Description
Engel & Völkers exclusively presents the Palacio de los Vigil Quiñones, in Moral de Sariego, an exceptional property forming part of Asturias’s historic and architectural heritage.
Built between the 16th and 17th centuries, with various subsequent renovations and extensions, this palatial complex is an outstanding example of Asturian manor-house architecture. The built ensemble comprises the Main Palace, a chapel, a recently renovated caretaker’s house and a water well, together with other minor structures. The main building is arranged around a central section with arcades and a south-facing gallery, flanked by two three-storey towers. Its ashlar-stone façades, which preserve the coats of arms of the Asturian nobility, reflect the historic importance of the Vigil family and its former entail.
The complex stands on a private estate enclosed by a perimeter stone wall and includes a well, a former stable and a separate chapel dedicated to Saint Roch. Its elegant portico and imposing ribbed vault enhance the property’s historic and architectural value.
Historically linked to the Vigil family entail and originally attributed to the circle of Juan de Ribero Rada, the Palacio de los Vigil Quiñones still preserves the essence of an era in which architecture reflected its owners’ wealth and social standing.
This property offers an exceptional opportunity to restore it to its full splendour through a comprehensive renovation project. Thanks to its size, layout, privacy and unique character, it could become either a prestigious private residence or an exclusive boutique hotel.
Beyond its architectural value, the Palacio de los Vigil Quiñones offers the opportunity to acquire a truly unique property in Asturias: a place with history, identity and character, ready to be adapted to a new project without sacrificing its essence.
An exceptional piece of Asturian heritage, with the potential to become a landmark project.

Location: Moral, Asturias
The Palacio de los Vigil Quiñones is located in Moral de Sariego, in the heart of the Cider Region, one of the most attractive rural settings in Asturias. It is a green, peaceful and open valley surrounded by gentle mountains, apple orchards and forests, where the landscape and traditional architecture form part of everyday life.
The property enjoys a privileged natural setting, with expansive views of the mountains and Asturian landscape, in an atmosphere of complete peace and privacy. Sariego still retains the authentic, unhurried character of rural Asturias, away from mass tourism yet perfectly connected to the centre of the region.
The municipality is dominated by Pico Fario and the Cordal de La Llomba, and offers numerous routes and paths for exploring the landscape on foot or horseback. The Camino de Santiago also crosses the municipality, whose heritage includes the Romanesque church of Santa María de Narzana and the distinctive chapel and cave of San Pedrín.
The location is particularly appealing due to its proximity to both the coast and Asturias’s main cities. Gijón is approximately 25 kilometres away, around 25–30 minutes by car, while Oviedo is approximately 30 kilometres away, around 25–30 minutes. This location offers the privacy of a rural property without sacrificing access to the cultural, gastronomic, commercial and business amenities of both cities.
The Cantabrian coast is also very close. Villaviciosa and its beaches are approximately 20–25 kilometres away, while some of the most emblematic beaches on the central and eastern Asturian coast, such as Rodiles, España and Tazones, are within comfortable reach for enjoying the sea all year round.
Asturias Airport is approximately 55 kilometres away, with a journey of around 40–45 minutes by road, providing connections to Madrid, Barcelona and other national destinations. Its proximity to the main transport routes in central Asturias further enhances the appeal of the location.
Sariego is special for its combination of landscape, tranquillity and authentic Asturian character: a valley of mountains, apple orchards and traditional architecture, deeply connected to cider culture and its local festivals, offering the privacy of a rural setting without sacrificing proximity to Oviedo, Gijón and the coast.
