Country house in Castrillo de los Polvazares in the mountains of León

In this detached house, surrounded by a 3,000-square-meter garden, you’ll find the peace and inspiration that the extraordinary landscapes along the Way of St. James promise. The house, featuring a spacious courtyard, is located on the outskirts of Castrillo de los Polvazares—a village in the province of León that is classified as one of Spain’s 100 most beautiful villages and is a designated historic site. It is privately used as a study retreat (it houses an extensive library of German, Spanish, and French-language literature) and is ideal as a vacation destination for families and couples: Hiking and biking tours through the charming low mountain ranges and heathland landscapes are just as possible as culinary highlights—both locally and in El Bierzo, as well as in neighboring Galicia and Asturias. A spacious gallery and striking interior design with exposed wooden ceilings make your stay a memorable experience. The small town of Astorga, located 5 km away (founded as Asturica Augusta more than 2,000 years ago), ensures a good supply of amenities and offers a well-developed infrastructure.
