About Asturias
Characterised by dramatic mountains, a wild coastline bordered by verdant hills, craggy cliffs and golden sands, Asturias is a beautiful part of northwestern Spain. Proudly referred to as the ‘real’ Spain by many locals, this beautiful region has long been a favourite of outdoorsy explorers and nature lovers. It’s also a foodie hotspot, and many of the wonderful hotels and guesthouses dotted throughout the Asturian countryside boast fantastic restaurants. Whether you’re dreaming of a seaside break or a rural escape, our pick of the best places to stay in Asturias has it all.
The region’s capital, historic Oviedo is wonderfully walkable, and brilliant for guided heritage tours. The old centre, studded with ancient landmarks, is lovely. The Archaeological Museum of Asturias, Basilica of San Julián de los Prados and the Museo de Bellas Artes are not to be missed. Foodies, too, will delight in lively markets and fresh produce sourced from Asturias’ verdant fields and sparkling seas. For a buzzy port city with its own blend of food and culture, look to Avilés.
If you’re dreaming of escaping to a charming little beach town, make your way to Ribadesella, Llanes or Cudillero. These are great spots for swimming, surfing, sailing and fishing. Clifftop coastal walks, too, can very special. Venture inland for treks, horse rides and mountain biking excursions in the rocky Picos de Europa mountains. Many of the best places to stay in Asturias will be happy to point guests towards artisanal farms producing more than 100 types of cheese, or the breweries which craft the region’s famously flavoursome apple cider.
For Seaside Style
- Hotel Villa Rosario, built in 1914, is a whimsical seafront hotel in Ribadesella with sleek contemporary interiors. Guest rooms are done in white, cream and grey, with crisp linens and L'Occitane bath products — the best have ocean views. Savour big breakfasts on the terrace; the restaurant is open during the summer months. Very romantic.
- Torre de Villademoros is a beautiful 18th Century country house cleverly converted into a small, modern hotel. Here you have the best of both worlds, with views of the coastline on one side and the forest on the other. The garden is rambling and the cuisine regional, local and generous.
- Hotel Pleamar sits just above the sea in Puerto de Vega, promising striking views from its rooms and sun terrace. A family-run hotel with exposed brickwork, wooden beams and a nautical theme. Kick off the day with hearty breakfasts before you wander down to the beach.
- Hotel Rural 3 Cabos is a contemporary spot on a hilltop overlooking the ocean near Valdés. Set partly in a converted farm building, the nine modern rooms have big beds, original artwork and views of the sea and the verdant mountains. Delicious dishes are created using organic produce from the kitchen garden.
FOR A RURAL Escape
- Casa La Calma is an inviting rural B&B with just six guest rooms. Clad in white and cream tones, interiors are smart and simple. Set between Ribadesella and the mountains, it's well-placed for beach days or hiking excursions, and the soothing spa is ideal for unwinding. Also very affordable.
- La Posada de Babel offers a collection of studios and cottages in leafy grounds close to Llanes, perfect for a relaxed holiday as a couple or with friends and family. Spaces feature contemporary photography, large windows with garden views and a minimalist mid-century aesthetic. Friendly and laid-back.
- El Habana Llanes, also set within verdant gardens between the ocean and the mountains, has the more classic feel of an Asturian country house, with patterned fabrics and terracotta-tiled floors. A welcoming choice with a refreshing swimming pool and quaint dining room. One for romantic couples.
- El Gran Sueno, a fantastic adults-only boutique B&B in the countryside, has just five rooms. Chic interiors are spacious and stylish, many with terraces and panoramic views. Tuck into freshly baked bread, artisanal cheese and freshly squeezed orange juice at breakfast, or speak to the owners about convivial table d'hôtes dinners.
- La Casona del Viajante is another adults-only favourite, in a rural location between Oviedo and Cangas de Onís. A lovely 1930s property, the hotel has mosaic floors, exposed beams and stained glass windows set within a dusky pink façade.
FOR HERITAGE CHARM
- Parador de Cangas de Onís, a former monastery on the banks of the Sella River in Cangas de Onís, has been transformed into an elegant heritage hotel. Rooms are chic and understated, with stone floors and dark wooden furnishings. Impressive shared spaces have beamed wooden ceilings and exposed stone walls. A romantic choice for history buffs.
- Casona De La Paca is a beautiful historic manor house set in landscaped gardens. Pick this place for a sense of traditional Asturian hospitality with modern touches in spacious rooms and suites. Expect generous breakfasts in the dining room and crackling fires in the sitting room each evening. Warm and welcoming.
- Palacio de Cutre, a restored 16th Century mansion overlooking the Picos de Europa, has 18 traditional rooms, including two family suites. Stay here for the old-fashioned interiors and the sense of timeless charm. The restaurant specialises in delicious Asturian cuisine.
- Parador de Corias, named as one of Spain's National Historical-Artistic Monuments, was built in the 11th Century. A former Benedictine Monastery, the hotel fuses contemporary elegance with its collection of timeless antiques, statues and objets d'art. Step into the basem*nt to see the archaeological remains of the monastery. Very special.
FOR LUXURY
- Hotel de la Reconquista promises an enormously five-star opulent stay in a 1752-built National Monument in Oviedo. Sensitively restored, the hotel has 142 sumptuous rooms and suites with draped four-posters, private terraces and rich textiles. Fabulous.
- Hotel Castillo del Bosque la Zoreda is a lovely historic property, nestled in the Asturian countryside just beyond Oviedo. A romantic retreat, it features chic, white-on-white guest rooms, a fantastic restaurant and a swish bar. For well-heeled lovers of luxury.
- Palacio de Luces is a gorgeous rural retreat, set in a palatial 16th-century residence. Expect elegant interiors clad in soft blues and greens, with botanical prints and idyllic garden views. The indoor pool and sauna are superb, as is the gourmet restaurant. A luxurious escape, just a short drive from the beach.
- Puebloastur has elegant interiors with cream-coloured textiles and an impressive art collection in two farmhouse-style buildings. An indulgent spa, fabulous cuisine and landscaped gardens with an infinity pool complete the picture.
For Great Value
- Hotel Don Pedro offers cosy, traditional rooms in the heart of Avilés’ old town. The small onsite restaurant specialises in local cuisine, and there are Asturian beers to sip and savour in the sunshine. An affordable base with a friendly feel.
- Hotel Fruela is an attractive little boutique hotel in the centre of Oviedo. Clad in black, white and pale wood, the 30 smart, contemporary rooms will appeal to both business or leisure travellers. Enjoy buffet breakfasts and access to the spa across the road. Affordable and well-placed for exploring.
- La Corte de Lugas has ten traditional rooms and suites tucked within a typical Asturian farmhouse. Pick this place for the reasonable rates and the hearty local cuisine. A tranquil rural spot for heritage buffs.
