Hotel Rural Casona de Cefontes

Very warm welcome, our Spanish is limited but we were able to converse easily with Adolfo in French!

Breakfast was a little disappointing - apparently there were two prices (we paid 11euros for 2) but had expected a better choice for which the charge is 11 euros per person but we were not informed of this on arrival.

Lovely, out of the way property with a rural aspect, yet easy (10 mins) drive into the centre of the city/beach (Gijon’s beach is spectacular!). Free parking at the hotel is also a plus if travelling with a car. The owners are very friendly and obliging, and even though their English is minimal, they are good communicators. Breakfast was first class. If you want a break from the usual holiday accommodation, I would recommend this property whole heartedly.

Bed very comfortable and junior suite was very nice. Breakfast was the best of all places we've stayed in this trip to Spain and the owners were very accommodating at breakfast.

1. On arrival, housekeeper could not direct us to the nearest Catholic church as it w a s a Saturday, spoke little English. 2. Instant coffee in room, would have liked greater access to coffee thru out the day, esp. since meals had to be taken elsewhere. 3. Location rated as fair because it took 30 min. to get into town, a mere 5 miles away. 1 restaurant a mile away for dinner w a s the only close source for meals except for breakfast. 4. Written materials were only in English, which was problematic because there was no one on hand to answer our questions on arrival.

Loved the fact that the property was slightly rural, the views were lovely over the fields. Really good restaurant nearby that you can walk to, although there was only us and another couple there but had a great night all the same. Really friendly owners who couldnt do enough to help - so nice. Really clean room too.

As someone has previously said, a couple of tables and chairs in the sun would be lovely.
