The Experience

Find a slower pace of life here, exploring the green landscapes of Asturias from this beautifully calm and comfortable house.

Step out for good walks from the door, drive to the rugged Picos de Europa mountains, visit attractive regional capital Oviedo or the port of Gijón. Back at the villa, help yourself to tea and coffee in the snug, and borrow guidebooks, games and novels from the library.

Food is a real passion for your hosts: a sumptuous breakfast includes home-baked sourdough breads, cakes, home-made jams and local Asturian cheeses. Book for half board, or just opt for occasional dinners, so you can sample Dave’s superb three course menus, mostly organic and inspired by seasonal and local ingredients. Eat at your own table in the dining room, or in summer out in the lovely sunny garden.

Reviews

Julie and Catherine, Bridport, Dorset

El Gran Sueño is located in a beautiful rural area of Asturias. Dave and Javier deliver hospitality of the highest order in a beautiful and spotlessly clean country house. The bedrooms are extremely comfortable, the house itself is stylish and the garden offers space and amazing views. Breakfast is a feast of homemade and local produce. Dinner is of an exceptional quality - imaginative and superbly cooked by Dave and expertly presented by Javier. El Gran Sueño is an oasis of peace and calm and Dave and Javier are superb hosts with exceptional standards of customer care.


Cheryl, Ascain

It was so nice to be spoilt and pampered, Dave and Javier are such super hosts. Breakfast and Dinner all home made and served with finesse. Without hesitation I highly recommend El Gran Sueno such a lovely home, ideal place for relaxing and a good base to visit Asturias. A bientôt.


Penelle, Freedom, Maine, USA

My husband and I loved our time at El Gran Sueno. Four days of pure pleasure: comfortable, immaculate, imaginatively-created spaces; really delicious breakfasts and dinners, served 'just so'; stunning, invigorating hikes and drives; interesting, wide-ranging talks with Dave and Javier. Along with Carson, they were the best of hosts.


sarah, Greater manchester

This region of Spain is special. When you reach 'El gran sueño' it's breathtaking. Rooms are beautiful and stylish, very comfortable beds and spotless bathrooms. Breakfast in the quirky dining room or out on the patio with an amazing view of the 'picos de europa' what more can you ask for apart from the homemade sourdough and a different flavour jam and cheese everyday. Then a stunning 3 course meal in the evening, all locally produced and sourced, then cooked by Dave. The attention to detail by both hosts was second to none. Constantly perfecting their art. We felt like we'd visited friends.


Carol, Colchester

This is a very special place - quiet, beautiful and comfortable. Dave and Javier go out of their way to make their guests feel very welcome and at home. Javier has a wealth of knowledge about the area and can offer great suggestions for visiting lesser known places. Breakfasts and dinners are delicious, Dave is an excellent and knowledgeable chef who sources locally produced ingredients. Thank you Dave and Javier - your gran sueno is one of the best and memorable B&Bs in which we have ever stayed.


Location

The neighbourhood

You are in a quiet hamlet deep in rural Asturias, with beautiful walks from the house. Dave can show you routes, lend maps and you can follow directions via a mobile app to make navigation easy. Views towards dramatic mountain ranges from the garden might inspire you to visit - the Picos de Europa National Park is 45 minutes by car and El Sueve 25 minutes. To eat out, drive 10-15 minutes to Infiesto and try Pušáki's excellent tasting menu.

Local points of interest from Dave Haxby

  • Pintueles is a walker´s paradise and a typical Asturian village, with an 18th century church, a proud collection of hórreos, and home to the El Sidrón nature reserve. Stroll through forests, spot wild boar or deer, soaring eagles and wild flowers.
  • Asturian gastronomy is famed throughout Spain for its quality. Sample authentic foods in the collection of traditional sidrerías and chigres or treat your palate to the real deal in one of the 1 or 2-star Michelin restaurants close by.
  • An all-year-round extravaganza of traditional village festivals including: the Hazelnut Festival, craft & farmers markets, Easter parades & Infiesto´s very own Feria de Abril, a small, but equally entreating version of Sevilla´s most famous festival.
  • Romanesque churches of Santa María (Villamayor) and San Juan de Berbío (Infiesto) line a stretch of the Camino de Santiago for pilgrims walking in-land from Covadonga to Oviedo. Infiesto is also home to the Sanctuary of the Virgen de la Cueva.
  • Piloña is home to the rare ¨caballo Asturcón¨, a bread of horses native to the El Sueve Nature Reserve and Monte Cayón, where there is a picnic area with BBQs and walks through forests and hilltops offering impressive views of the Picos de Europa.

Introducing

Dave Haxby

Multilingual Javier, originally from nearby Gijón, was a language teacher in the UK, and Dave an IT solutions specialist. Together they took the leap to sell up, hunt for a house and redesign it for guests. Dave leads with flare in the kitchen, Javier looks after the rest immaculately, and has a host of local knowledge. Together they and their lovable dog Carson give guests a great welcome. They are passionate about Asturias and what they do.
