Impeccable Historical Palace

Engel & Völkers is proud to present an impeccable historic mansion in the best location in Somió. Linked since its construction with the highest bourgeoisie and industrial nobility of Asturias, Villa María is a unique property. Commissioned in 1890 to the architect De la Calzada by the businessman Tomás Zarracina, it was later extended (supervised by the architect Del Busto) under the ownership of the Counts of Real Agrado. The house, in eclectic bourgeois style, with a neoclassical base and Italian Baroque elements, has a surface area of 1,800 m2 spread over four floors. On the main floor there is an entrance hall leading to the dining room for up to 30 guests, the library and the noble salon as well as the living room. The ceilings are over 4 metres high and the walls are finely panelled. The doors are of Spanish walnut wood and the floors are of elm and walnut in the dining room and oak and ebony in the living room. The main staircase is made of Spanish walnut. The staircase is crowned by a skylight that illuminates the walls, decorated with balconies and French-style mouldings. On the two upper floors there are eight spacious bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms, the master bedroom with sitting room and dressing room. On these floors there are two living rooms and a cosy billiard room. There is also a second service staircase that connects all floors. In the semi-basement, with light windows, there is a laundry room, a large ironing room, wardrobes and the staff flat (living room, two bedrooms and bathroom). Outside, the magnificent garden with sculptures and fountains enhances the beauty and elegance of Villa Maria, without a doubt a unique palace that invites you to dream.
