Cuello House
It is one of the oldest buildings in the village, although, as with almost all of them, its current appearance is the result of various extensions and additions to the original house. The family surname that gives it its name already appears linked to the village in 1692: there is a document from the time that mentions Domingo and Joseph de Cuello, residents of Morillo de Tou, and it records that they held the status of 'infanzones', meaning they would have had certain privileges. In the period before it was abandoned, it was inhabited by the Raso family.
As in other restored houses, the traditional slate roof was maintained. Behind the thick stone walls and the striking arch made of large voussoirs at the entrance, the house also hides a spacious cellar where wine barrels were kept. Cuello was one of the first buildings to be restored. In the early days of its operation, it housed the reception and, in a ground-floor space, the summer supermarket was set up. It soon came to house the kitchen, bar, and restaurant, functions that remain to this day.
