Wonderful stay at La Balsa. Emilio and parents were gracious hosts. The best breakfasts of all our stays. Cold fresh fruit & melon, tomatoes, homemade Asturias cake, scrambled eggs or local ham/cheese. Storage of our bikes inside, room with view of creek, free parking available. Great WIFI too. Best value for a Cangas de Onís -Covodonga stay. Very convenient for our La Vuelta viewing.

Lovely inn with wonderful hospitality!
We had the most wonderful 4 night stay at La Balsa. The location was great for sightseeing, hiking, swimming, kayaking, etc. The beds were comfortable and the owners were warm and generous with their time and attention. We advice and guidance we received from the owner regarding where to go and where to eat were better than any guide book. Would love to stay here again.

100% satisfied. Cozy rooms, amazing breakfast
We booked the hotel as base-camp in between kayaking the Sella and trekking the Ruta del Cares. We got all you can expect from a hotel in the country side. We were fully satisfied with our choice. Cozy and clean rooms, nice and friendly service (seems to be a family owned business). Free parking and wifi. Special mention to the complimentary breakfast: Awesome homemade bakery and scrambled eggs. 100% satisfied. Maybe I should mention that it is in the outskirts of Cangas de Onis, probably not walking distance.

Increíble hotel muy cerca de Covadonga y Cangas
El hotel está gestionado por una familia encantadora que hacen la estancia muy agradable y siempre están dispuestos a ayudar. Las habitaciones están muy limpias y son muy cómodas y el desayuno es exquisito. Está muy cerca de Covadonga y Cangas de Onís y dispone de garaje por lo que es ideal para visitar esta zona. Lo recomendaría sin dudarlo.
