Palace in dialogue with the Asturian sea and mountains

In the green and hidden heart of eastern Asturias, the small village of Bores emerges as a natural lookout suspended among mountains, meadows, and silence. Located in the municipality of Peñamellera Baja, this enclave preserves the essence of the most authentic Asturias: a place where time seems to move differently, in harmony with the rhythm of the landscape. Protected by the imposing Peña Mellera, which gives identity to the entire region, and open to the valley that descends toward the Cares River, Bores enjoys a privileged topography. Light filters between peaks and slopes, creating a constant play of atmospheres that wrap the surroundings in ever-changing beauty throughout the day and the seasons. Its proximity to the Picos de Europa National Park adds an extraordinary dimension: protected nature, routes that cross mythical landscapes, views that stir the soul. Bores is, in essence, an intimate balcony overlooking one of the most iconic territories in northern Spain. To live or design in Bores is to do so in a place where nature does not merely accompany — it defines. A setting that invites retreat, contemplation, and a way of life that prioritizes what is essential.

The property enjoys a privileged orientation, open to all four horizons, allowing light to move through each room with a distinct character throughout the day. The main façade, facing due south, receives continuous sunlight that enhances the texture of the stone and creates a warm atmosphere even in the coldest months. This full exposure turns the palace into a luminous organism: clear mornings, radiant noons, golden sunsets, and nights that settle into an environment of absolute calm. An orientation that not only illuminates, but elevates the architecture and enriches the interior life.

The palace retains a surprisingly intact structural condition, preserving the essence of its original architecture. The walls, arches, and noble ashlar elements reveal a solid past and a construction designed to endure. The roof, recently restored, ensures the protection of the entire building and provides an exceptional starting point for any restoration project. The interior spaces, though in need of comprehensive rehabilitation, preserve immeasurable architectural and heritage value. They are authentic settings, untouched in their narrative, allowing for a contemporary intervention without losing the historical depth that defines them. The property’s current state represents a unique opportunity: a building with soul, a robust structure, and elements of great beauty, ready to be reinterpreted with excellence and respect for its legacy.

The property includes a project designed to transform it into a high-end vacation complex, an operating model perfectly aligned with the growing demand from visitors seeking authenticity, nature, and unique experiences in this privileged area of eastern Asturias. The location, the scale of the building, and its heritage character allow for the creation of a one-of-a-kind destination in the market, capable of attracting high-value national and international clientele. The combination of historic architecture, natural surroundings, and experiential concept anticipates high occupancy rates and outstanding profitability, particularly in a region where the supply of properties with this identity is extremely limited. The uniqueness of the palace, together with the magnetism of the setting, makes the project a strategic opportunity to position itself within one of the most dynamic and expanding tourism segments: emotional, cultural, and retreat-focused tourism. In this context, profitability is measured not only in economic terms but also in the creation of an iconic asset, capable of establishing itself as a benchmark within the landscape and the boutique hospitality market of northern Spain.
