Asturias, Spain
Villandás Rural is a complex of two independent rural houses, located in the Asturian region of Grado, in the heart of Asturias but close to the coast. These houses, Magnolia and Pisón de Fondón, are equipped with all the comforts needed for relaxation and offer private outdoor spaces that invite you to enjoy uninterrupted tranquility.
Magnolia, a lovingly restored old barn, offers cozy accommodation for two, with the option of an extra bed for a child up to 12 years old. Every detail of its renovation reflects a deep respect for the environment, blending traditional materials and techniques with modern comfort. From the sustainable roof insulation to a pellet boiler that ensures efficient and eco-friendly heating, Magnolia becomes an ideal refuge to enjoy in perfect harmony with nature.
At Villandás Rural, sustainability is the heart of everything. Here, respect for the surroundings is present in every detail: from the use of eco-friendly products and support for local businesses to the gardens and vegetable plots where food is grown naturally. These outdoor spaces not only nourish but also invite you to stroll, relax, or simply enjoy the peace this unique spot offers.
The balance between past, present, and future is felt in every aspect of Villandás Rural. The legacy of those who have lived here is honored through traditional farming practices and a life connected to nature.
