3 Cabos

Top choice in Asturias


A beautiful conversion of a 120-year-old farmhouse, 3 Cabos enjoys fabulous panoramas from its elevated inland site. Six exquisitely designed rooms in the main house feature open-stone walls, comfy beds and spacious bathrooms, while a brand-new building at the side has three big, bright, sea-facing rooms opening into the grassy gardens.

The panoramic bar-restaurant (dinner mains €18 to €29) focuses on fresh local products. There are two cosy lounges with libraries, and your hosts have plenty of information on the area. Take the El Vallín turnoff from the N634, 4km southwest of central Luarca, and follow signs.
