Castillo del Bosque La Zoreda is a castle-style hotel 4 kilometres from Oviedo, in the heart of the Asturian countryside and set in a magnificent natural landscape. For a wedding, that means stone, greenery and the city close by. It is one of the most requested wedding places in Asturias, and it suits couples who dream of a castle with a hotel, a restaurant and open country around it, all in one place.
How to get there
Getting here from Oviedo is easy, since it is only 4 kilometres away: a short trip by car or taxi. For the journey home in the small hours, a bus booked for everyone is a lovely idea: nobody has to drive after the party and everyone gets home without a fuss. Guests who stay overnight at the castle save the whole trip.
Spaces and celebration
La Zoreda brings a hotel, a restaurant and open country together in one place, so the ceremony, drinks, dinner and dancing can all be enjoyed without leaving the grounds. The surroundings, with meadows and trees, set the scene for a wedding day full of light and green.

Food and catering
The castle has its own restaurant, Restaurante La Zoreda, serving traditional cooking. It holds TripAdvisor's Certificate of Excellence and ranks among the 10 best restaurants in Oviedo, a good reason for the wedding meal to be one of the big moments of the day.
Rooms and parking
As a hotel, the couple and some of their guests can stay in the very place where the wedding is held, which makes the night much more relaxed. It is also handy for guests arriving by car from Oviedo or Gijón.
If it rains
It rains in Asturias, and a hotel with its own restaurant offers covered spaces so the celebration can carry on in comfort. A lovely room on a grey day also makes beautiful photographs.

Spots for photographs
The building itself, with its castle air, is the great backdrop, with its façade and its surroundings. The landscape does the rest: meadows, trees and soft light. A lovely time for a stroll is in the late afternoon, when the sun drops and the light turns golden.
How to book
The best way is to call the hotel and arrange a visit to see the castle in person. And if you are looking for photography and video for that day, Evan & Natalia Simon work on a select number of weddings in Asturias, with a no-obligation chat beforehand.
