    Description

    We live in a rural mountain area in North Spain, on a small cattle farm near the Picos de Europa National Park and 15 min from the beautifull Llanes beaches.
    We have four children but only our two daughters (24 and 14 yo) Live at home. Our two sons work and study away and come to visit some weekends.

    The farm has cows, sheep, goats, horses, hens and ducks, mainly for self supply. We have also got a vegetable garden.

    We can offer housing, meals and a car to use sometimes while your stay with us. We also have lots of fun activities to do during free time such as hike, going to the beach, etc.

  • What else ...

    What else ...

    We live in the middle of the countryside. The house is almost at the end of a small road in the top of a mountain and it's 2km away from the nearest small town, called Villa de Caldueñu. For this reason, we offer the possibility to use one of the family cars if available.
    The nearest town with shops, supermarket, pharmacy, etc is 15km away from the house in Posada de Llanes.
    Our place is very nice, calm and peaceful. It's near a small forest and you can walk around different paths with beautiful views.
