Hotel Torre de Villademoros

Top choice in Asturias


The crowning glory of this gorgeous country retreat, 15km east of Luarca, is its medieval tower, now a luxurious three-level suite. Equally appealing are the 10 beautifully appointed rooms in the 18th-century main house and the spacious, relaxing common areas, all tastefully combining old stone walls, pale wood furnishings, kilims and contemporary art; the large garden; and the good in-house restaurant.

Out back, trails lead across the fields to beaches and dramatic coastal bluffs.
