Torre de Villademoros

Torre de Villademoros

, Cadavedo, Cadavedo.

Torre de Villademoros, making the most of a typical 18th century ancestral home, is situated just next to the mediaeval tower which gives it its name, right in the centre of the Asturian comarca of Entrecabos, a protected landscape which stretches between Cape Vidío and Cape Busto. To the east and the west and just ten minutes away, the picturesque fishing villages of Cudillero and Luarca are found, as is the famous salmon-filled river of Esva-Canero, whose spectacular ravines present drops reaching 400 metres.

The tower itself houses a recently-opened and fabulously-renovated suite, and the first written references of this building go back to the 15th Century, although it is thought that the building is at least five centuries older than that. Other than the Tower Suite, there are nine lovely rooms that should suit a diverse range of budgets. Some of them have views of the sea, but all have a bath in their en-suite, a television and a telephone, as well as wi-fi internet access.

The owners told us that the intention with the rooms was to go for neither an overly rural, rustic look, nor to seek out a slick and homogenous contemporary design you might find in city chain hotels. The result in our view is something that straddles both styles nicely: the wooden beamed ceilings give a nod to the structural integrity of the building, whilst soft and smooth wooden walls behind the beds eschew urban hotel living. Meanwhile, gentle pastel coloured walls and well-selected rugs are timeless. The suite however doesn't deny its guests the feeling of being in the tower. The stone walls remain in place inside as well as out and it is set over two floors.

A wander around the grounds is an opportune way to appreciate the majesty of Asturias's greenery, with 9000 square metres of it stretching as far as you could want, extending right to the sea on the tower side. This is also a hotbed for trees (including sweetgums, maple, lime, ash, cherry, oak and chestnut) and plants (among them hortensias, camelias, irises, lavender and hawthorns).

Tower Suite

The medieval tower in the garden gives the name to the hotel, and makes the stunning suite that is the jewel in the crown of Torre de Villademoros. There are exposed stone walls in abundance and all the woodwork gleams with the rich colours of chestnut.

The entrance is on the first floor where the second bedroom and bathroom are found, making this ideal as a family suite. Up another level and we come to the master bedroom which is flooded with light from above. Up again and there is a lounge and the master bathroom finished with lashings of marble. Finally we reach the rooftop terrace with it's impressive views of the nearby forests and fields, right out to the sea between the headlands of Busto and Vidío.

The Tower Suite is fully equipped with telephones, televisions, cable and wi-fi internet, DVD player, Hifi system, minibar and tea and coffee-making.
