Casa Rales

About this property

Casa Rales is a stunning three-bedroom, country-style villa situated in the beautiful Llanes region of Asturias along Spain’s northern coast. Accommodating up to six guests across two double bedrooms and one twin, this gorgeous property is bursting with rustic features and high-quality materials, including authentic exposed beams, wooden and tiled flooring, and a cosy fireplace.

The decor throughout is light and neutral, featuring beautifully crafted chestnut wood furniture, sprays of exposed stonework and comfortable soft furnishings, all of which radiate warmth and cosiness for a luxurious farmhouse aesthetic and feel. Each room is spacious and light, with stone arches leading from the living area to the dining room and to the well-equipped kitchen, creating a wonderful flow of energy throughout the villa. Casa Rales is perfectly suited for relaxed, family living with spaces for resting, dining and entertaining and bursting with modern features such as a flatscreen TV, WiFi, dishwasher, oven, microwave, coffee maker and a washing machine.

The first-floor corridor balcony offers guests the perfect spot for enjoying a morning cuppa while looking out over the lush lawns and to the mountain views beyond. The private garden is fully enclosed for privacy and peace of mind and features a pretty terrace, comfortable garden furniture and a barbecue area that lends itself perfectly to enjoying alfresco dining with the family in stunning surroundings.

Casa Rales enjoys a rural location and is situated close to some of the best hiking routes in Asturias. Spectacular beaches such as the surfer’s paradise that is San Antolin are just 3km away, and with 28 other beaches to be explored in the area of Llanes, you’re going to be spoilt for choice when it comes to finding a sandy hideaway!

In addition to fantastic beaches, the region is known for its dramatic landscapes, excellent food, and pre-romanesque architecture, and yet Asturias is often overlooked as a holiday destination in favour of the south. However,  if you’re searching for somewhere green and pleasant, with caves and forests to explore, nature reserves, good food (especially the cheese!) - and even better cider and wine - Asturias is the place to be.

On the coast, you’ll find plenty of opportunities to enjoy watersports such as surfing, water skiing 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 la Cuevona 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!
