Hotel Quinta Duro, Asturias

Description: Hotel Quinta Duro

Surrounded by lush gardens, and located just outside Gijón, Hotel Quinta Duro is set in a late 19th century stately home, built in the “noucentista” style. It features many of the characteristic elements of traditional Asturian architecture, such as open balconies, a timber gallery and a beautiful outdoor porch with columns. Inside, the extensive use of chestnut floor and wall panelling, along with a fine collection of antique furniture, and artwork by Mariano Benlliure create an atmosphere of restrained luxury.

Ideally placed for relaxing visits to this fascinating city, Hotel Quinta Duro offers comfort and privacy in idyllic surroundings. Guests can stroll through the gardens, which have an immense variety of both native and non-native trees, relax in the lounge, or read in the library, with its rich wood panelling and comfortable sofas. Breakfast is served in a stately south-facing room that leads to the garden through the porch.

While maintaining its heritage character, to maximise comfort, Hotel Quinta Duro’s owners have carefully incorporated modern facilities to the building. These include lifts to all rooms, complementary internet, and solar panels for water heating.
