Rooms and apartment in Cuerres, Ribadesella
Casa de Aldea Villalén has five double rooms and a two-bedroom connecting apartment, all with private bathroom, in the heart of Cuerres (Ribadesella, Asturias). Each room keeps exposed wooden beams, stone or warm colours, and takes its name from a character of Asturian folklore: the Xana, the Cuélebre, the Diañu Burlón, the Busgosu and the Nuberu. Breakfast is available for 13€ (tax included) for those who want it, and every room includes free wifi, free parking and help booking local activities: hiking, cycling or canoeing down the Sella river.
Apartment of the Trasgu
The Trasgu is the house's own goblin: red cap, a limp, and an incorrigible habit of moving things around when no one's looking. That's why this apartment is the most homely of them all: two connecting rooms, one in earthy tones with two single beds and a sofa by the balcony, and another in green with wood panelling, a writing desk and a rocking chair facing the open door. They share a full bathroom with a tub and their own terrace overlooking the garden, the fruit trees and the mountain beyond. Plenty of room for a whole family — and for one more little troublemaker.
Features
- Two connecting rooms
- Private bathroom
- Private balcony
- Mountain views
Room Nº3, the Xana
Xanas live wherever water springs forth: fountains, wells and cracks in the rock, guarding treasures they hand over only to those who know how to look. This room keeps an exposed stone wall running from floor to ceiling, contrasting with the warm-toned walls and the wood of the wardrobes and shutters. It has a double bed, TV, private bathroom and a glazed door opening onto a small balcony among the trees. In the mornings the light filters in through the green, and the sound that reaches you is that of water and birdsong.
Features
- Double bed
- Private bathroom
- Romantic atmosphere
Room Nº4, the Cuélebre
The cuélebre is the winged serpent that sleeps coiled around its treasure in the mountain caves, waking only one night a year. Its room is the coziest and most sheltered in the house: deep grey walls, dark wood flooring, two single beds and an armchair by the window. The private bathroom is spacious, with its own natural light and access to the balcony. A refuge for deep, unhurried, long sleep, just as befits the creature that dwells there.
Features
- Double bed
- Private bathroom
- Cozy atmosphere
Room Nº7, the Diañu Burlón
Neither good nor evil: the diañu burlón is pure mischief. It hides in corners, leads travellers astray, and laughs at you from where you'd least expect it. Its room sits under the eaves, with exposed wooden beams crossing the sloped ceiling and a run of windows stretching along the whole wall beneath the roofline. Light green walls, a double bed, a reading armchair, a fridge and a private bathroom. It's the room with the most nooks and crannies in the house: you never quite know where the ceiling ends and the mischief begins.
Features
- Double bed
- Panoramic views
- Exceptional natural light
- Private bathroom
Room Nº8, the Busgosu
Half man, half billy goat, the Busgosu is the lord of the forest: he protects the trees, the animals, and anyone who enters the mountain with respect. His room is the most wooded of them all, with a sloped ceiling of beams and wood panelling, amber-toned walls, a spacious double bed, a built-in wardrobe, and a rocking chair by the window beneath the eaves. The private bathroom has a whirlpool tub and an arched window overlooking the woodland. The most comfortable choice in the house for resting after a day on the mountain.
Features
- Double bed
- Private bathroom
- Whirlpool tub
- Woodland views
- Rustic and welcoming décor
Room Nº9, the Nuberu
The Nuberu is the lord of the clouds and the storms: he rides upon them, deciding when the rain falls and when the sky opens over the valley. His room sits closest to him, beneath the double-pitched wooden roof, with exposed beams and a corner window bay that embraces the treetops. Deep blue walls, a double bed, a desk and an armchair by the light. When it rains, you hear the water on the roof; when it clears, the green pours in from every side.
Features
- Double bed
- Sunrise view
- A blend of tradition and modernity
- Local art décor
