Just 3 kms from Asturias airport, and a little more to the city triangle of Avilés/Gijón/Oviedo and the coast of Western Asturias and Galicia, this property is ideal for those who travel and demand the best of communications.

Built in 1906 in the “Indianos” tradition, it occupies 6800 m2 of land on a level site just a little inland from the estuary town of Soto del Barco. In addition to the 900 m2 (9687 ft2) living space over 3 floors, there is a 2-storey out building of 600 m2 (6458 ft2) available as accommodation, stabling or other options. A “horreo”, the traditional harvest store of Asturias, and a formal pond are other notable features, along with many mature exotic trees.

Approaching, one is greeted by two statuesque palm trees, mark of the “Indianos”. The wide courtyard is overlooked by a sweeping double stone staircase in the Italianate style and the 28m long front terrace, allowing one to view the grounds and surrounding wooded countryside.

The Art Nouveau throughout, reminiscent of such masters as de Fuere, Gaudí, Guimond, Klimt, Mackintosh and Tiffany, to name a few, is a mark of this palace's superior interior design. Original period features such as the wooden and worked iron staircases, ceiling and wall mouldings, doorways, solid wood floors, all signal the highest quality of its period.

The palace is distributed as follows, each floor is 300 m2 (3229 ft2).
