Casa Parres Spain
Holiday Home Rental Description
Offering the perfect blend of modern and traditional architecture, with a luxurious interior, beautiful grounds and incredible mountain views, Casa Parres offers the perfect holiday accommodation for up to eight guests. Situated in the pretty Asturian village of Parres, just 4km from Llanes, this stunning country-style property is set in idyllic surroundings between the Cantabric sea and the impressive Cuera mountain range.
Set entirely on one level, Casa Parres is an ideal choice for young families, older guests, or those who are less mobile. The interior is light and spacious, with huge floor-to-ceiling windows that allow in plenty of Mediterranean sunshine and showcase those spectacular mountain views. The living area features exposed wooden ceiling beams and hardwood flooring, as well as beautiful crafted furniture and furnishings such as a stunning grandfather clock. These handsome pieces, along with the comforting hearth, perfectly complement the modern, sumptuous sofas in shades of dark and soft grey with accents of white and cream. The lush green of house plants dotted around the area, the artistically placed piano, and the modern wall and ceiling lighting offer a touch of contemporary luxury, giving the entire space a high-end, classy vibe.
The living space incorporates a stylish dining area with a modern dining table and seating; the perfect spot to enjoy family meals over a glass of local wine while taking in the amazing views. Casa Parres’ kitchen is equally modern and stylish with a rustic touch and features a breakfast bar with seating, ample food prep spaces, and top-quality appliances that include a large American-style fridge-freezer, integrated oven and microwave, as well as crockery and glassware.
Casa Parres has three spacious double bedrooms, all decorated in the same unique style as the rest of the villa and all featuring floor-to-ceiling windows, rich accents of wood, modern lighting fixtures and quality soft furnishings. There is an extra bed in the main bedroom so that you can comfortably accommodate two extra guests – ideal for larger families or groups holidaying together. The villa’s three bathrooms are modern and offer the option of either bath or a walk-in shower.
The grounds of Casa Parres are impressive, with vast, well-maintained lawns and breathtaking views that really have to be seen to be believed. The villa benefits from a beautiful covered terrace area complete with outdoor dining furniture and a built-in barbecue so that the whole family can enjoy alfresco meals. It also offers the perfect spot to enjoy a morning cuppa or a glass (or two!) of delicious local cider or wine as the sun sets over the mountains.Parres is a quiet and tranquil Asturian village located just 4km from Llanes – a popular destination with visitors to the northern coast of Spain thanks to its lush green landscapes, mountain trails and a plethora of beaches. Hiking, cycling, and horse riding are popular pastimes here, and those who head to the coast can enjoy swimming, snorkelling, and surfing, as well as gentler activities such as exploring the rock pools and caves you’ll find dotted along the shore.
The northern coast is beautifully dramatic, featuring colourful fishing ports and offering visitors a wide variety of beaches to explore. Cuevas del Mar beach and San Antonio beach are both considered some of the best 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.
Llanes also features two incredibly unique interior beaches that have no seashore, Cobijeru and Gulpiyuri – both of which have been declared natural monuments. The seawater makes its way through tiny tunnels in the limestone cliffs to these unusual beaches, and both make wonderful picnic spots for families who are holidaying with small children.
We recommend immersing yourself in the Asturian culture during your stay by enjoying the many fiestas that are celebrated in Llanes and the surrounding areas, where the townspeople don traditional costumes and enjoy folk dancing and music. With gastronomic festivals as well as religious fiestas taking place in the region, foodies will be in their element! Llanes is a fantastic place for sampling some of the area’s delicious seafood, including squid, crab, lobster, 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.
