One of the most impressive properties in the Spain Select villa collection. The house is located just five minutes from the charming market town of Villaviciosa, which with only 14,000 inhabitants and its close proximity to the sea is a wonderful base from which to explore the lush green province of Asturias. The town itself offers visitors a true taste of Asturian life, with its atmospheric old town, Romanesque churches and a number of stunning local beaches just a short drive away. The sweeping Playa de Rodiles, one of the best beaches in the province is just a 15 minute drive away. The countryside surrounding Villaviciosa is famous for its many apple orchards, and the local sidra (cider) produced here is famous throughout Spain for its distinctive fresh taste. Almost impossibly grand and offering a level of luxury that is hard to beat, this stunning converted palace is the perfect option for a large group of friends or family looking to enjoy an extra special holiday.
