Property on beautiful seacliff. Beach downstairs

"When I look out from the large window, like an eagle from its nest, high above the sea, alone, I feel a great sense of freedom. I experience how sheltered I am spending a week in this house, breathing Asturias, enjoying the full range of weather, and finding in Julio's hospitality a great enrichment, in a 200-year old house whose history I would love to hear a little about, what it could tell me, but there isn't enough time, and I would have to come back. Perhaps in winter because that's when it's more beautiful, Julio says. Thank you very much." Günter N., May 2025.

Stand-alone stone house in a 2,000 sq.m. fully enclosed property situated in a quiet and nature-sorrounded 3-property cul-de-sac 25 meters above Arnao beach (Castrillón municipality) and very close to Salinas beach. The city of Avilés is 7 kms away and it takes half an hour to get either to Oviedo or to Gijón. There are big supermarkets and grocery shops1 mile from the house and being Asturias a culinary powerhouse, it's not surprise that in Salinas, also 1 mile from the house, there are 3 Michellin-star restaurants.

The property was originally built in the mid nineteenth century but has been recently fully restored and it is 80 meters from the beach. The property has 30 windows and 5 picture windows and no windowless rooms. It can confortabily accommodate 8 adults and a baby in a cot. Weekly housekeeping included. Beach towels always provided. Not recommended for lower-limb disable persons. Beach towels included. Free unlimited wifi and a 43" Smart TV in the loft upstairs.

This property is on a spectacular seacliff with 4 terraces facing the sea. The first terrace has direct access to the street, a nice garden, the main house, an additional lodge, and two places particularly panoramic: a viewpoint facing east and another one facing north which has a large table, ideal for outdoor meals. The second terrace has another garden and the sauna house. The third one is the largest garden in the property with 4 sunbeds and a corner bench for 6 persons facing north and with great views. Finally, the forth terrace is a bit wilder and has two comfortable deck chairs. Probably this is the most special place in the whole property. Right above there is a gate to access the highest part of the Northern Trail, a lane with breathtaking views.

Garden only wooden furniture: 4 sunbeds, 1 large table, 4 low tables, 3 benches, 3 armchairs and 10 folding chairs. There is an outdoor shower, 10 outdoor lamps and a BBQ. Coal and firing tablets provided.

Children. When necessary we place a safety gate on top of the stairs and we block 4 lower windows upstairs -there are still 7 windows left. We offer special mattresses' covers for small children, a well-equipped cot and a high chair free of charge.

Colder weather and stronger winds in winter are not a problem as the house is perfectly isolated and desired temperature can be set in each room.

Languages. The house manager speaks Spanish, English, German and French.

Library: 200+ books in Spanish, English, German, French and Italian.

Arnao beach -downstairs from the house- is very popular among surfers and more so Salinas beach only 2 kms away. We would highlight the nearby Arnao beach to Bayas beach sea trail as being one the most beautiful in Asturias, and the Arnao beach coral fossil reef as one of the best areas in the world to enjoy sea wildlife from the Devonian period (420-360 million years ago).

16 beaches in Asturias have been awarded a Blue Flag by the Foundation for Environmental Education (FEE) and Arnao beach is one of them. The Blue Flag eco-label is a certification that a beach meets its 29 stringent standards. These include standards for quality, safety, environmental education and information, the provision of services and general environmental management criteria.

Asturias airport is 10 minutes away. Nevertheless, planes are not heard nor seen from the house.
