Magnificent 17th-century Palace in the heart of Asturias

The Palace of Sorribas is located in the parish of Cazanes, in the Asturian municipality of Villaviciosa. It is situated on a hillside of Mount Coroña, surrounded by meadows and with the forest of La Carbayera linked to the property. In the access wall to the palatial grounds, two of the defensive towers that formed the medieval wall of Villaviciosa are preserved, transferred to this location in the mid-20th century. The first documentary mention of a manor house in Sorribas dates back to 1383. In its current configuration, it is a 17th-century construction, with some isolated earlier elements, such as a late Gothic window that is still preserved in the annex to the main building. The main building has three floors: ground floor, attic, and a semi-basement. A wall surrounds the complex, with two dovecotes in the lower corners. The palace, as well as the chapel, retains the family coat of arms. The palace was declared a cultural asset, with the category of monument, on September 20, 2017. The house-palace is located on a 20-hectare estate, of which 8 hectares correspond to private forest. Regarding the ground floor, the main entrance leads directly to a magnificent large living room (65 m²), where several environments are differentiated, highlighting an impressive fireplace. Adjacent to this room, there is an office-library, as well as a splendid dining room with large wooden beams on the ceiling. This floor is completed by four bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a toilet, as well as a large kitchen with an adjoining laundry room. A beautiful chestnut wood staircase, illuminated by a large stained glass window, leads us to the attic floor, where there are two bedrooms, each with a bathroom, a corridor that dominates the entire property, and finally an attic. The semi-basement consists of a garage for several vehicles, a storage room, a boiler room, as well as other smaller rooms. The extensive garden, in front of the south façade of the property, features various species, among which the unmistakable bougainvillea that characterizes the property stands out. The private forest, with its waterfall and the romantic forest trail that gives access to the house, flanked by imposing oaks, will make you feel in a magical and special place. The complex is completed with a chapel, located in front of the house-palace, as well as the old stables next to the main building, which have 835 m² distributed over two floors. The structure of the building is intact and offers numerous possibilities for rehabilitation for possible commercial use in the hospitality sector.
