The house

“My granny's house, all to yourselves.”

This house belonged to my granny. My husband and I restored it stone by stone, using the chestnut wood that was in the hayloft, and since 2014 we've rented it out whole to families and groups of friends.

It has a hórreo (the traditional Asturian granary on stilts), a meadow for the kids and dogs to run around in, and a big kitchen where everyone ends up gathering. The name comes from the old yew tree (texu) next to the village chapel, said to be more than five hundred years old.

We live in San Juan de Beleño, five minutes away. We'll welcome you when you arrive and we're on the phone for anything you need.

The last stretch

Motorway as far as Cangas de Onís. From there, about 40 minutes of mountain road following the river up to San Juan de Beleño, the main village of the municipality.

From Beleño, the last 2 kilometres are a narrow, winding tarmac road with passing places. After the chapel, it's the second house on the right, the one with the hórreo.

In winter, if it snows, we'll call you the day before. The snowploughs come through early, but it's worth carrying chains in the boot.

Phone signal and the basics

Mobile
Movistar and Orange work well in the meadow and on the balcony; inside the house, only just. Vodafone only in the village.
Wi-Fi
4G router covering the whole house. Fine for email and watching a film; for video calls, the balcony is better.
Shopping
San Juan de Beleño has a shop, a bakery and a chemist. The big supermarket is in Cangas de Onís.
