About this property
Located in the heart of Rales de Llanes, just a short distance from some of the region's most beautiful beaches, Casa Cabra is a charming one-bedroom villa that is just perfect for a quiet break away from it all! Pretty and romantic, Casa Cabra is a single-storey property with a light, country-cottage style decor. The villa features a cosy well-lit living area with comfy sofas and a flat-screen TV - ideal for those quiet nights in with good company and a bottle of local wine. The kitchen/diner offers plenty of food preparation space and ample room to enjoy some good home cooking, along with all of the amenities you'll need during your stay, including an oven, ceramic hob, microwave and fridge-freezer.
Casa Cabra's double bedroom features the same fresh, neutral decor and peaceful vibe as the rest of the villa, making it the ideal room for rest and relaxation. The property also has a clean, well-appointed bathroom, and wherever you happen to be in the villa, you'll be treated to some of the most beautiful views in all of Asturias.
The garden of this adorable rural retreat is breathtakingly beautiful and is the sparkling jewel in Casa Cabra's crown. Expansive and well-tended, guests here can enjoy soft green lawns, beautiful flowers and plenty of space to sunbathe, read and relax. There is a stunning covered seating area, fully furnished and featuring a built-in barbecue - perfect for alfresco meals or for simply sitting and enjoying each other's company as the sun sets over the mountains in the distance.
Casa Carmen sits snugly within the small and quiet village of Rales de Llanes, which only has a population of around 150 people. This stunning rural location is close to some of the best hiking routes in Asturias, as well as spectacular beaches such as the surfer's paradise that is San Antolin. 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, 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 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!
