La Casona De Pío

Fabulous little hotel, very quirky with lovely staff. Breakfast was superb, best we’ve had all holiday. Location is excellent, beds comfy and shower great. Cudillero is a charming little fishing village full of bars and restaurants and lots of walks.

We loved our stay at La Casona de Pio! It was so adorable and exactly what we were looking for for our stay in Cudillero. The hotel is fairly small and very well kept with friendly staff. Our room was sizeable with both a balcony on the front of the building and a private patio to the side. The shower worked well and the bathroom seemed like it had been recently renovated. The location is close to the center of town but very quiet. The town doesn't really have cars, so we parked at the large free parking lot by the port, which has about 6 charge points for EVs. Then we walked no more than 10 minutes to get into town. Be aware that the hotel's location is not exactly where Google Maps shows it. It is right next to Casa Mari Sidreria. Walk all the way towards the back of the town, then next to the Heladeria there is a sign pointing you to the hotel. We loved this hotel and heartily recommend it. I was sad to stay only one night!

Casona del Pio might be a very nice hotel, but my wife and I wouldn't know. When we checked in and were given our room key, we quickly discovered our room was right next to the lobby (room 101, if I remember correctly). Realizing we might hear a lot of noise in this location, we immediately asked if we could change rooms. The woman at the front desk, while she was very friendly, said that they only had one more room available and they had reserved it for someone checking in later who requested a room with two beds. She also confessed that they only give our room 101 when they're fully booked. Sure enough, we heard all the noise from the lobby: people coming and going, every conversation, etc. It woke both us up quite early and it was really annoying. Also, our "bed" was really two beds put together, so they could have easily accommodated the person who requested a room with two beds and also given us a different room. But then again, if this happened that person would probably be writing this review right now about how noisy room 101 is.

This review is long overdued! Regrettably only a night's stay on 9 May. The hotel is built into at the bottom of a hill, hence the steps to the reception etc. The facade, building and architecture is typically Austuriana and very beautiful. The reception is smallish and then off to the rooms on two upper floors. Not until breakfast (if you're having) will you discover the very beautiful and spacious dinning room on the first level which opens out into the balcony! Breakfast is quite a grand affair with a variety of cooked and continental choices served by the lady owner. If like me, you're a smaller eater than perhaps opt out. Otherwise, enjoy yourself! The picture of the room does not do any justice. The room is bigger, clean and spacious, looking out on the roofs of the other buildings. The bathroom is good size too. I think wifi generally is not brilliant in the area. And all the ladies were very friendly especially Eva who was very helpful. Certainly recommended!!

A one-night stay in Cudillero on the Camino del Norte. Cudillero is a 2km diversion off the Camino, but it is worth it. A quaint, lovely little seaside village reminiscent of something in Cornwall, England. With fantastic seafood…. And this hotel is a little gem. The room was comfortable. The shower was fantastic. The staff are lovely, and so friendly. And breakfast was great. Everything you need on the Camino, and more. I would highly recommend.
