Do you want your heart to beat faster, or do you want the world to stand still? At Casa Selmo, the balance between adrenaline and stillness is within reach. Our location in the valley allows us to offer you the best of both worlds: the energy of the sea and the deep silence of the Asturian mountains.
Adrenaline & Sports: The North in Motion
For those who can’t sit still, Asturias is the world’s largest natural gym:
Surfing for Everyone: Rompiente Norte School offers classes for adults and young people, taking advantage of the Cantabrian Sea’s power so you can start your surfing journey safely.
Horseback Riding & The Bear’s Trail (Senda del Oso)
Exploring our valleys on horseback or cycling along the famous Senda del Oso (an old mining railway track) are experiences that connect you directly with the local flora and fauna.
The Cares Route (Ruta del Cares)
If you love hiking, this trail is the crown jewel of the Picos de Europa. A breathtaking gorge that every hiker should experience at least once in their lifetime.
Wellness & "Ser y Estar" (Being and Presence): The Sanctuary of Silence
At Casa Selmo, we believe that rest is a form of healing. We have designed our spaces to encourage introspection:
The 1824 "Panera": Our architectural jewel, built entirely of wood, is now a 40 m² space dedicated to wellness. This is where Irene facilitates yoga retreats, meditation, and women's circles in an atmosphere of absolute seclusion.
The Peña del Carro Viewpoint: Just a few minutes' walk from the house, we recommend this "balcony over the valley" to practice the guided breathing exercises available for download in our guide.
Mindful Nutrition: Starting the day with our Buffet Breakfast is an essential part of the experience. Local artisan bread, homemade pastries, yogurts, and fresh fruit to nourish your body before a peaceful day.
Whether surfing a wave or meditating beneath the century-old wood of our panera, Casa Selmo is the place where everything connects. If you are looking for a venue for your next retreat or simply a getaway to breathe in the fresh air, we are waiting for you.
