    The food is authentic, made by the very kind owners. They also pay attention to special diets. Location is great and very quiet. Cleanness is top. It’s a wholehearted place run by a cute family. We regret no to book a longer period.

The food was definitely worth it in terms of quality and price: super fresh ingredients and expertly prepared. The hosts were incredibly friendly and helpful.

    The room above the dining room can get a bit noisy if people stay late having dinner. The hosts need to be wary about that.

    Liked everything, especially the hospitality. The entire place is also very comfortable.

    Nothing at all! The road to the property is narrow, but manageable.

    Everything was absolutely amazing! The breakfast was plentiful, delicious, and homemade. The dinner was extra but a million times over worth having. It felt like fine dining in service, taste, and presentation. The rooms were spacious, comfortable, had great views, and everything needed for a pleasant stay. The hosts are delightful, attentive, and the most friendly. They speak a little English as well which was nice for our small amount of Spanish we have learned. We cannot wait to return!

    Our hosts Dragos & Aida were delightful, their hard work to ensure we were comfortable and had all that we needed was exceptional. We opted to enjoy the tranquility of the accommodation so spent one of the days enjoying the pool and the garden. We ate breakfast and had 2 evening meals you can’t fault the presentation and quality of the food on offer. Well done to you both and every success for the future. Not forgetting baby Mickola being serenaded by Dragos walking around the garden , such pleasure.

    Everything was wonderful - be aware that if you are not used to it, the narrow roads getting there can be quite tricky.

    The breakfast was incredible, as was the dinner we requested. It felt like there was incredible attention to detail at every turn - from the beautiful breakfast spread to the decor and robes available in the rooms. It felt truly like a refuge and also like home!

    I would prefer to say how can it be improved… it would have been quite nice to have an external power socket so we could have charged the car, but we managed to charge in Las Arenas. Access to the property is quite tight but fine if you take it slowly.

    Our room was top floor with amazing views. Nicely laid out and comfortable. The food was amazing and the hosts were so helpful and welcoming. We had 1 dinner and 2 breakfasts. All were a delight.

The man and wife looking after Refugio were friendly and very helpful. The hotel was very clean and comfortable.

    A very nice stay in a charming house that offers a stunning view on the Pico de Europa national park. The owners are very friendly and great cooks! We particularly appreciated the B&B not only offers a refined breakfast, but also a diversified menu in the evening and tasty sandwiches to go during the day!

    Nothing. For us it was faultless.

    Everything. A wonderful location with an amazing view. The property is superb and the accommodation is fab. The hosts are super friendly and couldn't do enough to make your stay as good as it could be. The building, rooms, furnishings, pool and grounds are all in superb condition and mega clean. We ate in their restaurant both nights and the food was top notch. The breakfast was amazing: Freshly squeezed orange juice, tea, coffee, fresh fruit, yogurt and pastries plus a huge selection of other items freshly cooked for you. We stayed in the top floor room which has a wall of windows overlooking the pool and mountains. We will be back.

    Nothing. Outstanding stay.

    This place was absolutely outstanding. It is located in a lovely small village about 20 minutes drive from the start of the Ruta del Cares walk. The couple who run it couldn't have been more helpful, they made us a delicious breakfast and sandwiches to take on the road. The view from our room was spectacular. I loved our stay, would go back anytime and couldn't recommend it highly enough. Most comfortable bed I have slept in so far in Spain.

    Very tight access roads if you are a bit challenged in driving, but only for a few hundred metres. The roads to the town are spotless and great to drive with beautiful scenery.

    Exelent location if you want to do hiking, such as the Cares or Bulnes and culturaly close to Covadonga. If you like quiet and peaceful this is it. The couple/owners of the stablishment are very sweet and helpful. The food is really good, I wouldn't go anywhere else in the area for breakfast or dinner. Highly recommend it.

    What a wonderful hotel in a very beautiful location. We had a fantastic stay. We were made to feel welcome immediately by the owners. Their service and attention to detail was excellent. We had the ground floor room. It was spacious and light with views out to to Picos in the distance and the immediate village below. The peace and the calm were incredibly relaxing. The location is ideal for walking trails and incredible scenery. We had dinner as well as our breakfast there. The food was prepared to a very high standard and was delicious and very good value. We would fully recommend Refugio del Cares. We will definitely return for a longer stay.
