Dónde: Cudillero

The Cudillero lighthouse still lights up every night at the end of the quay, and after its 2023 and 2024 renovation it has two lofts inside for sleeping. From the bed you see the sea; from the terrace, the coloured houses climbing the slope of the village. This getaway uses it as a base for two nights and goes out to see the Cape Vidío cliffs from a boat and from above, and down to the Playa del Silencio, all within twenty minutes.

## What you need to know about the lighthouse

The Cudillero Lighthouse has two lofts for two people: Pixueta, 40 m², from €190 to €390 a night on its website, and Farero, 50 m², from €290 to €450. Both have a fireplace, hot tub, kitchen, terrace and garden, and breakfast arrives in a basket at the door. You can rent the whole lighthouse for four. Check-in from 15:00, check-out until 11:00. There is no private parking: the car stays in the public car park at the port and you continue on foot, so bring a small suitcase. Its website says nothing about dogs: ask beforehand.

## From the quay to Cape Vidío

## What counts on the bill

Between €260 and €520 per person as a couple: two nights in one of the lofts with breakfast, two lunches, two dinners and the boat. The price is set by the lighthouse: in low season and in Pixueta you stay at the lower end of the range; in August and in Farero, at the top.

## And in winter?

The lighthouse opens all year and Turismo Asturias lists the winter months as low season. Without the boat and swimming, the getaway comes down to the fireplace, the fish and the cliffs in a storm, which from Vidío are more impressive than in summer.

## El plan

### Friday · 17:00 · Arrival at the lighthouse
Park at the port, go up to the lighthouse and wait for sunset on the terrace: the sun sets to the west, over the Cape Vidío coast.

### Friday · 20:30 · Cider and fish at El Remo
On the port square, a few minutes' walk away. Kitchen open until 23:15 from Wednesday to Sunday; closed on Tuesday.

### Saturday · 11:00 · Boat to the Cape Vidío cliffs
It leaves from Cudillero port: an hour and twenty among cliffs and caves, €35 for adults and €25 for children. Only from July to September and if the sea allows. Out of season, swap the boat for a walk through the upper streets of the village.

### Saturday · 13:30 · Lunch at El Pescador
In El Pito, above Cudillero, fish and seafood from its own boat. Closed on Mondays; book ahead.

### Saturday · 18:00 · Cape Vidío from above
About fifteen minutes by car to the west. Cliffs over 80 metres and the cape's lighthouse, free and with no fences at the edge: with children, hold their hand.

### Sunday · 10:30 · Playa del Silencio
A shell of pale pebbles beneath the cliffs, reached on foot down steps and with no services. Swimming from July to September; the rest of the year, the walk is just as good. Lunch at Paloma, in the old town, before heading back.

## Consejos

### Book the lighthouse before anything else
There are only two lofts and the calendar opens about two years ahead. Weekends and August go first.

### Check the sea forecast
The boat to Cape Vidío does not sail in a ground swell; confirm the departure the day before.

### Bring footwear for the Silencio
The descent by steps and the pebble beach call for something better than flip-flops.

## Preguntas frecuentes

### Can I sleep in the Cudillero lighthouse?
Yes, in one of its two lofts, from €190 a night with breakfast, or in the whole lighthouse for four.

### Where do I park to go to the lighthouse?
In the public car park at the port; the lighthouse is reached on foot in a few minutes.

### Does the boat to Cape Vidío sail all year?
No. From July to September and whenever the sea allows.

### Is it a good idea with children?
Each loft is designed for two. With children, rent the whole lighthouse; Turismo Asturias lists a cot.

## Dónde dormir if you're driving
- **La Casona de Pío**, desde 60 € / night: La Casona de Pío is the way to sleep inside Cudillero's old town rather than outside, on the plateau: a two-star hotel, according to Turismo Asturias, in a restored former salting factory on calle Riofrío, about a hundred metres from the old port. It is open all year.
The Riofrío salting factory
Riofrío is one of the little streets that climb from the port through the amphitheatre of coloured houses. The building was a fish-salting factory before becoming a hotel; the breakfast room keeps its stone walls. From the door you go down to the square and the quay in a couple of minutes; for dinner you have El Remo, on the square, or Paloma, on La Ribera, with its whole menu gluten-free, close at hand. Of the plan Sunday in Cudillero, only Silencio beach and Cape Vidío need a car.
Eleven doubles and the attic
There are eleven double rooms, with 21 places in total, decorated with furniture and pictures of an antique feel. All have heating, a telephone, background music, a flat-screen TV, a hydromassage bath, a hairdryer and welcome toiletries. One of them has a sitting room: the attic on the top floor, with a bedroom and a lounge, the one the hotel itself suggests for families or small groups. If you need a cot, ask when you book.
Homemade breakfast in the stone dining room
The house makes it with chosen, homemade produce: fresh orange juice, village eggs with bacon, artisan pastries, sponge cakes, butter biscuits, muslitos de monja, toast and homemade seasonal fruit jams. It is paid separately or included in the rate, depending on which you choose.
€60 to €113 depending on the rate
Turismo Asturias gives indicative rates of €60 to €98 a night for accommodation only and €75 to €113 with breakfast. High season is Easter, July, August and September. Book on 985 591 512 or at lacasonadepio@lacasonadepio.com.
Arriving by car at a pedestrian old town
From Oviedo, take the A-66 towards Avilés and the A-8, the N-632 and the CU-2 turn-off to Cudillero; Asturias airport is about 15 km away. The hotel has no parking: the car stays in the port car park, a paid blue zone from 15 June to 15 October and free the rest of the year, and you walk up with your luggage along sloping streets. In summer you cannot drive into the old town without a permit or authorisation: if you arrive with a lot of luggage, ask the hotel how to do it.
- **La Casona de la Paca**, desde 80 € / night: An indiano mansion among meadows
La Casona de la Paca is a 19th-century indiano mansion, built by José Martínez, an emigrant who returned from America, and turned into a hotel in 1998. It is in El Pito, high above Cudillero, surrounded by meadows. Turismo Asturias classifies it as a three-star hotel. It is surrounded by a century-old garden in the indiano style, with magnolias, camellias, monkey puzzle trees and an oak about 400 years old, and a side terrace with benches.
Rooms and apartments
The hotel has nineteen rooms: singles, doubles, five doubles with a sitting room that look onto the garden and two suites, one with a terrace on the first floor and La Torre, right at the top, with a 360-degree terrace between the mountains and the sea. The attic rooms are on the third floor. Separately, in a building renovated in 2015, there are studios for a couple with a child and one-bedroom apartments with a kitchen for four people; they share the common areas and can have breakfast in the dining room.

Breakfast is homemade: torrijas, casadielles, frixuelos, sponge cakes, cured meats and Asturian cheeses, eggs and fresh juice. Turismo Asturias gives indicative rates of €80 to €107 and breakfast extra, at €9.50.
How to get there and what is nearby

You enter through the gate in the stone wall around the estate, and inside there is lawn, trees and the facilities spread around: pool, courts, a playground and a café with a terrace. From here you walk down to Cudillero's old town without moving the car or paying for the port's blue zone, and by car you are a few minutes from the Selgas palace, also in El Pito, or from Silencio beach.
Pitches of lawn, shade or clearing
The pitches are lawn, some in the shade and others in open clearings. It accepts tents, caravans and motorhomes. Not all have a water tap: if you need one, ask when you book.

- **Faro de Cudillero**, desde 190 € / night: Sleeping inside the harbour lighthouse
The Cudillero lighthouse is more than 165 years old and is still lit. It stands 23 metres above the sea, on the rock where the village ends, and between 2023 and 2024 it was renovated to house two couples. It is run by Floatel, a small Berlin company that also opens other lighthouses and a harbour crane in Hamburg, and is registered in Asturias' tourism register as a tourist apartment.
There are two independent lofts. Farero is 50 m² and Pixueta 40 m², and together they share a terrace and garden over the sea. Each has a bed with a view of the Cantabrian Sea, a full kitchen, a fireplace, a shower and hydromassage bath, wifi, television and a small lighthouse library. If there are four of you, you can book the whole lighthouse and have the terraces and garden to yourselves.
What the night is like and what's included
It is a place for two and for staying in. In winter the fireplace and heating count, and with a heavy sea you hear the waves breaking against the rock from bed. In the morning a breakfast basket is left at your door, included in the price. On request they leave a plate of tapas in the fridge or a minibar with local products, and for the whole lighthouse you can ask for daily cleaning or a cook.
There is a small supermarket, a fishmonger and restaurants a few metres away. The car stays in the harbour's public car park: the lighthouse is reached by a short walk from the quayside restaurants, so bring little luggage. Asturias airport is about 15 km away, a quarter of an hour by taxi.
The seasons published by Turismo Asturias are: high in August, medium from April to July and from September to October, and low the rest of the year.
Two lofts, a long calendar
