L'Alceu - Hotel Rural y Apartamentos

The traditional rural house is situated in a picturesque place between mountains and the ocean. It's a 10 min drive to the nearest wild beach and as much to Ribadesella - a local kind of resort town. The house is lovely and boasts a small pet zoo - 8 pussy cats and a rabbit. Good for families with children.

The breakfast is poor and bewildering - olive oil and tomato paste to spread on a piece of bread. I believe some Spanish speaking guests could comment in Spanish on this for the hosts to take action. As they don't speak A WORD OF ENGLISH. This is another drawback. The hotel is for the Spaniards only. No WI-FI though claimed. The last thing is mediocre room cleaning - the maid is a garullous absent-minded girl of thirty. As most of the Spanish, by the way. Lazy and relaxed they are. If not having siesta this very moment they are in the state of foretasting it. Take note that the climate in Asturia is seldom favouring. We had 3 sunny days out of 12. All the rest were rainy though warm. And this in August.
