El Bosque de las Viñas

This stylish self-catering accommodation is located in the countryside town of Boal, western Asturias. It may sound like a contradiction but Boal is an example of a countryside town – town and country together, if you want a bit of both. The five cute cottages cater for two or three persons, and if you want proof of their style, let’s just say they have been awarded the “Excelencia Turistica 2009” (Excellence in Tourism by the Regional Society for Tourism of Asturias). In short, these are some of the finest integral self-catering accommodations in Asturias.

All accommodations are houses within the 200-year-old “Casona Asturiana” and function on a similar basis to a hotel with a permanently staffed reception. Choose from an apartment with a Jacuzzi or fireplace, but whichever you choose, they all provide the basis for a wonderful Asturian stay, whether you are a couple looking for a little romance or travelling with a family.

El Bosque de las Viñas is actually situated within the Historic Park of Navia, and there are numerous places of interest nearby: the mountains and beaches of western Asturias, small villages and hamlets. Those of you looking for a little bit more action, can take up mountain hiking or cycling. It is also close to the Oscos Mountains, which have been declared World Biosphere Reserve, and if you travel along the Sierra de la Bobia road, you will find the nice village of Taramundi. So all in all, this peaceful set of lodgings also provides a pretty big punch of things to do and see. Of course, Asturias is also famed for its cuisine and there is no end of great restaurants to enjoy.
