Casa Soto

Vegadeo

Hotel

The building that houses the Hotel Casa Soto is built according to the models of the typical architecture of western Asturias: stone masonry walls and slate slabs for the roof, painted facade, and interiors, formed by exposed stone and chestnut wood beams and ceilings. Built around the 19th century, it maintains the original structure and gives a traditional and rustic halo, preserving the canons of popular construction of the region.

Casa Soto is also part of history, a history forged in Vegadeo. In it lived the Cotarelo family, illustrious characters of the region, intellectuals of Spanish letters. Emilio Cotarelo y Mori was a man of letters, nationally recognized as one of the most important thinkers of the 19th century and father of Armando Cotarelo, writer and philosopher, elected in 1913 member of the academies of History and Language and in 1919 member of the Galician Academy. In 1941 one of the “da Veiga” doctors, Antonio Guzmán, established his practice on the first floor of the building. For fifty years Dr. Guzmán’s practice was located at number 16 Armando Cotarelo Street in Vegadeo, which was also the family home during this time. Over the years this building continues to be the scene of stories, the stories of anyone who decides to stop in this Vega del Eo and wants to enjoy the tradition of the Asturian-Galician lands.
