La Caseria del Palacio is comprised of two apartments, one with two bedrooms and the other one with four bedrooms, which share a traditional Asturian construction style. Both apartments can be easily converted into a 6-bedroom apartment, providing 12 accommodation places which can be increased up to 15 if required by installing spare beds. It is part of the Historical Complex “Marquesado de Casa Estrada” (17th century), together with the Palace and the Chapel -a few meters from La Casería del Palacio-, and other minor facilities and the land. 

The 4-bed apartment has 2 double rooms, each of them equipped with bathroom and a large bed. The room downstairs is suitable for elderly or disabled persons, as special care has been taken in the design of the access to the bathroom and its elements. Upstairs there is a beautiful room incorporating a small living room, where an extra bed can be placed. The bedroom is located in the mezzanine, and access may be difficult to persons with some disability.

The 8-bed apartment has 4 double rooms, two of them fitted with twin beds and the other two with a large bed each. An extra bed can be fitted in each of the twin-bed rooms. Three of the rooms share two bathrooms, and have direct access to the corridor, while one of the large bed rooms has its own bathroom. An extra bed can be fitted in this room also.

Each apartment has a kitchen equipped with fridge, electrical cooker, oven and microwave oven, mixer, etc. and all necessary household equipment; living/dining room with TV+DVD and fireplace; central heating and excellent thermal insulation, with double-glazed windows; a library and lots of DVDs.

In addition to the 40,000 m2 land, with different fruit-trees -mainly apple trees- it is possible to enjoy our gardens and beautiful al fresco dining area, with dining tables, benches and a barbecue, all at our Clients disposal.

Bimenes is a small County in the central area of Asturias, only 10 minutes from the A-64 motorway. It is well known for its natural environment, with small mountains full of oaks, chestnut trees, hazelnut trees, beech trees, etc. with very little human impact, with makes the area ideal for trekking, with plenty of routes for the trekking lovers.

For those into more sedentary pleasures, a nice variety of restaurants are located in the surroundings. Traditional Asturian cuisine can be enjoyed at really good prices, as well as, of course, apple cider (Bimenes is part of the Cider Region) and the outstanding locally made sausages, which can be tasted in bars and restaurants and even purchased directly from the manufacturers.

The Palace and the Chapel of the “Marquesado de Casa Estrada” deserve a visit by themselves, but after only 30 minutes by road it is possible to enjoy destinations such as Oviedo, Gijon, Arriondas, and places located at the oriental coast of Asturias such as Lastres, Tazones o Villaviciosa. In Villaviciosa, the Ria de Villaviciosa natural reserve is a unique place for birdwatchers, where dozens of different species can be observed. Guided tours are available, stopping at the best observation posts.

Regarding Museums, it is possible to visit, just  5 minutes away, “La Casa de les Radios” (Radios Museum) in Suares, and the “Museo de la Sidra” (Cider Museum) in Nava. Most of the Museums in Asturias are located in Oviedo and Gijon: Art Museum, Cathedral Museum, Botanic Gardens, Aquarium, Railway Museum, Asturian preromanic architecture, roman ruins, etc. About 30 minutes away, the two Museums in Asturias receiving more visitors: the “Museo de la Mineria” (Mining Museum –MUMI-) in El Entrego, and the “Museo del Jurasico” (Jurassic Museum –MUJA-) in the beautiful coast of Colunga.

Around 45 minutes away, it is possible to visit emblematic places such as Cangas de Onis and the Sanctuary of Covadonga, or the fishing town of Ribadesella.

On the A-64 motorway, take the Exit 14 (Lieres-Nava-Infiesto-Arriondas), located between the exits to La Secada (towards Oviedo) and Sariego (towards Santander). The old Oviedo-Santander road is accessed after Exit 14, and after 6 km we arrive to Nava, where the AS-251 road must be taken (from the main road, to the right, see the Bimenes road sign), which leads directly to Bimenes. Shortly after the town of San Julian we will find the school, and right after a signalled road leading to the villages of La Carbayal and La Fontanina. Through this road, 150 m from the school, to the left, the entrance to La Caseria del Palacio can be found.

If getting to Nava from the Arriondas/Infiesto area, or through the N-634 road, we will have to cross the town of Nava until taking the AS-251 turn, always from the main road, now to the left side.

A different route will lead us to Bimenes from El Entrego through the AS-17 and AS-338 roads or from Barredos (Laviana) through the AS-17 and AS-251 roads. Both routes, very winding, go through beautiful landscape but providing a more difficult access than taking the previously suggested ways. If coming from Barredos or El Entrego, we will find the way taking us to La Caseria del Palacio turning left just after Bimenes City Hall, and just before the school.
