-type stew), as well as tortos served with picadillo and fried eggs - and make sure you wash it all down with a glass of local cider poured from a great height in the traditional way!
