“Lugar tranquilo y sin ruidos. La casa muy bonita y cuidada. Justina es un amor. Sin duda volveré aquí en mi próxima visita a Asturias. Una experiencia de 10.”

“Nuestra estancia del 10 al 15 de este agosto se nos hizo corta. Es un antiguo caserón restaurado donde Justina, su dueña, ha sabido conservar el encanto de lo antiguo. Con un amplio jardín muy cuidado así como el hórreo, cuyo bajo se ha habilitado como cenador en el que disfrutar de veladas agradables y tranquilas. Si vas con idea de disfrutar de su entorno, donde verás sitios preciosos, y de pararte a conversar tranquilamente y sin prisas, Justina, pendiente en todo momento de tí, más que casera, acaba convirtiéndose en amiga. Un encanto de persona. Una pena que la casona únicamente esté abierta en agosto porque es un sitio al que vale la pena volver.”

“Casona típica cántabra del siglo XVII cuidada, decorada y atendida por Justina espectacularmente. Es un sitio que parece de cuento, y ubicada perfectamente para conocer la zona de Llanes. Sin duda alguna muy recomendable y para repetir en cualquier momento.”

“Reservamos unos días en ‘El Ama De Llaves’ para conocer la zona costera asturiana próxima a ella. La casa es una preciosidad, del siglo XVII y reformada con muchísimo gusto. Desde el primer momento, Justina, su dueña, fue una persona sumamente atenta, cercana y amabilísima. Estuvimos tan a gusto con ella, en la casa y disfrutando tanto del entorno, que decidimos ampliar la estancia hasta el final de nuestras vacaciones. Con ella todo han sido facilidades, nos vamos con las pilas recargadas y deseando volver!!! Mil gracias por todo, Justi, eres la mejor Alberto y María”
