NORTH AUTHENTIC EXPERIENCE

A village like
few others.

Open your window and you might see a farmer passing with cattle and dogs. In summer, neighbours cut and gather hay in the meadows. Here in Villar de Vildas, life is still shaped by the land, the animals and the seasons.

This is the Somiedo we want to share: greeting neighbours on a village lane, walking through meadows and coming home to a warm fire. Staying here is a chance to discover, gently and respectfully, a way of life worth keeping alive.

The village, the warmth of the fireplace and the views from the wooden balcony. Discover a getaway to Villar de Vildas.

LIFE IN VILLAR DE VILDAS

A life deeply rooted.

≈60

Around 60 residents in winter

A few more join us in summer. This is a place where neighbours know one another and village life happens on the doorstep.

Around 1,000 cattle

Farming shapes both the landscape and everyday life. The meadows, paths and mountain pastures remain working places.

This is the village we know as locals. Resident and cattle numbers are approximate and change over time.

Bar La Corte

The village, served at the table.

Bar La Corte is approximately a one-minute walk from either house. We recommend its cooking with local produce and meat from the village's livestock farms: another way to get to know Villar de Vildas.

Breakfast is not included in the accommodation price. Bar La Corte offers breakfast for €6 per person: coffee, Cola Cao hot chocolate or tea, with toast and sweet or savoury options such as tomato. Check its opening hours and availability.

From either of our two houses, you can set off on foot towards the mountain paths and Braña de La Pornacal, without driving to start your walk. Choose a route that suits the weather, season and your experience.
