Tastefully Restored Fisherman's House, 45 Mins Drive from Airport
Central and Sunny Location, Lovely Mountain Views, 10 Mins Walk to Port
Sleeps 6 (3 Bedrooms)
|
|
Architect owner has recently restored this former fisherman's house in Luarca, situated on the old coastal Pilgrim Route to Santiago de Compostela. It has accommodation on 4 levels including a bathroom and a separate shower room, a traditional timber balcony and a charming south-facing terrace garden. It commands lovely views over Luarca town centre and the beautiful countryside and mountains beyond. This comfortable house is an ideal base for the discerning holidaymaker to enjoy all that Asturias has to offer, providing an increasingly rare opportunity to experience a real sense of traditional Spain. Note on Parking: Luarca is an old fashioned town and so there is not much off-road parking about, but you can park across the street to the house, tight to the wall, with your wing mirror tucked in, or there is a parking area 100 metres further up the street. The local tourism office can advise you on the numerous walks, cycle routes, museums and attractions in the surrounding area.

Owner profile
About the owner
I live in the beautiful west of Scotland, but I grew up in Spain in the 1960s. I work as a designer and my husband is an architect.
Why the owner chose a home in this location
I fell in love with Asturias because it reminded me so much of the unspoilt Spain in which I grew up. Tourism has barely reached the areas where we have our properties. It is an astoundingly beautiful country and we have found the Asturians to be warm and generous spirited people, rich in their traditions, and respectful of the natural world. The geological contrasts within the country are extraordinary too, as the land sweeps from the Picos de Europa mountain range down to quite wonderful bays, where you can still find yourself the only people on the beach.
