The house

A real stone house in a real hamlet

Stay at Casa Llenín and you are 15 minutes from one of the most extraordinary corners of Europe, and a world away from ordinary. You rent the whole house, never a room in it.

Entire stone house

A two-hundred-year-old sheep barn, restored and yours alone. Two double bedrooms, a masonry wood stove, and a kitchen made for long dinners.

Asturian countryside

Llenín is a farming hamlet of twenty people. Cowbells in the fields, birdsong in the morning, and a view across the valley to the peaks.

15 min from Covadonga

The pink basilica, the holy cave and the road up to the glacial lakes of the Picos de Europa are a short drive from the door.

A day from here

Coffee on the balcony. Covadonga by ten. Fabada by two.

Mornings start with bells in the fields and Peña Santa catching the first light. Drive fifteen minutes and the pink basilica of Covadonga rises above the oak forest. Go on up to the lakes, or turn back for the Sunday market in Cangas, where the Cabrales is sold by the people who made it.

Lunch is a sidrería: cider poured from arm's height, a chuleta from the wood fire. The afternoon is a cove on the Cantabrian coast, or a book on the west terrace while the sun goes down over the valley.
