Old mill turned into a charming cabin.

Excellent location, beautiful and huge, well-kept garden. The house is charming with a relatively small and basic living space-kitchen, although in summer one will be outside anyways. There is also an outside kitchen. Two nice sleeping rooms. Highly recommended!

This property is better than words can say. Private plot over 500ft long. No neighbours. Modern reconstruction of ancient flour mill. Beatifully done, thoughtful touches like fly-screens on every opening window and quality fittings throughout. Wonderful hosts: prompt at initial rendezvous (important as house very secluded), floral arrangement in house on arrival, as were bottles of sidra, red wine as well as a dish of walnuts and hazel nuts, all for our enjoyment. Crockery, cutlery and glass-ware all in lovely matching sets - not junk from a dead aunt's clear-out like it is in so many places! Extensive grounds are immaculate, flanked by a stream and surrounded by woodland. Incredibly peaceful, not to be spoiled by tv or wi-fi. The perfect idyll from which to escape normal life. Come here, and let your heart sing again.

What a beautiful location! We were very happy to stay here! In sunny weather, sitting outside was just heavenly. It is clear that the owners take great care of this place. We were visiting late in the season so this may have some bearing on the following comment. The house was musty, particularly the second bedroom we did not use. Also ants were everywhere so we had to be extra vigilant with food storage. I imagine this was why there were no seasonings (not even salt) and we had to buy all those staples in Cangas. Everywhere else we stayed/rented provided the basics provided, so this stood out as something different. Not a major problem - just something to be aware of/prepare for! That said, we really loved the place, and the owners were helpful and friendly.

Very cute and comfortable house in a fantastic garden. Essentially you have your own valley, carved by the (nowadays) small river that runs towards the larger river Sella. Driving to and from the property is a little adventerous, the last bit of road is quite narrow between stone walls. But that's really just a short bit and Cangas the Onis is not far (5-10 min. drive, depending on the density of hikers and dog walkers on the path). Walking to the center of Cangas de Onis took us closer to 30 min (instead of the 15 min mentioned in other reviews, that must be the distance to the outskirts). The location is perfect, though, to reach both the mountains and the sea, although really, the best thing to do is to relax in the fabulous garden! We will definitely try to be back.

We have had a beautiful holiday! The house is very quiet and the only thing you hear (and see) are birds... And there are a lot of them! We also saw a dear, a polecat or musteline, a blind-worm and a lot of lizards, butterflies and beetles in our big garden. The house is next to the forest, so... The rest of the day we went for beautiful walks (the weather was perfect: not too hot and not too cold) or we went to a river nearby or to a beach (just 30 minutes away) for a nice swim. Cangas de Onis is 3 minutes by car or 15 minutes walk; you can shop there or have a nice dinner in one of the many restaurants. We also enjoyed the canoe (a little bit busy in the river but ok). Every evening we cooked outside; sometimes with a little campfire made by the children to sit around. The couple who rents the apartment is very helpfull with everything; thanks a lot for the perfect holiday. So... if you like nature.... just book! :) :)

This is an amazing, quiet retreat, set in a large woodland garden. It is a fifteen minute walk into Gangas de Onis and only five minutes into the hamlet of Villanueva. We breakfasted off wild strawberries and raspberries from the garden, amid the rich wildlife; including a male robin raising a cuckoo! For those who like walking there is a terrific choice available, starting from the gate and extending into the high Picos. Not having a car we thoroughly enjoyed exploring the local area on foot and using public transport for wider adventures. The cottage was spotless and well cared for. The BBQ is really an outdoor kitchen, which we really appreciated for long lazy evening feasts. And when you don't want to cook Cangas de Onis with its wide array of eateries and sidra pourers is around the corner. Like fish? Find La Cueva behind Tourist Information. This was our first visit to this part of Spain and could not have found a better place to stay. The owners really did make the place feel like a home from home. Could anything be improved? Only by being there right now! Gracias Luis. Gracias Mirian.
