3 Bedroom House in San Juan de Parres, Asturias

La Rondita is a fully-equipped holiday home suitable for families, groups or independent travellers, situated at the edge of a traditional Asturian village, close to local facilities and many outdoor activities. Located in the foothills of the Sierra del Sueve, La Rondita is equally close to the Picos de Europa National Park and the Costa Verde's fishing villages and beaches.
Because of this location, La Rondita is ideal for either an active holiday or a relaxing break. To view the house details, please see below.
If walking is your passion, La Rondita offers a number of walks both long and short that can be undertaken directly from the house without needing to drive, plus others that are slightly further afield both in the mountains or on the coast.
Fuentes, where La Rondita is located, has a train station on the narrow gauge FEVE railway, linking between Santander and Oviedo.
This coastline is also known as the Jurassic Coast and there many beaches offering actual dinosaur footprints, plus a visit to the Jurassic Museum of Asturias (MUJA) is a must for any dinosaur enthusiast.
Lunch is an essential part of Spanish life and stopping at one of the many Mesones (Inns) or Sidrerias (cider houses) in the area to try the amazing value Menu del Dia (set meal of the day - 3 courses with choices) is highly recommended. Also, La Rondita is fortunate to be located extremely close to 3 of the 4 Michelin -starred restaurants in Asturias: Casa Marcial (2 stars), El Corral del Indianu (1 star) and Arbidal (1 star). Gastronomy is a key feature of this area.
Recommended local places to visit:
1. Ribadesella - pretty, nearby coastal town with fishing port and beach.
2. Cangas de Onis - gateway to the Picos de Europa, popular tourist town, weekly Farmers Market.
3. Covadonga - religious shrine dedicated to Our Lady set in a grotto in the Picos de Europa, incredible mountainside Basilica plus also spectacular natural lakes set up in the mountains - great for walking!
4. Picu Pienzu - our local 'biggie'..this mountain is 1268m tall and offers breathtaking views across the Sierra del Sueve in the directions of both the Picos and the coast.
5. The Cares Gorge (the classic Picos walk).
6. Incredible beaches, both wide and open (fantastic for surfing) or small and cove-like (good for sheltered swimming and rock-pooling).
7. Oviedo, the capital of Asturias is 45 minutes drive away, small, clean and full of culture, curiosities and shopping!
Interesting fiestas to witness:
1. El Bollu (pronounced bo-yu) - in July celebrates the local chorizo bun!! Local music (bagpipes), traditional costumes, parades, and lots of cider.
2. El Descenso del Sella - the annual canoe race down the River Sella between Arriondas and Ribadesella on the coast, which occurs at the beginning of August. A truly international event, with competitors from many different countries. Worth seeing, both for the party and parades before and the incredible fiesta spirit that absorbs the town for these 24 hours.
3. Amagüestu - the annual fiesta to celebrate the chestnut harvest at the beginning of November. Live music, a traditional food and craft market selling local honey, chestnuts and chestnut products, jewellery, baked goods, freshly-pressed apple juice from the new harvest and many hand-crafted local items.
4. La Cabalgata de los Reyes Magos - every 5th January, Arriondas hosts a parade through the town at night, welcoming the Three Kings who will deliver presents to lucky children the following morning (Epiphany!)

Summary: We have recently spent a wonderful two weeks staying at La Rondita. I had spotted La Rondita about 5 years ago and knew it was somewhere I wanted to bring my husband and two teenage daughters one day. It was certainly worth the wait and exceeded my expectations. The house is in a small village (Fuentes) but only a 10 minute drive from Arriondas which is quite a sizeable town with supermarkets; restaurants; bars, shops, chemist, hospital etc. The house was very clean, comfortable and well-equipped. The owners (Sara and Bill who live opposite) were very helpful and gave us lots of tips and information. This is not something we have experienced in our previous holidays to Asturias and really enhanced our holiday and gave it a very personal touch. The area really has something for everyone. We enjoyed some very scenic walks in the mountains and some relaxing days on the glorious beaches of which there are many (Cueves del Mar was our favourite). We spent a day in Oviedo (1 hours drive) sight-seeing and shopping. We all enjoyed canoeing down the River Sella and were lucky enough to be there for the International Canoe Festival which was quite a spectacle. All in all it was a wonderful holiday and I can thoroughly recommend La Rondita and the area. Thank you Sara and Bill for everything.

Summary: Fuentes is ideally situated to visit both the mountains of the Picos and the beaches on the nearby coast too. We made excursions every day visiting rivers, beaches, caves, stunning mountain viewpoints and even a dinosaur museum- which the kids loved. La Rondita was fantastic - relaxing and quiet , we particularly enjoyed sitting in the garden and soaking up the sun late afternoon after a busy day exploring the area. We were outside every evening eating in the garden too. Sara was a excellent in helping us with everything and a very welcoming host. It was nice to have an owner nearby which added a particularly personal touch to our week. Having used vrbo a lot many of our other rentals didn't have this. Can't recommend La Rondita or the Arriondas area enough. We will return and, as our two girls get bigger, explore more of the high Picos de Europa.

Summary: We have just returned from a two week holiday at this delightful house nestled in the Asturian countryside. Sara and Bill are excellent hosts, even staying up to greet us when we arrived after midnight. They are really helpful and available, without being too ‘present’. Sara recommended a local restaurant, La Posada de Antrialgo, which caters for vegans and even booked the table for us. The 6 course meal was exceptional! There’s lots of information about the area in the house folder which proved really helpful too. The house is clean, comfortable, well equipped and very peaceful. We loved sitting in the garden listening to the birds and watching the very friendly robin who perches right next to you waiting for a few crumbs. We really enjoyed hiking in the Picos de Europa and also the closer peaks which you can tackle directly from La Rondita. Our favourite day was hiking to the Refugio Vega de Ario from the lakes at Covadonga (the road up to the lakes closes at 8am so if you want to avoid having to get the bus up be prepared for an early start). The views are spectacular. The Cares Gorge hike is also an excellent day out if you don’t suffer from vertigo! There is a great choice of quiet sandy beaches within a 30-40 minute drive, and don’t forget to visit the Bufones de Pría (blow holes) when the tide is in. The river Sella is only a 5 minute walk from the house and is a perfect place for swimming or you can hire kayaks from nearby Arriondas. We had a wonderful experience and have no hesitation recommending La Rondita. Thank you Sara & Bill for everything

Summary: We had a fantastic 7 days staying at La Ronda. The owner was very helpful and made us feel very welcome. There was loads of information about the area at the accommodation, most hand written, by the owner. Asturias (district) was super and offered lots of mountain activities, including walks and river swims, whilst still being close enough to the beach, for trips. Loved the local food, the cider! and the peace; This is a quite spot to stay. Stunning views... beautiful countryside... nice people. We will be back and hopefully saying at La Rondita again, one day!

Summary: La Rondita was a perfect place for our three nights in the area. The house had everything we needed and we couldn't have asked for a better stay. Waking up to birds and the trickling spring definitely made it feel like we were on vacation. Bill and Sara are excellent hosts and always seemed happy to help and provide local knowledge. I highly recommend La Rondita.
