Castiello de Selorio is a palace in the coastal council of Villaviciosa, Asturias. It is run by Deloya Gastronomía, a catering and events company that calls it its «great Palace» and presents it as one of the most exclusive wedding venues on the Cantabrian coast. It is a place to hold the whole wedding in one spot, with open-air gardens and an indoor hall. An 18th-century manor house, it welcomes groups of 120 to 240 guests and hosts just one event a day, which makes it ideal for medium and large weddings.
Where it is and how to get there
The palace is in Selorio, in the council of Villaviciosa, a few kilometres from Gijón and surrounded by countryside and mountains. Rodiles beach is only 4 kilometres away, inside the Villaviciosa Estuary Nature Reserve, and the area has three golf courses. The palace offers a transport service, a comfort for guests who would rather not drive home in the small hours.
Spaces and capacity
The gardens are the heart of the place: Deloya Gastronomía writes that everything happens in the Castiello's «majestic gardens», and that is where the drinks reception is served. The banquet is served in an indoor hall decorated with plant motifs. The estate also has a terrace, a marquee, a dance floor, a children's area and a space for the civil ceremony. Banquets run from 120 to 240 guests, and some couples have married here in a cocktail-party format.

Catering, menus and prices
The food is prepared by Deloya Gastronomía, the same company that runs the palace, with a kitchen and service that move at the same pace so the wedding flows without a break. Menus run from €148 to €250 per guest; one of them is €182 plus VAT per adult and includes the aperitif, drinks, menu, open bar and DJ. On top of that there is a fixed €30 per guest for use of the venue and a €1,000 deposit at booking, which is deducted from the final bill. The cooking is market-led, traditional and signature-style, with adaptable menus and vegetarian, vegan, coeliac and allergy-friendly options. The cake can come from the house or be brought by the couple at no extra charge, and the party can run until 05:00.
Rooms, parking and accessibility
Guests can stay in the house itself, in a country house within the estate. The palace has its own car park and is accessible for guests with reduced mobility.
If it rains
Besides the gardens, the palace has an indoor hall, a terrace and a marquee. The hall is the perfect place for the banquet and the marquee can cover the drinks reception, so the party carries on comfortably even if the day dawns grey.

Spots for photographs
The gardens are the main stage: the palace itself describes them as the place where every moment «lights up to become a memory». The palace, one of the most elegant on the Cantabrian coast, is the other great backdrop, and the hall with its plant décor is a lovely spot for dinner photographs. Just 4 kilometres away, Rodiles beach is perfect for a session before or after the wedding. The palace also offers a photography service.
