El Gran Sueño

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Just back from 3.5 weeks in Portugal and Northern Spain and El Gran Sueno was one of the highlights of the trip! After several days in the hustle and bustle of Lisbon and Porto it was so nice to relax and recharge at El Gran Sueno.  It is located in a small hamlet that can be a bit challenging to find, but well worth the drive. Beautiful location and wonderful service from Dave and Javier, who both truly enjoy having guests. We stayed two nights in the Galeria room with large windows overlooking the countryside. The attention to design was very apparent, with the Pantone color swatches for

Simply the best! It is located in a small hamlet that can be a bit challenging to find, but well worth the drive. Beautiful location and wonderful service from Dave and Javier, who both truly enjoy having guests. The attention to design throughout the guesthouse was exceptional. Large bathroom with a wonderful shower and nice bath products. We were fortunate to enjoy two excellent dinners prepared by Dave and elegantly served by Javier. Breakfast was also very nice with homemade breads, cakes, jams, delicious local cheeses and a different artistically arranged fruit plate each morning!

We loved El Gran Sueno; a wonderful place to stay! The bedrooms are spacious, with large beds, top quality bed linen and all modern comforts. The bathrooms are very special with high class fittings and lovely toiletries. The whole house has been decorated beautifully and with great sympathy, the outside space is large with wonderful views of the Picos mountains. Nothing is too much trouble for Dave and Javier, they are truly gracious hosts and great company, (Carson too!!)! The food, both breakfast and dinner was sublime. This is a very special place and we will definitely return.

A truly special place.... the house is a beautiful and eclectic mix of vintage and modern style. Every piece of furniture is carefully chosen or restored. There are quirky artworks on the soft grey walls and breath-taking views of the mountains from every window. Comfort and luxury are at a premium, from the thoughtfully provided fluffy robes in the guest bathrooms, to the Bose speakers in the room, enormous comfortable beds, anti-mist mirrors, the complimentary bottle of wine ... I could go on forever ! The garden is wonderful, Dave's meals are mouth-watering and the owner are pure gentlemen!

We loved it here. The location is perfect with spectacular views to wake up to or just enjoy during the day and over a wonderful leisurely meal. The breakfasts and dinners are sensational and the room very comfortable for a great nights sleep. Dave and Javier were great all week and made sure we had any information or suggestions that would help us get the most out of this beautiful part of the world. Without doubt a place we will return to.

El Gran Sueño is indeed a special place to stay. The views alone are worth the journey but when you combine them with the stunning decor, charming and knowledgable hosts and delicious, organic food, this really becomes the perfect destination in a truly beautiful region. Top quality accommodation which provides a relaxing atmosphere, free of pretension but with every need anticipated - what more could you ask for! Highly recommended.

We loved it so much we stayed an extra night - charming knowledgeable hosts, lovely rooms, stunning views of the Picos de Europe, incredibly peaceful, 3/4 hours drive to mountains, beaches or cities (Oviedo & Gijon) good local hill walks and best of all delicious food - we ate in three nights out of four - and not forgetting the dog Carson!!
