This is a historic property that seemed to be run by a local family. The host (owner?) Emilio spoke good English in addition to his Native Spanish. I love the rustic wood all over the property and the outside spaces with stone patios was really nicely done. A good blend of old stone house with modern bathrooms and windows that open to let in the cool mountain air. Breakfast was great and served at tables, also there's an area in the dining room with fruit and yogurt that you could easily grab and go with.

Some might be challenged by the stairs with a great deal of luggage, but the Staff/Owner was very willing to help with luggage and only went up one floor. Its a relatively small property and the Staff seem to know each guest.

Perfect stay, very impressive and charming interior, the breakfast room was amazing and the breakfast itself very rich and tasty-we loved it! Yes it’s next to the street but you have a beautiful view nevertheless and in our eyes not relevant since eveybody who books it can see the location … and we could sleep with an open window because there was very few traffic during the night. We also appreciated the safe storage for our bicycles 👍

A charming family-run hotel is conveniently located between Cangas de Onís and Covadonga, making it perfect to reach both places within a 10-minute drive. Very clean with a lot of attention to the small details that make this hotel comfortable The owner speaks fluent English and is exceptionally friendly: recommended a restaurant for us. We like breakfast, that is served in a beautifully designed room and includes fresh juice, eggs, ham, salami, bread, pate, jam, and a homemade family cake.

Nice quiet hotel 5 min by car to the small lovely town of Cangas de Onis, and on the road to Covadonga sanctuary and lakes. This area of Asturias is really beautiful, so much greenery around! Breakfast was delicious and plenty of choice. The owner also makes homemade cakes, and I was able to try one of his pastels de calabacin, it was absolutely delicious! Thank you for being so welcoming 😀

What an amazing hotel / house! Very nicely and authentically decorated rooms and common spaces. Comfortable bed. The owner is very welcoming and offering recommendations. Tasty breakfast including scrambled eggs. Quiet rooms but earplugs are also provided for light sleepers (the hotel is located by a road).

A cozy hotel in the perfect spot to explore picos de Europa. It was not only very comfortable, clean but also it had a great ambience. In addition breakfast was very good and the stuff very friendly and helpful. We would definitely recommend it!

Excellent location, easy to access with car and near to the main points of interest. It was also easy to park nearby in a public and safe parking lot - free of charge. Emílio really made the difference welcoming us and suggesting us what to do and what to visit in the area. Delicious breakfast - we loved the homemade cake and the freshly scrambled eggs.

Beautiful hotel close to Covadonga Lakes. Our room was lovely, and the breakfast has a great selection in the mornings. Location is easy to access the national park via bus or car, and a short drive to Canga de Onis.

Hotel La Balsa is very close to Congas de Onis, however, far away from the crowds. Perfect location to stay for a visit to Covadonga. It was a fabulous retreat with very friendly staff, nice terrace, super clean and comfortable rooms, and a great homemade breakfast! Our 2 wishes is to return and bring more family with us!

Amazing breakfast (for Spanish standards) with scrambled eggs and a big buffet! Room was super clean and owner speaks English - what else to wish for? :) It is close enough to ride for a sunrise to Lagos de Covadongas, do the circuit around both lakes and get back to the hotel for late hours of breakfast (been here in July & definitely recommend) - that was a perfect start of a day! :)

Nothing really - tiny little thing that bed could be more comfortable, but nothing too serious, only add a picky me :)
