Casa Villa Maria, Canales

Casa Villa Maria is a countryside stay in Canales, Spain, set in the Ortiguero de Cabrales area, where the landscape shapes the whole rhythm of your trip. This is the kind of place that suits travelers who want quiet time outdoors rather than a busy town center, with a Japanese garden for calm walks and a terrace that’s made for lingering in the open air. Families will appreciate the family rooms, while pet owners can travel with their dogs or cats since pets are allowed. Guests also mention the practical touch of contactless check-in/check-out, which helps when you arrive after a long drive.

The surrounding Picos de Europa region is the real draw: Lakes of Covadonga are about 20 km away, and the Ruta del Cares trailhead area is roughly 15 km from the property. If you’re planning day trips, you’ll find the national park scenery close enough to build your schedule around hikes and viewpoints. For meals or downtime at the property, the BBQ facilities and the option for private picnics add flexibility, especially when weather or timing doesn’t line up with restaurant hours.

Reviewers rate Casa Villa Maria 7.6/10 based on 28 reviews, and the feedback points to a peaceful atmosphere and a stay that feels geared to nature-focused itineraries. Some guests highlight the value of the discounted offsite parking, which can make getting around easier in this rural part of Asturias. If you’re looking for a comfortable base with outdoor-friendly extras, this is a solid fit for couples, families, and solo explorers who want the mountains within reach.
