Location
About the surrounding area of Villa MeluerdaLocated in a tranquil spot, just a 5-minute drive from Ribadesella and even less distance from the beach, Villa Meluerda is a fantastic base for exploring the beautiful Asturian coastline. A region of northwest Spain known for its rugged coast, mountains, religious sites and medieval architecture, this beautiful area is a little less discovered than some of the busier parts of Spain, offering the chance to immerse yourself in the natural splendours and heart-warming culture Spain is famous for.
The villa itself is in a quiet location in the charming town of Meluerda. The best way to get about is by bike, and five bikes can be left at the villa for you, or there is the possibility to rent eight bikes during your stay. Of course, everything is reachable by car as well, or if you prefer you can go on foot to explore the local surroundings. In the nearby area, there are several eateries we would recommend! A restaurant called Casa Pacho, which offers tapas and an à la carte with traditional Austrian dishes. The village inn called El Texu, similarly serving tapas and à la carte dishes. And in Ribadesella, Restaurante el volante has an excellent menu that is well worth trying!
In Ribadesella you will find all the conveniences you need for your stay, with supermarkets, shops, banks and pharmacies, as well as a myriad of delicious restaurants and tapas bars. Located just a 5-minute drive or 15-minute cycle from Villa Meluerda, you can head to the town for an afternoon, exploring the remarkable Tito Bustillo Cave and sandy beaches as well as picking up supplies.
The closest beaches to the villa are Playa de Guadamia and Playa de la Atalaya, both located within a 20-minute cycle of the villa’s front door, so you can enjoy the stunning coastline at your own pace. Guadamia beach is particularly popular with families, it is a small and secluded tidal beach, which sits in a nook between two cliffs. At high tide, there is a small beach to sit on, with shallow water to swim in, and as the tide goes out, small pools form with large stretches of sand to explore. Playa de la Atalaya, on the other hand, is a small rocky beach with beautiful views.

Kids
Best Suited For: All AgesFrom the moment you arrive, Villa Meluerda feels as though it was designed with families in mind. The spacious rooms are filled with homely features, and the large garden has so much space for little ones to run and play! There are four bedrooms, making ample room for a family of eight.
Inside, the vast living area has room for your whole family to spend all-important quality time together, be it around the dining table or huddled on the sofas playing a game! The villa’s two twin bedrooms are well suited to kids, and a cot can be provided for little ones. With wi-fi and satellite TV, children can happily keep up with the world back home, sending pictures back and forth of all the amazing places you visit. It is the outside space on offer that we are sure kids will love most at Villa Meluerda. With a luscious lawn for them to run and play, loads of outdoor seating, a hammock, hanging chair and of course the large private swimming pool, they will be kept entertained for hours on end!
Getting about in the local area is best by bike. It is an excellent way to keep your kids active during the holiday, cycling to the local beaches and into the town. Guadamia beach, a 20-minute cycle from the villa, is a favourite for families. With a tidal shore, the beach changes shape and size through the day, much to the admiration of little ones! When the tide is high, the water is calm and shallow, making it safe for kids to splash about.
As the tide goes out, small pools form in the sand, so even the smallest children can have a go in the water. Nearby Guadamia beach, you will also find Bufones de Pría, where you can witness a natural phenomenon where jets of seawater spout from holes and cracks eroded in the limestone cliffs. These blowholes will amaze kids and adults alike, making it a must-visit during your stay, and it is best to see at high tide. The cliffs are very high, so young children will need to be supervised, but they certainly shouldn’t miss seeing this mystical wonder!
