La Concha Spain
Holiday Home Rental Description
Nestled in the charming coastal village of Nueva in the stunning province of Llanes in Asturias stands La Concha, a single-storey, three-bedroom villa that can accommodate up to eight guests. Surrounded by mountains and lush green vegetation, La Concha offers guests a relaxed and idyllic setting, all within easy distance of restaurants, bars, and some of the most stunning beaches on the Asturias coast.
La Concha features a cool and stylish interior, with fresh cream and white decor throughout. The living area is punctuated by accents of black and shades of white and grey, with cosy recliner sofas, soft rugs and cushions, and chunky wooden furniture. The addition of lush houseplants and a handsome fireplace create a warm, home-from-home vibe, and there is a flat-screen Smart TV for evenings when you just want to chill out and relax. La Concha’s separate dining room has a modern-style dining table that seats up to six guests and features a trendy bar area complete with stools – perfect for enjoying after-dinner drinks with friends.
The villa’s kitchen is large and well-equipped with everything you’ll need to prepare meals for you and your guests during your stay, including plenty of food preparation space, stylish wooden storage cabinets, high-end appliances, crockery and glassware. La Concha also benefits from a cosy conservatory/summer room that looks out over the beautiful gardens and offers extra seating for mealtimes, as well as the ideal space to relax with a good book or a morning cuppa.
La Concha’s bedrooms are also light and airy, with characterful decor, pretty soft furnishings, and built-in wardrobes. Two double rooms and one twin are great for those travelling with children! Two extra beds are available on request for larger groups.It is perhaps the large, enclosed garden that is the jewel in La Concha’s crown, with its swings, slides, trampoline, and small football field creating the perfect space for kids. The vast lawn area offers the ideal sunbathing spot, and mature trees offer plenty of shaded areas for relaxing out of the hot sun. A covered outdoor dining area and built-in barbecue will make alfresco meals a delight and lends themselves perfectly to busy family breakfasts and cosy evening conversation under the stars.La Concha is located in the village of Nueva in Llanes, a region of Asturias situated between Galicia and Cantabria along Spain’s northern coast. Known for its dramatic landscapes, beautiful beaches, excellent food, and pre-romanesque architecture, Asturias is often overlooked as a holiday destination in favour of the south. But, if you’re searching for somewhere green and pleasant, with ocean views, nature reserves, good food (especially the cheese!) – and even better cider and wine – Asturias is the place to be.
The coastal town of Nueva in the east of Asturias is less than 2km away from Cuevas del Mar beach and San Antonio beach, both of which are considered among the best beaches in the region. Featuring milky-white sands, crystal clear waters and huge, piercing rock formations that reveal caves and tunnels, Cuevas del Mar (caves of the sea) offers visitors a stunning landscape and good amenities, including plenty of nearby places to eat and drink, showers, toilets and good parking. There are lifeguards on duty here for extra peace of mind, but bathing here is relatively safe, with the gradual water depth and natural protection from the elements making it popular with families.
San Antonio beach is separated from Cuevas del Mar by San Antonio Point and is a smaller cove featuring white sands and a moderate swell. Also sheltered from the elements and a lot less crowded than Cuevas del Mar, this lagoon-shaped stretch of sand has increased in popularity over the years and is the perfect spot for relaxing with a good book or simply taking in the views while the kids paddle in the azure of the Mediterranean.
With around 29 stunning beaches in the area, you’ll find plenty of opportunities to enjoy watersports such as surfing, waterskiing and wakeboarding, as well as scuba diving and snorkelling – and if you fancy travelling further inland, you’ll discover even more activities to enjoy. Quadbiking and canyoning are popular pastimes with tourists here, as are hiking and horse riding, and with so many stunning gorges and forests in the area to explore – you’re going to be spoilt for choice.
We recommend fully immersing yourself in the Asturian culture while you’re here by enjoying the many fiestas that are celebrated in Llanes, where the townspeople don traditional costumes and enjoy folk dancing and music. With gastronomic festivals and religious fiestas taking place in the region, Llanes is a fantastic place for sampling some Asturian cuisine which is often rich in seafood, including squid, crab, lobster, and mullet, scorpionfish and anchovies. Cheese is also a staple of the region’s cooking, with soft creamy queso de Vidiago, smoked Ahumado de Pria, and delicious goat’s cheeses such as la Cuevona, all forming part of the delicious recipes that have been passed down from generation to generation. Be sure to sample some Fabada while you’re here (a cassoulet-type stew), as well as tortos served with picadillo and fried eggs – and make sure you wash it all down with a glass of local cider poured from a great height in the traditional way!At Excellence Luxury Villas we pride ourselves on going that little bit further for our guests.
