Nuestra estancia en Villa Elena en Potes fue simplemente inolvidable. La anfitriona, Elena, fue encantadora y extremadamente atenta, haciendo de nuestra experiencia algo muy especial.
Nos alojamos en la habitación azul, que nos transportó a un lugar donde el tiempo parecía haberse detenido. Las vistas a la vegetación y la decoración meticulosa añadieron un toque mágico a nuestra estancia.
El desayuno fue una auténtica delicia. Mi pareja y yo tuvimos el lujo de disfrutarlo en el salón, completamente solos, atendidos por Elena. Cada detalle del desayuno fue preparado por ella con un gusto exquisito, haciendo que cada bocado fuera un placer. Cuando pienso en un desayuno perfecto, sin duda sería exactamente así.
Recomiendo Villa Elena a cualquier persona que busque una estancia romántica y hermosa en Potes. Aunque no está justo en el centro, vale la pena por la paz, la atención y la belleza que ofrece.

We loved everything about this property. It was set within an orchard and beautifully decorated and appointed. The host Elena could not have been more friendly and helpful. The breakfasts we had were so tastefully presented and thoughtfully prepared. Easy walking distance to Potes and parking on site. We would definitely recommend it and choose it again.

Elena is so friendly and helpful. Very much home from home staying here. Breakfast was lovely and nothing too much trouble. It is about 10 mins walk to the centre of Potes straight down the road. It is clean and you do feel like you are staying in someone’s house, this is not a hotel at all. Small, friendly and intimate. Great experience.
The parking is gravel / grass so not great for motorbikes however you could use next door, the rooms can be warm on summer days as no air conditioning.

Well what a little gem !!!
Elena is such a lovely host and nothing is too much trouble for her.
She made us an amazing breakfast and there was an area with drinks and a honesty box to pay.
Our room was beautiful very spacious and views to die for !
Large comfy bed with beautiful crisp bedding.
A large bathroom with shower and bath
TV and seating area with comfy chairs too.
Downstairs there is a living area to chill out and relax and look out at the views
A 2 min walk in to Potes where there are loads of cafes, restaurants and bars.
Just wish we could have spent more time there, we will be doing on our next trip there.

We are so happy we chose to stay here. The host, Elena, is gracious and welcoming and her house and rooms beautiful. Comfortable beds, lovely decor, great views and just a short walk into Potes. The breakfast is amazing and Elena made sure to ask what we would like to eat. Best place in town.

A stunning property, within easy walking distance of the town centre. Wonderful views, comfortable bed, lovely bathroom and very tranquil. There are tables and chairs to sit outside under the fig tree, and Elena is a wonderful host. We had a different breakfast every morning - you don’t need to eat again till the evening! Elena had great recommendations for places to eat (La Soldreria was our favourite) and can also advise on trips out. Try to stay for more than one night, to make the most of Villa Elena and the Picos. We are already planning our return!

The house is beautifully renovated and decorated and our room exceeded expectations. ( we felt it was much nicer than the online photos suggested).
Potes is a short walk away and is full of picturesque streets and restaurants.
The owner, Elena, made an amazing breakfast every morning and had wonderful suggestions of places to visit. ( Please do the walk she suggests close to Brez!!)
Parking was on site but was a bit tricky.

We had the garden room on the first floor. It was delightful. Elena was lovely too, and tried hard to cater for vegetarians: still seen as unusual in Spain.

Let me start with the conclusion: The place is very nice. Elena is an excellent host. You will feel at home away from home.
The place is very beautifully decorated, charming, very clean and just a walk away from the center of Potes.
The room was spacious, very comfortable with nice views
I travel quiet a lot for work and the breakfast at villa Elena is better than any industrial 5stars. The perfect breakfast to start the day.
There is a large private parking that accommodates cars or motorbikes
One needs to have a lot of imagination to find something negative about this place

Everything! Elena was the perfect host. We were lucky that Elena was prepared to share her beautiful home with us. Our room was stunningly beautiful. The breakfast was 5 star. The location is ideal as it is far enough out of the town to be peaceful but only a 5-10 minute walk away.
And the home made carrot cake was as good as the best carrot cake in England.
We wished we were staying longer!
