El Gran Sueño

El Gran Sueño is a refuge, a sanctuary of beauty, a retreat for anyone who wants to escape a world of IKEA, fast food, and concrete. Javier and Dave are the most attentive and tasteful hosts we have ever met. Everything is aesthetically harmonious, the culinary delights well-considered and well-maintained. The house is filled with aromas and airy music, the bread is homemade; we spent wonderful days there. The house is located in a small hamlet in Asturias, in the central plateau between the sea and the Picos de Europa. So, if you want to see the highlights, you have to drive. If you only want

EL Gran Sueño is a most beautiful country hotel. Located in a peaceful hamlet with amazing views. The bedroom we stayed in (Jardin) was delightful with a large bathroom room with lovely toiletries. Nothing is too much trouble for Dave and Javier, they are excellent hosts. We enjoyed the delicious breakfasts of local produce, Dave’s sourdough is the best I’ve ever tasted. Dinner was wonderful, lovingly prepared by Dave and in a delightful setting. I cannot recommend it highly enough. Our stay was so relaxing and most definitely the best place we stayed in during our 4 week trip. We would love

El Gran Sueño is a delight. Our room was elegant and comfortable as were the dining room and lounge areas and all very well maintained. The location is peaceful and there are stunning views of the mountains. Javier and Dave are excellent hosts, friendly helpful and informative. We very much enjoyed the food which is very fresh and locally sourced and Dave's evening meals were delicious, a labour of love. We hope to return soon.

Dave and Javier were very welcoming and knowledgeable on the local area. Our butlers Carson and Franklin were very friendly dogs and we enjoyed their company relaxing in the garden. The hotel was exceptionally clean and tidy and the mountain view from our balcony room were breathtaking! Breakfast was served every morning with home made sourdough bread, the effort and care put into the cooking made the food that extra bit delicious. I enjoyed my book to the sound of cowbells and birds and the natural beauty around the house. Overall our stay was relaxing and care free. Thanks to Javi and Dave!

In honesty I couldn't have been happier with my stay. The room (jardin) was glorious, the food was excellent, the views and walks around the property are sublime and Javier and Dave (who are lovely) work tirelessly away in the background making everything special. You would have to sentence me to life imprisonment to stop me going back.
