Casa Rural
From Eating Asturias, the Encyclopedia of Asturian Gastronomy
Literally “rural house”. It is very popular to rent a whole house in a village in Asturias for a family vacation, a weekend with friends, or a romantic getaway.
They are popular all over Spain, both for their prices (much lower than hotels) and their settings, which are, unsurprisingly, rural. Many of them in Asturias are located in tiny villages in the hills or mountains.
Usually, casas rurales are self-catering with a fully equipped kitchen and associated appliances. If the house is located on a larger plot, there’s likely to be a grill and outside seating.
Almost all of them will require a car to get to, and may be located some distance from the nearest store.
