We are a family that lives in a beautiful village to 3 km Nava, Asturias. The beach is half an hour away by car and the mountain is 45 minutes away (Picos de Europa). There are buses and train in Nava that lead to Gijón and Oviedo.
We arrived here nine years ago and rebuilt ourselves the pretty house in which we live. We have a dog and a kitten and chickens and five geese. We have a small greenhouse and a vegetable garden.
We like to watch movies at night while we eat freshly made popcorn and we usually have breakfast with homemade sponge cake.
We love taking walks through the native forest in front of our house.

Juan Pablo was a kind person, very restetuoso and affectionate with my daughters.

Such a peacefull and incredible experience. Ana, Agustin and the two girls form a beautiful family. I'm really happy I decided to go live with them. Besides, Asturias is an amazing place, with lots of nature, delicius food and the perfect space to relax, read and even meditate.
