Cottage
The village house of Pison de Fondon, is in a tranquil and rural village. A quality lodging for four people, it is in a setting where peace and rest are a part of everyday life.
This beautiful house is in a quiet mountain village. It is ideal for exploring the natural beauty of this area with access to the peaks, valleys and the most beautiful beaches in Spain.
This pretty village house, with its preserved stone walls and antique furniture, is bursting with rural charm; everything from the magnificent surroundings to the use of ecological restoration materials makes this a delightful and characterful place to stay.
Original stonework can be seen both inside and out, and we used ‘ecological’ paints for the rendered wall surfaces.

This pretty village house, with its preserved stone walls and antique furniture, is bursting with rural charm; everything from the magnificent surroundings to the use of ecological restoration materials makes this a delightful and characterful place to stay.
Original stonework can be seen both inside and out, and we used ‘ecological’ paints for the rendered wall surfaces. The chestnut ceilings and floorboards are treated with ‘ecological’ oils and dyes and most of the furniture is either restored or antique.
There are two floors.
Upstairs there are two bedrooms with double and twin beds and a fully-equipped, shared bathroom.
The bed clothes are made from organic ‘ecological’ cotton and linen, with fluffy feather eiderdowns and pure wool blankets.
On the ground floor there is a kitchen fitted with an oven and hob, fridge with freezer, washing machine, microwave oven, toaster, electric food-mixer, electric fruit squeezer, ironing board and cooking equipment. The open plan space includes a sitting area with sofa and armchairs, a wood-burning stove and TV/DVD with USB. We have a handful of films and you can bring your favourites too.
This looks on to a large patio of 100 square metres with wooden outdoor furniture, including a barbecue, table and chairs and recliners. Completely enclosed, you can enjoy peace, quiet and tranquillity here.
We make every effort to reduce our ecological impact so that you can enjoy a healthy and pleasant environment. In line with this the house is a non-smoking area.
VISITORS’ COMMENTS
'Well, we have had a lot of experience of all kinds of accommodation and, this time round, we wanted to try out something in a totally rural environment and, to be honest, we have come away delighted. There is nothing lacking to the house itself and, in addition, you notice when you go in that it has all those things that give you that sense of warmth that makes your stay pleasant. Aside from that I should mention the owner, Carmen. It is a real pleasure to meet a host like her. We were pleasantly surprised by her manner, the personal attention she showed and the good person she showed herself to be. We warmly recommend this house to anyone who wants to get to know Asturias well.'
'There are experiences in life we should not miss and one of them is to enjoy the autumn in magical spots like this house: everything about it breathes tranquility. The house is perfect to rest and make excursions to the Somiedo Natural Park. Many thanks Carmen for your good work, you are a delight and have a great eye for detail. We will always return.'

We really enjoyed the peaceful, rural location for a fantastic break. The house was the ideal size for a family of four, and was cool on hot days. Carmen was a lovely host with lots of advice, recommendations for places to visit and walks from your doorstep. The local town of Grado had all the necessary facilities and shops. We especially loved the patio and the garden to sit and appreciate the tranquility. Highly recommended.

Muy recomendable para familias y parejas
Somos una familia con un niño y una niña, y hemos pasado los 9 días más buenos del verano en la casa de Pisón del Fondón. Está equipada con todo lo que puedes necesitar. Un once en limpieza y conservación. Tanto el patio interior como el jardín son lugares ideales para descansar entre visita y visita. Las habitaciones de la casa tienen un tamaño ideal y una distribución muy cómoda.
A buena distancia de los principales puntos de interés de Asturias, pero también ideal para pasar todo el tiempo en Villandás en plan relajado. Se pueden hacer muchas rutas partiendo de la casa.
Los vecinos del pueblo son gente encantadora, y Carmen y Jason son unos anfitriones atentos y pendientes de cualquier cosa que puedas necesitar. Un lugar muy recomendable para pasar unos días en Asturias. Las 8 noches que pasamos se nos hicieron muy cortas.

Cosy cottage in the mountains
This place is very quiet and peaceful, perfect for an escape from city life. The hosts were welcoming, always happy to help and offer advice for what to do in the area - and they have a beautiful garden to relax in. The house has a nice set-up with a kitchen so you can make your meals and a wood burner which kept us warm (it can get quite rainy in the mountains!). It's separate from the host's house, but close enough that you can always ask for help if needed. The bedrooms were comfortable and we got some good night's sleep since it is so quiet. Nearby there are nature reserves, beaches, small towns and villages to explore, and the city of Oviedo. I only stayed for a few days but wish I could've stayed for longer - highly recommend.

Fenomenal
Estuvimos alojados una semana. Carmen nos atendió como si fuéramos de su familia. Muy cercana. La casa está fenomenal, con todo tipo de detalle, miy bien equipada y con un jardín privado, a no más de 20 metros de la casa. Tranquilidad absoluta en el pueblo, buscando relax y descanso.

MARAVILLOSA
Casa Magnolia ha sido increible, incluso mejor que en las fotografías. La casa es preciosa, cuidada al máximo, llena de bonitos detalles, muy buena iluminación y aislamiento del exterior, los ventanales enormes a las montañas...en fin la casa tiene esa calidez que te hace sentir como en casa. Luego está el maravilloso jardin para disfrutar despues de las excursiones del día tomando una cervecita fresquita...
Al mismo nivel que la casa está el trato con Carmen y Jason que son encantadores, hasta se llevaron a nuestra hija de paseo. Los habitantes del pueblo son majisimos, especialmente los que viven enfrente.
Nos teníamos que ir pero nos habríamos quedado mucho más tiempo. COMPLETAMENTE RECOMENDABLE. Tuvimos mucha suerte de poder vivir allí una inolvidable semana. Gracias!

Pison de Fondon Asturias
We had a lovely stay at Pison de Fondon in Asturias. The home was very comfortable and beautifully decorated. The patio and garden were a wonderful place to sit and relax and listen to the birds and other sounds of nature. We were able to cook and eat outside in the privacy of our own courtyard. Carmen, the owner, was very helpful and always available to answer any questions. This is a great place for families and people looking for a relaxing holiday.

Hemos pasado una semana mágica en este rincón de Asturias, la casa y el jardín son exactamente como muestran las fotos, pero añadiendo,el sonido de la naturaleza y la amabilidad de la gran anfitriona Carmen y los habitantes de Villandás.
Hicimos nueve horas y media de viaje, pero imaginaos si vale la pena que ya estamos cuadrando las vacaciones de navidad para Volver!!!

The central location of the house makes it an ideal starting point for visiting the sights of Asturias, undoubtedly one of Spain’s most attractive bucolic regions. The ‘protected area’ of Pico Caldoveiro is very nearby, the Camino Real de la Mesa is 4km away, and Puerto de Maravio is 10km away. The house is also not far from the Parque Natural de Somiedo (20km) and the Senda del Oso (30km). All of these are places of unique natural beauty and provide a wonderful array of walks and wildlife for visitors. Within the village, you can enjoy the simple pleasures of local farming and livestock handling (either in an observational capacity or in a more hands-on sense if you choose!) or you can just relax and enjoy the peaceful surroundings.
There is a good restaurant, 4 Km
Cudillero, nice village in the coast, 1 hour
Grado, 18 Km, 30 min
Oviedo,45 Km, 50 min
Gijón, 1 hour and 10 min
Asturias AIRPORT, 50Km, 1 hour (direct flight from Stansted Airport-London with easyjet)
Getting around
To visit the area I would recomend to hire a car if you don't have yours.
There is a train station in Grado and also buses to many places
Access
Car advised
How to get there
From Grado take the AS-311 to Tameza. After 8 km you turn right in San Pedro on the GR-4 where there is a sign for Villandas and Restiello. After 9km there is a turn to the left signposted Villandas. When you turn into the village there is a wooden sign for the house: look for the wooden doors!
