The Experience

The house, built in 1887, gets the sun all day but in the early mornings there is often a sea of clouds beneath you: wonderful to have an early cup of tea in the garden and watch the mist disappear as the sun heats up. Breakfast is usually served in the dining room at separate tables and it’ll set you up for strenuous walking – freshly-squeezed oranges, home-baked cakes, semi-cured cheeses, sourdough bread, home-churned butter and homemade jams with seasonal fruit.

Take a book to the sitting room with a wood-burner for cooler days and lots of contemporary seating surrounded by paintings both modern and antique. Sleep in light and view-filled bedrooms with antique furniture and feather duvets, nothing should shatter your peace apart from early morning birdsong.

Hike in the Ponga and Redes Natural Parks, stride across the Picos; return to simple suppers of Salmorejo (traditional tomato and bread soup) anchovies with peppers, chorizo with cider, local cheeses.

Reviews

After a week in Madrid in July, our family of four (mum, dad, 21 & 18 year olds) were very happy to escape the heat to this most lovely mountain retreat. This is a beautiful house in an idyllic location with wonderful mountain views. Pedro was a stellar host, and has renovated the home to a delightfully high standard with stylish interiors, very comfortable beds, and interesting collected objects from his travels to admire. The food was excellent and beautifully presented and all requests me made were convivially accommodated. Perfect!

Casona de Indias was everything the Sawdays write-up indicated and more. Pedro kindly allowed us to charge our electric car which enabled us to explore the majestic Picos scenery with a quiet mind. The house is furnished to a very high standard and reflects its interesting history. Supper at the Casona might include homemade soup and superb local anchovies or a tasty burrata salad with tomatoes and strawberries followed by delicious tortilla. Pedro is the most considerate host, the loudest noise you will hear is cowbells and we felt privileged to stay in such a restful and beautiful place.

Pamela, Totnes

A true gem in Asturias region, what a privilege to discover Casona de Indias. Pedro provides guests and the property with so much attention to detail. The house conveys comfort and sunlight, a place to unwind in amazing nature and opens up many opportunities to explore this amazing region.

Location

The neighbourhood

You are over 12kms from the nearest village with shops, so walking, birdwatching and wild swimming in the nearby rivers and natural pools are peaceful. There is world class fly fishing in the river at Piloña and many good restaurants in the area. Asturias is famous for its apple cider and there are several local producers to visit. Find easy, signposted trails around the three Covadonga Lakes.

Local points of interest from Pedro Armas

  • Amazing birdwatching in the area. The Casona´s owner is a birdwatcher and will be delighted to recommend hot spots.
  • Breathtaking hiking tracks in the area with one National Park (Picos de Europa with Covadonga Sanctuary, the lakes and amazing villages) and two Natural parks (Redes and Ponga)
  • Sella River descent. Many adventure and outdoor activities companies offer renatl equipment to enjoy the river descent with the best conditions.
  • Cider Houses. The Casona is located in the Cider production area. Some of the main Cider houses offervery interesting guided visits to their premises and cider tasting.
  • Fishing villages such as Tazones, Lastres or Cudillero in which you could enjoy the best fish and seafood.
