The origin of The ´Casona`
is an old construction from the 17th Century (1690) which later
on was rebuilt and restored until 1910 . In this year it was
bought by the descendants of a well known ´Indiano`(emigrant
who returned from America having a fortune) called the ¨Buey
de Oro" ( golden Ox). Finally it was restored by
the current owner Paloma Lopez who has given the house a new
life , letting remain the most esential principles reason for
this project. QUIET, PEACE, QUALITY.
It is situated in Naveda,(see
how to get here) a village
which belongs to the ¨hermandad` ( a group of villages)
of Campoo de Suso , a few kilometres from Reinosa, near Nestares
Golf Course and the road to Winter Sports Resort of Alto Campóo.
This centenary House is ideal for rest and relax.
When its owner Paloma Lopez bought the house she was bearing
in mind that she wanted to offer all the travellers confort
and quality in every season of the year.
Its actual owner, Paloma
López, has also conducted all the restoration works and
decorations made in the house. It was also her idea that the
house should have a new life keeping
all the most important aspects which are tradition and the comfort
and quality of the materials and structure of the house.
This idea was the starting point for the search of clean spaces
and the luminosity and life of all of them in every way. As an anecdote we have to point out that
the Casona was being rebuilt some gold coins from the time of
Charles the Fourth(1794) and Ferdinand the Seventh (1818) were
found. These are nowadays exhibed in the Living Room of the
house or Salón.

It is a two storey building which also has one more floor right

part or loft to some of the rooms on the second floor .They
can only be imagined once they are seen. GLASS GALLERY.
There is also a glass gallery joining two of the rooms. Every
room is different not because of its colour but becouse of its
architecture and its singular decoration designed by the owner
of the house in colaboration with the Architect Cesar Cubillas.
We have to mention specially the carpentry and wood works of
Tomás Sobaler who has had a great influence as well as
Paloma López and César Cubillas.
It
is remarkable as well the special
soundproofing of the walls of the rooms.
